Yea, I apologize to all those who had to deal with me during my teenage years. When I was ignorant, dramatic, nagging, manipulative, self serving, arrogant (even though I had no real life experience or reason to be so), selfish and didn't consider the feelings or point of views of others, thought I was always right no matter how irrational I was, couldn't let anything go, wasn't understanding... of anything outside my little world, wallowed in self pitty despite my problems being unmeasurable next to those of the rest of the world, holding myself in such high regard that everything everyone else did or said was taken personal, naive and thought I was being picked on when it came time to pay the consequences for my actions, and for my over inflated image of self (despite the fact that I shouldn't automatically expect respect based on what I've done in the past or how I was raised... no one will really know or care... little did I know, that what matters most is how one presents onself and treats others, decides the level of respect one receives... now I realize I should be wary of anyone who expects respect without first giving it)...
I write this as I've recently had a very small taste of this teenage attitude... Since I've been there and realize how stupid it is, I tend to not have much tolerance for any of it... I'm pretty sure if I ever have kids, I may look into leasing my kids out through their teenage years...
