      I’m mostly joking. Generally the kids impress me and there’s stuff my peers and I did that I’m frankly shocked we survived, not all of us came through intact. Shit I’m on lemmy, I’ve probably got some screws loose.

      But I do think teen years are a good time of life to test some boundaries and break some rules. If you’re not hurting other people even a bit of destructive mischief is ok imho, you gotta learn how to disobey and why sometimes you shouldn’t.

        I fully agree. Teenage years are a perfect time to learn consequences and do the shady shit you look back on fondly.

        There are limits of course, but we try them differently for a reason.
