Prematurity in adolescence.

Teens have seen nothing, yet they think they have seen everything. What complicates matters is that the awareness, which usually appears in later years, arises at this age instead. If a 15-year-old body carries the brain of a 50-year-old, this person’s already fragile ties to the physical world are severed the moment they set foot in it. Because of their age, they also have no chance to speak out or to persistently oppose; thus, it is impossible for them to express themselves outwardly. Even if they were to express themselves, there are very few who could grasp it. A vast universe is crammed inside them, and this universe is, as it were, locked away from the outside, not with locks but with existential barriers. Yet their peers, in the midst of a smug inexperience, are rather content. Adolescents are wild and primitive animals roaming in groups, for that is the social rule. And with what they do, they boast, pushing away those who do not do as they do, so that the stage is left to the insane. After all, to blend in among the crowd of mad, one must be like them.
