I really don't mean to beat this down into the ground, but I too think there is a lot of good advice here.
DemonGT, I hope you don't think we're all in a grand conspiracy against you. Most of us here at MW are not too far from your age (whether a little older or younger) and we're just trying to lend out some good advice (from our personal experiences-- not just heresay or conjecture) to a fellow Mustanger -- that's one of the main reasons this msgboard is here.
It just really ******* annoys me though when the 'younger' crowd insists on having a bad, MTV-dictated, rebellious, know-it-all attitude.
Yeah, and they're getting younger and younger. Really pisses me off (not pissed at you though).
Like it's been mentioned b4, many are gonna just have to learn the hard way that they don't know everything and just maybe the parents actually DO know what the heck they are talking about (at least 95% of the time).
The thing that sucks even more though is that as these teens grow with their rebellious attitudes they soon become parents

. Then their stupid influence has more bearing...it all snowballs from there.
Makes me think about the direction this world is going....
