I was thinking about the crazies I knew in highschool and wonder what became of them. Most of them had already hit the wall pretty hard back then, so it makes me curious. One stole his parent's credit card, took off up North, bought a couple of jet skis and partied for a bit. When he came back, he apparently covered himself in tar. I don't get it. Another one broke into a woman's house and proclaimed himself the Easter Bunny. Naturally some time in the mental hospital followed.

These were kids who were proclaimed to be genius in school. They had plenty of intellect potential, but something just wasn't firing quite right. I suppose massive amounts of acid and other mind altering substances might have something to do with it.

It's a bit unfortunate though that the things you find fun/funny as a teenager/young adult have the potential to turn you into a half-wit feeb with an altered personality and too many issues to list in later life.

I know some people who have what I can only term a mean streak. It seems they find their best fun in being rotten to others. Good natured teasing and a witty remark CAN be entertaining, but these people are more into the "shattering egos and demoralizing people" thing I think.

These days, very few people know how to wait for anything. ADD is obsolete in my mind because it's a common thing for almost anyone. I guess it comes from a society that has everything to offer and often little work is required. Everybody feels such a sense of entitlement. Soft parenting of the kind that says you MUST allow your children to do everything that crosses their mind so as not to stunt who they are might be partly to blame. Look at society. Is this who we are? Crap, there are a lot of well deserved ass whippings that are owed.
