Kids aren't as stupid as you think!

[notld224]

THIS is probably THE BEST article on adolescence ever written. No, it's not some moral
or 'take more resposibility for teens behavior'.

It's quite the opposite, Adolescence is an artificial extension of youth. THe current system is broken....

Yes they are.

I mean, look at you. 'nuff said.

and children aren't stupid, they're ignorant, which is worse. Stupid means lacking mental acuity. Ignorant means lacking knowlege. "Fools boldly go where wise men fear to tread" as the old saying goes.

Rolls eyes at the predictable response (rolls).
Hell, if you mean its my avatar, profile or whatever. Then blame teen culture, a manifestation of what the article is ADVOCATING AGAINST!.

Besides, adults have plenty of idiot culture too..... and it's not like THEY do much better...

Want me to take the pessemistic 'life sucks' view? so we're even and I don't totally shatter your argument?. Fine.

We're all wretched idiots bound to whatever is beyond the gates of death. Life is pointless in an ultimatum, yet has a point at the same time. Yipeee... yay, kai'ay, live with it. ---___---

If this thread had started better, I believe it actualyl could have become a very interesting discussion dealing with central issues within our society. It's disappointing to see how laziness and general idiocy can ruin the conversation before it even starts. Cmon, guys, isn't the entire point of this topic supposed to be mature capabilities in adolescents?

since it didn't would a "knowledge of fifteen year olds" be approriate?

Ever heard the phrase "exception to the rule?"

Or perhaps, "exception that proves the rule?"

Yes, and they're demonstrating it in practice. Don't blame them if you don't like the truth.
