This doesn't seem like a "terrible" TSA experience at all? I know everyone loves to hate the TSA/Government, but this seems like a relatively normal procedure, especially for a 16 year old traveling with a 19 year old.

According to his description of events, the first TSA officer did nothing wrong but check his note and then send him through to make sure everything checked out. I know the OP might be insulted (because he's 16, he doesn't need a note), but that doesn't mean it's a terrible TSA experience when someone asks.

I'm all for hating the TSA, but I would not call this terribly by any stretch of the word, it's about as far from terrible as one could get.

The TSA agent was incredibly rude and didn't seem to want to listen to any part of my explanation, he could see I had a note from my mum saying I would be visiting with my friend so I don't see why I would have to be detained for a while.

Terrible was more of a personal opinion because I've never experienced airport security like this in my life, I've been asked when I arrive who I'm meeting etc but not detained or anything.
