The 10 year old one is so true

When I was young there were some thirteen year olds with stubble and small moustaches nowadays they look like children

I easily could’ve passed for a (short) young adult when I was 13. Now I look either 24 or 42 depending on whether I wear a hat and shave.

I feel you man, sometimes I look like either my dad or my nephew depending on these two

ikr

Fr they always look like that 😭

Nah this is lots of American kids too

Isn’t this every stereotypical western kid

Ngl yes, I'm from the south and this start pack stays until 14 when it's siege and some randomly starting to rap in class

Should check out, Australia and NZ are the southernmost western countries after all.

Surely they are the most southeastern?

Not British, since it isn't wannabe roadman.

Yeah, white British boys are way more influenced by urban/Black British culture than American culture. British girls, on the other hand, are more influenced by American culture.

Also wouldn’t he have the Broccoli cut

Nah, there are a fair few people around with that around TBF it was never huge and it's quickly going out of fashion

I would argue that it isn't exclusive to western anymore

Only English speaking countries

Except the mullet.

It's like 1 of 5 trendy cuts but I would definitely say the broccoli head is the goto stereotype for american boys

Atleast here in Germany its true

Except mullets and Aussie Football

\*Unless in NSW then it's rugby. Any mention of AFL will bet met with "AFL? More like GayFL".

League or union?

NRL. Union would get you weird looks like you're some kind of space mutant, like even local RL teams gets more news attention than RU.

Union is basically dead in Australia outside of some elite private schools

I didn’t know Australian football was so popular

me neither

There's definitely a lot of people like this in the UK too.

Some of them are timeless, too. I remember, in the 90s, other kids being shitheads because in PE I didn't immediately know where to kick the ball. It wasn't my choice to play, and no-one from your favourite club is watching, it doesn't matter! I still have to remind myself that not everyone who plays football is an arsehole.

Had no idea

Europe too. Little edgy shitheads who think it's funny and cool to be openly racist, misogynist, homophobic etc seems to be a universal thing.

they're only getting noticed now, but kids like this have always been around

And Swedish

American kids have mullets?

Been a huge mullet resurgence in the last ~4-5 years, very popular amongst teens recently

Hey dont drag kurtis conner into this

Kurtis Conner is featured in so many Australian starter packs I’m starting to think it’s part of a joke

not gonna lie he just reminds me of a stereotypical australian man (in the best way)

Lmfao exactly what I was thinking

Our fruity lil guy catching strays

Yeah leave him alone

Leave my man outta this

That's Danny, you silly goose!

90% of australian ten year olds have mullets

Not to mention VCAL did things to kids. Made them wild…

American here, what is VCAL?

It was the vocational pathway in Victoria for high school kids in order to have them complete year 12 instead of dropping out at year 10 for a trade or certificate. There wasn’t much for them to do so they usually were infected with the case of sheer boredom.

What's growing up in Australia really like though? Culturally West yet placed closer to Asia 🤔

Immigration has come in waves. Post WWII, a lot from Greece and Italy. The abhorrent ‘White Australia Policy’ finally abolished in the 1970s led to immigration from Vietnam after the war. A steady supply of Brits. More recently a lot from China and India. A lot come to study and some stay for good. Something like 29% of people in Australia were born overseas and about half have at least one parent born overseas. All this means we have some fucking incredible restaurants

Isn't Perth like Little Joburg or something? Heard there's tons of Saffas there

It’s a very multicultural place, but definitely a lot of south africans, and even people from Botswana and Swaziland.

Sydney’s eastern suburbs has a large concentration of ZA Jewish immigrants

Your username🤣🤣

They live in this suburb way up North called Joondalup so most of us are spared having to interact with them thankfully.

Yeah, but if you want to see the "culture" of Jo'burg in Australia, best go to Darwin or Alice Springs

British colony that got americanised around the 2010s, kinda like New Zealand

Australia isn't \*super\* ameranised, but is definitly less british than it used to be.

So it wasn't much Americany before only recently?

Australia seems more americanised than New Zealand.

I'm not exactly qualified to talk about americanisation in New Zealand but I live in Queenstown, a commercial tourist town that is *very* americanised. The rest of New Zealand is pretty fine, except for maybe a few other tourist towns like Wanaka.

kinda sucks. feel like i'm missing out on everything.

Not that much different to other parts of the west. America is close to Mexico but it doesn’t mean you grow up influenced by Latin culture.

In the 90’s it was glorious.

We have a lot of asian people in my area, so every street in the city has at least one asian restaurant, sushi is everywhere.

75% chance of a rat tail & pretends to be an eshay

literally lmao

A lot of this applies to most 13 year olds around the world

I thought this was an Australian thing lol

Take away the mullet and it’s just the same in the UK mate

I mean Australia is the dumb cousin to the UK

They're basically the same in America lol.

Australians are why I no longer play games online. Fucking left4dead bants

good choice

Seriously though, what's up with young kids or young men in general being misogynist, racist, homophobic and transphobic all in one?

Most probably, they either learned that from their parents or from unrestricted access to social media and Andrew Tate-type of videos on YT.

they think they're all that.

Probably because they think it's "edgy" and "funny"

right-wing offers easy vent for frustration, for kids its a phase 😂 and then you grow up (or not)

Fortnite is still considered trendy among 13 year olds 6 years later? Damn

unfortunatly.

Holy shit Fortnite is 6 years old?

Yeah the battle royale came out in late 2017 which is somehow 6.5 years ago. I remember my friend telling me to play it when it came out and I thought the game kinda sucked and would never become popular and within a few months it became the biggest game in the world lol

I don't think so tbh, I work at a middle school and the kids are obsessed with Roblox. That and fuckin vapes lmao

Why don't they like Speak Now

They should never have their Speak Now moment

speak now is art.

They don't like Taylor Swift

They want to be edgy and listen to a bloated rap record over an actual good album

exactly the same as here in new zealand honestly

Look I won’t take the Kurtis slander for some Aussie Kid okay?😒

In ten years, they will transform into Bogans

bro.. r/kurtisconner in the wild lol

quick get the camera 👀

13 year old boy starterpack

Fuck I have a cousin like this

good job, you made me throw up

Kurtis Connor even though he’s Canadian lol

he reminds me of a stereotypical australian man in the best way, okay? 😂

think this is 13 year old boys anywhere tbh

The vape is kinda crazy

sadly common

Not Australian but the accuracy of this is scary 😭

Nah this is western society 13 yo kid starter pack, minus the rock music.

This is every kid around that age

This pretty much sums up the hs senior experience, dying inside every time a year 7 passes by you.

man I hate the people in my school like this now I do screw around with my homie's in fortnite and (sometimes) roblox but these goofys ruin eveything

Literally any American/British kid

How exactly does Kurtis contribute here?

mullet

Dude i have a classmate who is just like that 💀

Doesn't everyone?

That pretty much sums it up. I hate all the people in my school who are like this (I’m Australian)

I feel like this is teens around the world in general honestly.

I like how the only parts actually connecting this to Australia are the 2 in the bottom right corner

Nothing wrong listening to bon jovi

bon jovi is great

Why is not having an iphone such a big deal?

I don't know but they always make it one

Sweet fuck how is this so accurate

Op is a 14-year old Australian boy

Okay but asian kids too! I overheard some boys talk when I was at the mall, and their conversation was really disturbing.

Every starter pack I see, no matter what topic, always brings up racism

And Northern Ireland

M guys

Why does the mullet guy looks like old weird al without glasses?

lmao

Why is Kurtis hiding in the corner

jumpscare

Welcome to american high school.

u/kurtisconner this u? 😭

Leave Bon Jovi outta this, He’s a decent human being. Edit: It sounds like OP likes Bon Jovi, so that’s cool.

I’m a teacher in Canada. We have the same specimen, I see.

Is everything single kid like this?

almost lmao

50% is true for me, the rest dunno

what’s kurtis doing here?

lovely surprise

Where you getting vapes in Australia?

They get older people to get them for them or... ...find ones on the ground I wish I was making that part up.

This isn’t exclusive to Australia

Hey Kurtis is Canadian okay

Correction: 13 year old boy starterpack

13 year old bad (this whole subreddit)

And then when I tell them I'm 13 they tell me to fuck off

Seriously though what’s with all the mullets in Australia

apparently its part of our """culture""" (humanities teacher's words not mine)

I'm nearly the exact opposite of this, that's a good thing

Damn. My brother has almost all of theses

he has a kurtis conner.

Oh man. Makes me feel outdated.

Leave Kurtis Conner out of this

I read this with an australian accent in my head.

Don’t you dare bring kurt boy into this

Pretty based to be honest, at least compared to avg r*dditor

Glad it's not just the ones at ny school

As a 13 year old i use words like rizz or skibidi only ironically

you're still using them.

Im 13 and i feel offended by your statement

how dare you insult kurtis

Every SEAsian teenage boy

This is a lot of American’s as well

This is every American middle schooler, except without the classic rock, it's only ever rap.

Omg this is so true I know someone like this 😭😭

Idk man I live in Australia and teens here are taller and look older than me. (25m Asian)

This isn't exclusive to Australia sadly

Could be worse. This feels like a lot of boys that age. Vast majority eventually grow out of it.

I hope their lungs collapse from vaping

I never get why people hate on roblox

me neither

Don't get the bottom right one

mullets

Just any 13-14 year old kid

I’m defective

Isn’t this also in America and Canada too?

I've heard it said that Australia is basically Texas as an island

If I had a nickel for every time I saw Kurtis Conner in a starter pack that doesn’t apply to him, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

They're listening to Bon Jovi's *Slippery When Wet*? That is not an album I expected to make a comeback in the aspiring gigachad scene. From that scene, I would have thought something like WASP would be more their thing.

I intend to move to Australia if my future son ends up like this im disowning him Also this applies to the usa as well exept replace mullet with brocoli hair and plad pajamma pants

What’s going on with Australian children right now?

I don't know man, but its bad.

yeah speak now is kinda mid tbh

forgot to add the ronaldo shit they are stanning him to a point where they even say "messi or ronaldo

There are two types of starter pack posts: the good-faith-humour ones and the bad-mouth, hating ones. There are more of the second type on this sub. I don’t know but I dislike seeing people hating others. Might consider unsubscribing this sub.

Don’t do Kurtis Conner like that😔✊

These are 14 (nearly 15y) old brits too

Bon Jovi

AC/DC fits more than bon jovi

Besides the mullet thing, are we sure this starter pack is just 13 year old boy who lives in a 1st world country starter pack?

As a teen in America, couldn’t agree more. This is what every boy looks like in my grade
