They're actual teens, or they just play one in the movies.  Either way, your kids are obsessed with them.  And that makes you die a little inside.  Here are 5 teen stars that you can't stand, but your kids love.

1. Vanessa Hudgens

Why Kids Love Her:

She's cute, spunky, and cool enough to snag super-hottie Zac Efron as her boyfriend. 



Why You Hate Her:

Her nude pics keep showing up all over the Internet, turning kids koo-koo bananas.  Case in point (NSFW language):

2. The Jonas Brothers

Why Kids Love Them:

OMG, Joe is so totally the cutest!  NO WAY, Nick is the hottie!  Uh-uh, Kevin is totes HOTT!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!  WE LOVE YOU JONAS BROTHERS!



Why You Hate Them:

This is what passes for cute these days?  Seriously?  Come on: Weird hair + Unruly eyebrows + Purity Rings = Creepy in Our Book. 

3. Demi Lovato

Why Kids Love Her:

She sings songs dripping with pathos (teenage life is so hard, y'all!).  And she's a real, down-to-earth girl!  She's even got her own Youtube channel with her best friend, fellow Disney star Selena Gomez!  They giggle and talk about clothes and friends and Jesus.  Awesome.



Why You Hate Her:

Hate is kind of a strong word for Ms. Lovato.  But it's pretty hard to support a young celeb who obviously can't handle the stresses of being in the limelight (see: cutting herself).  Makes you wonder where the parents are.

4. Robert Pattinson

Why Kids Love Him:

He's sensitive and dreamy, totally the kind of guy to have as a boyfriend... uh, if he wasn't undead.


Why You Hate Him:

Ugh, this guy is so full of himself, smoothing back his hair and squinting like he's James Dean of the vampyres.  Newsflash, you're not as hot as you think you are Mr. Twilight.  Here's a hint: Pantene.   Do with that what you will.

5. Miley Cyrus

Why Kids Love Her:

She's rebellious in a completely safe way.  She sings meaningful songs about climbing stuff.  And her dad was like, some famous country singer back in the 90s. 



Why You Hate Her:

She makes more money in 10 minutes than we do in a year... And seriously, "The Climb?"  We're supposed to believe that this privileged 16-year-old overcame some tremendous adversity?  What, did she have a pimple during a photoshoot or something?  Excuse us while we go cry.
