Here's the deal: once kids reach their teenage years, the mystique of trying to be cool and wondering what the rest of the world thinks overtakes them, and it's a done deal.
I got to witness this transformation first-hand again on the weekend. We have our LAN party as an all-ages event. We obviously alow the nephews of the store owner where we play to join in.
One of his nephews, no more than 13, spent the entire night listening to horridly loud (even for me) classic rock, making a mess around his computer, and telling his mother to go wait in the car for a couple of hours because he didn't want to go home yet.
When his parents were gone, with the exception of the continuously-loud music, he was quite well-behaved. I just don't get this new crop of kids. It's one thing to be rebellious, but now they have to take it to a point where rebelling and being disrespectful is like BREATHING. It's disgusting.
