Teenagers: selfish and narcissistic beings?
If so, why just teenagers?
Yes, they're becoming independent. And the brain is doing some neuron thingy (recent nytimes article) and this means that their mind is opening up and grasping all sorts of new things, and identifying relationships, and such a great amount of "real" (applicable, and usually factoid) knowledge is being generated that it brings on a sense of power, and even invincibility. Yes, hormones are running, raging, rushing, and generally being and rumbunctious as ever.
But, why just teenagers? Why that specific demographic? Is this something one grows into and out of? The narcissism, the over-whelming self-belief, the invincibility? Is is just a mis-communication between one generation that is coming of age, and the others that are there already?

Okayyyy! Let's Ramble!
- Mum has succesfully developed and honed her speicla abilty to WAKE up GRUMPY! Its definitely an amazing, devastating spectacle to observe
- Lapel-less Jackets: Those frumpy, badly cut, jagged, flat, ugly lapel-less jackets that Trinidadian professional women seem to adore are positively the worst visual attack my eyes have ever been subject to! They're already ugly and badly-cut etc, but formless too?! WHY??
- Inhaling four doubles in less that 3 minutes is not advisable.
- The sun is beautiful; yet i am inside. Why do we take for granted what tourists pay good money for?
- I need some fresh fruit.
- Macobook has its uses; it all depends on the skills of the user.
- BLOGS ARE THE BEST! Not mine, obviously, but The Pioneer Woman, Things I've found in Pockets, Wiping up Snot and White on Rice are beautiful.
- Is it me? Should I go grumping around too? I tried to present my "individuality" concept to some fellas this week, but they said I was just being annoying.
- Am I alone? Is loneliness a problem?
- My daydreams have become much more vivid and seem to have one main point. I'm trying as hard as i can to ignore the message my sub-concious is sending me.
