Anyone over the age of 30 can tell you that teenagers are not much more capable of rationality than prepubescent children. In some cases, they are even less capable. Teen years are an insane ride. When you're in them you feel so adult. In retrospect, you see that teen you was dumb as shit and did not have a clue about pretty much anything.
