whew.
The Title of this thread had me thinking it was about kiddy porn, or Jail Bait.

I think we all remember our adolescence with fondness. (unless you had a crappy, abusive upbringing)
We didn't have to work or pay bills.
Its a time of extreme insecurity, selfishness, and exploration.

High school is like the best years.
You're young, you don't think about mortality.
All the experiences are so new and vivid.
The first time you got laid, drunk, or stoned. The crush you had on that girl. The desire to be popular.

Tons of psychological research has been done on this.
By the time you're 21 or so, your personality is pretty much set.
