The Crimson Room (a.k.a Teenage Wasteland)

ADD? I never had real ADD. I tend to blame that on my personality's numbness. Sometimes I just don't want to listen to anyone and dive in my private world.

Good musical technique too. I can't imagine a single moment when any kind of music or hum doesn't go through my head. Sometimes, I can get lost in music, I forgot about anything else.

Papa Jody, honorary CR member.

Adolescents after all need a firm adult hand.

When a member turns 26, he or she can no longer post in the thread, but who cares, you're essentially dead anyway. Posting here is just one of many symbols of your fading existence. As the GR attempted to answer questions plaguing the nearly dead, so shall we focus on the issues of youth. Can life get any better? How great is it

I am member 27 and i insist.

It's the youth equivalent of "women's problems"   First serious iscussion. Do we have it easier now than older members had it when they were kids. I say overall no. Technology makes things faster, but there is WAY more pressure on us for academic, athletic, financial, etc. success and teen suiceds are much higher than they were only a few decades ago.

agreed completely. and isn't it ironic how parents often ramble about 'kids these days get everything easily, etc. blah blah and so on...'

i'd say that live now is far more pressured(thus harder) than our old man times

^Well, maybe next time you won't accept candy from strangers

I believe it is a plaec for people to act like rock stars. For example, someone will "pen" a concept album and allow no input from anyone else or quit due to a drinking problem only to rejoin a day later. It's a little silly.

No. technology has made it so we can get info anywhere in the world in seconds. We no longer have to wait for everything, so we can't wait for anything.

that's a good point actually, although i don't think that's exactly my case. i don't really know how to explain it though
