I have a sister who is 16 currently, and my other sister was that age two years ago. I know for a fact that they are absolutely capable of deep thought and definitely able to do significant things. However, they are not usually capable of extending such thought for long enough to consider various possible conclusions. Judging from them, their friends and of course my own experience from when I was 16, I believe that most teens that age have that problem. At that time I knew that I didn't know the truth about the world - but I thought I was pretty close.

I also remember that at 16, insults are really insults. So all you guys who're older, if you think you're mature, give these kids a break. They already know plenty to make interesting conversation (in my opinion), but they're probably still quite naive (some of us, including me, aren't yet so unlike them). What selfrespecting adult will take joy from insulting a kid? (well, the insulting part is fun, granted, but its just too unfair)

>>158, a little defense for Pms, her last posts were good contributions. She listens to reason and knows when not to be offended. (maybe don't look at 161)
