TEENS

I READ IN SCIENCE MAG CALLED MIND ABOUT TEENS AND WHY THEY ARE NEVER QUITE SURE OF THEMSELVES, THERE IS A PART OF THE BRAIN THAT IS IN PROCESS OF MATURING THAT HASNT GOTTEN THERE YET, AND TEENS KINDA DEPEND ON OTHERS TO DEFINE THEM AND SORT THRU THE DEFINITIONS UNTIL THYE FIND A SPOT THAT MATCHES THEIR IDEAS AND BY THE TIME THEY REACH 20'S THEY HAVE A DEFINITION BUT ITS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT THEY HAVE A PLACE NOW AND CAN WORK FROM THERE. THE BELIEF SYSTEMS INCULCATED BY THE OUTSIDE WORLD BEGIN TO BE EXMINED BY THE CRITICAL INFO THEY HAVE GATHERED AT THIS TIME AND WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR OWN BELIEF SYSTEM. AND THATS SPOSED TO SPLAIN WHY TEENS ARE SO CONFUSED.
I FRANKLY THINK THEY ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS AT ALL TIMES AND AS SOON AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE, THEY WILL START TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS AND NOT DEPEND ON THE PACK FOR ITS IDEAS. TEENS IN A GROUP BECOEM A PACK TRYIGN TO THINK AND ACT ALIKE IN MOST WAYS DRESSING, SEX, SHARING IDEAS ETC.

Teresa, what if you were like me with NO friends, NO pack, etc. All I had for social interaction was the dictionary, encyclopedia, and the Bible. It SUCKED enough for me to consider suicide every minute of every day for years. I would NEVER go back and relive it, I would rather die.

I HATED all people. I despised people with friends, I despised my family, I despised the human race for the rape of my soul and dignity from 1st grade through 12th. I could NEVER, EVER, treat people the way I was treated. Now I am VERY careful who I let past my wall.
