He had a tendency to be immediately dismissive, impatient, and often outright insulting to other cultures and non-Federation types. The kid needed some humility, and often showed his age and closed-mindedness when he shut out ideas that didn't come from his superiors.

That's called "being a teenager" and having a character which the others can offer corrective criticism that is also a message to the younger viewers by proxy

Oh, no, I get that, I'm just saying those things make him annoying. It gives lots of opportunity for character development, but he's still annoying until he develops.
