Probably because there's thousands of high school teachers around the country working hard at the same thing, helping unruly teens understand that their bad behavior is inappropriate and won't be tolerated...
If no one tells them (politely and calmly) that their behavior is unacceptable because it is disturbing others, how will they learn?
Again, they're teachers in a position of authority and it is their responsibility to help discipline and steer youth in a productive responsible direction. Same with parents, employees at a theme park or movie theater, etc etc etc.
So according to you, I need to spend my park time letting people ahead of me in line and re-riding rides in order to allow a bunch of obnoxious jerks to continue being obnoxious jerks? Really?
Is that really all you have taken from what I have said or are you just trying to prove a point?
I'll reiterate, if you are in line and would like to avoid an obnoxious group, be aware of the groups around you and if you see signs in their behavior, you can easily let some people go between you. You aren't always tipped to rude and selfish behavior, but if you are prone to really be bothered by it, you should accept more responsibility to be aware of it (like and allergy for example). If no signs were presented before everyone is loaded and your experience is ruined, you could probably ride again simply by asking.
A few people here have given stories of unruly teens being dismissed from attractions when their behavior has gotten out of hand, but if you feel that their actions have crossed a line, telling a CM will have a better long term effect that lashing out towards them. If someone needs comfort, comfort them.
I mean, how many times does something like this happen to you? In a weeks vacation, in the middle of the summer, you might encounter a couple groups that you have reservations about. Adding a few minutes to your wait for a little piece of mind might be worth it. If you've done al you feel you can do and still interact them, I'm sure the staff wt WDW will be willing to work with you.
How can you possibly think it is better for a child to be traumatized than to speak up? Taking this point to extremes, it would mean that one wouldn't interfere if one saw an adult attacking a child; one would just just trundle along and inform the police afterwards.
There are ways to stop a child from being traumatized without verbally responding to the group..thats the point. There are ways to comfort them, etc., but this is more than about one specific instance. It is more speaking in general on how to respond when guests are acting unruly. Are there instances when immediate interaction is the best course of action, sure...absolutely. More times than not, the "discipline" is best given from someone in a position of authority.
Reacting to someone in an aggressive manner (or even a defensive manner that can be taken as aggressive) should never be the advised first course of action.
You need to remember this thread started with a guests commenting that this type of behavior ruined their experience. That's where we started. It evolved into kids being traumatized, etc. Each situation is different and there are ALWAYS exceptions, but as adults setting examples for our kids, the kids we are with and just the kids in our presence, our actions speak just as loud or louder than our words alot of the times. Yes, the teens are setting a bad example and our job is to teach our kids that behavior is unacceptable. It's the job of the parents of the unruly teens to set a good example and teach them right from wrong is all I am saying.
If I am wrong, stop the next Disney security personal you see and ask what is their advice to you as a patron if a guest is being rude and annoying you.

What am I doing wrong?
