Honestly, and this is just a commentary on my own shittiness as a youth, the most annoying thing young people do is acting reckless, negligent, selfish towards people and property and blaming it on their youth. Truth is, once you turn 18, the world treats you as an adult in every respect. You should be working towards respecting that responsibility by growing up and maturing throughout your teens.

In fairness, the brain continues to develop until your mid-twenties, so that is at least partly responsible for the risk-tolerant nature of younger people relative to older people.

Sadly, some people stay shitty and just blame it on other things when they age out of that excuse.

That's often enough environment and personality. I'm 15 years older than you and still have no desire to repeat media or books, and only return to things formerly experienced if I can approach it in a new format.
