the same difference...

Being with teenagers is actually quite fun. But trying to understand them is not. Being a teenager is not easy, so maybe I shouldn't complain as much. But yea, I will, otherwise there's nothing interesting else to write.

All kids want to be to the same while they want to be different. All kids want to be different while they want to be the same. It's the same difference.

All teenagers want to be accepted. Nobody wants to be left out. And kids will do and endure many stupid things to be accepted. I did some when I was younger, but nothing really as extreme as what I see now. Well, there is actually nothing wrong with wanting to be accepted. being accepted is a good thing.

But other than being accepted. Everyone wants to be different. Well, maybe different is not too accurate. Kids all want to be special enough to be individual. No one likes it when someone shadows them everywhere. They want to be the first to do something and keep the activity to a few people. When too many people start doing it, it just gets lame and people stop doing it.

In the movie the Incredibles, the mother tells Dash, the son, that everyone is special. Dash replies that it's the same as saying that nobody is special. While it is true, I think most kids rather not be special and just be accepted. It's the same difference. Being accepted is just as important as being the one that is different, to be the one that speaks out and points out. To be the one that starts the revolution and getting your clique follow you and doing the same thing.

After being through LDC2 this weekend, it just reinforces this. All kids want to be to the same while they want to be different. All kids want to be different while they want to be the same.

It's the same difference.
