Funny, though, I don't remember worrying too much about whether anyone took me seriously when I was younger. I don't know why; I guess maybe the people who mattered to me took me seriously enough.

Well I didn't worry about that either, but I observe behaviour of these young teenagers daily (I'm a teacher) and this has become a serious obsession.
It reminds me of the attitude Alex had in the
Clockwork Orange (the book) believing he has mastered the world already and is fully self sufficiant - this is what kids wish to achieve nowdays (lucky for us old geezers they aren't attacking us with chains all the time
).
