Like I see an 18 year doing something stupid, and I know it’s stupid because I did the same thing.
It’s weird becaude I never identified with any of this. I never did anything wild and crazy in my teens and so I’ve never understood when people excuse wild and self destructive behavior as “they are just teens and they’ll learn”.
I don’t mean to say that I’ve always been more mature than my peers (my humor is very crude and immature)…just that I have never understood being impulsive and reckless, even as a teen.
It’s very common for teens to be impulsive and reckless because they’re basically biologically programmed to be so. It’s not something they can control, really, it’s something they’re experiencing. If you didn’t go through that, it’s all good, probably safer frankly, but it’s not like people are aberrant for being reckless while maturing.
I didn’t say that it doesn’t happen to people. I’m just saying I never understood it because I never experienced that and can’t comprehend the mindset. I know I’m not the only person on the planet with the same experience either.
