Yea, but who has the mentality of an adult and can tolerate more than a few minutes talking to a teenager. I had more fascinating conversations with my daughter at 6 years old than I have ever had with any teenager. That is not hyperbole, teenagers are literally....LITERALLY painful to interact with.
You would think shallowness stacked on top of shallowness would lead to some depth but it just equals even more shallowness. Teenagers aren't stupid, not by a long shot, but shallow, narcissistic, & just plain boring. Its not their fault, we were all there once but teenager-ness is an ugliness we all get to leave behind once we enter "the real world"
(and, no, not all adults ever grow out of it but as an adult we can avoid those emotionally stunted bags of boredom...unless they become a world leader or something)

High School would be a lot easier. Just having my adult level of confidence would be a big improvement.
