I understnad teens are discovering new worlds and that their brain scans are more akin to schizophrenics than to normal adults...Im just curious at the fact that they never seem to give those who have gone before any credit for having tryed and discarded a lot of things...My son for example is 11 and already he seems to think he knows more about life, the universe and everything than either his mother or myself. He doesnt seem to be a stupid kid..he gets good grades but he really seems to believe that in getting to the age of 40, that I have never thought of any of these things he is bringing up.

I just find it curious..and you know I just thought of something..maybe this isnt a teen vs adult thing...maybe its just son vs dad thing..hmmm need to look at that..........

Aha, I see where you're coming from now!

My aunt used to have a sign on her refrigerator that said: TEENS! Now is the time to MOVE OUT, GET A JOB, GET MARRIED, BECOME PRESIDENT, and SAVE THE WORLD ...

WHILE YOU STILL KNOW EVERYTHING!!
