Teenagers were superficial back then, and they are still superficial now. Sorry!
Ya think I don't know all their social tricks?
Every time their idols committed suicide (and that happened a lot, I wonder if it has anything to do with a culture that promotes idealizing people which then makes them lose sense of self which then makes them prone to develop personality disorders?), they screamed injustice and told everyone to respect the importance of mental health.
I thought then, if they learned one single fact every time things concerned them, in just a few years, they might be able to cure their friends' depression!
Of course they never did and probably never will.
Those same people are now think they are above everyone else on morality. The more rigid the rules, the better they are as humans!
They don't know that's exactly the sign of how they should not be trusted. For they operate themselves on moralizing defense. It's a defense. That means they use it to shield themselves from whatever they are feeling, and it has very little to do with what they actually learned from past experiences or what they plan to do for the future. Once they are done lecturing someone, the feeling is already over. So I guess there is nothing needed to be improved here!
That's why they both, are annoying, and never get better!
