There comes a time you have to take responsibility for your own future and stop waiting on others to do this for you. "Point", look what the Federal Government has done as you watched your Cartoons. The baby boomers was the first ones to drop the baton. I speak from the experience of having done so. Now that ball has gained a lot of speed down the hill to destruction. Leave the watching of cartoons on occasion and watch the bills being passed. Be informed. Your future depends own it. At least take a little time and learn to speak Spanish, Chinese, or Russian.
These teens & adults probably think you are too old to watch these or they think that those shows are stupid. Or possibly they are just being immature.
I think it's because early cartoons were aimed at children, specifically. Cartoons nowadays have more adult themes and references than cartoons from the early 1900's to the 1960's. Those were cartoons from a more innocent era. People are more cynical and savvy now. There are plenty of cartoons nowadays that are aimed squarely at teens and adults. 'Family Guy', 'Futurama', 'The Simpsons', and many more, are written with an adult sensibility. I am not, in the least bit, ashamed to view these cartoons. In fact, I often reference them in everyday conversation. Despite all of this, I agree that there is a stigma attached to adults watching animated shows.
Heck no! I guess it depends on the cartoon but for the most part absolutely not.
How do teens differ cognitively from adults?
Most people in their late teens and early 20s rarely watch them, they mostly watch dramas, sitcoms and the news
I'm guessing that adults and teens don't find the comedy in these cartoons amusing which i get because i am a teen! "grown up" shows like family guy seem much more amusing because they have crude humor that they find funnier, people mature with age and those dumb kiddie cartoons don't seam to be mature or like you said grown up enough. but cartoons like Disney's classic "steamboat willie" (please look it up on youtube) are hilarious to everybody, so very good choice.
That's not true. I'm a teenager and I still watch cartoons and I don't mind other people that watch them as well. There are cartoons oriented toward teens and adults. Adult Swim (late nights on Cartoon Network) is specifically designed for people 18 and older.
as a teacher I observed that from my students.. mainly because they're grown ups and expected to be mature by their parents and peers, doing new stuff such as hanging out learning new things outside, how to interact with other teens and not sitting in front of the TV watching their favorite cartoon show. Well, there's utterly nothing wrong about it and who says it is. It depends on people's peculiar way of finding entertainment and one should not be condemned for doing so.

Not all adults expect that. Many adults watch cartoons themselves. I think in general though, adults have a lot of responsibilities and they want teenagers to learn about responsibilities and learn to contribute to society before they become adults. Some of them might push too hard, but some teenagers don't take responsibility for pretty much anything either... so there is no way to say "this group is right and this group is wrong" in questions like this. I'm an adult, and I take responsibility for a lot of things... have a job, pay the rent, etc. But I also like cartoons. I don't necessarily think that one has anything to do with the other. It is just the perception that people are sitting around watching something silly and not learning to work hard... that sort of thing.
