children (anyone under19-20) make all their decisions through the emotional cortex of their brain. This has been researched and verified repeatedly.
It is not until age 20-21 for men, and earlier for women, that the logical, rational decision making part of the human brain is at the forefront.
as you younger folk get older you will notice this occurring. you will wonder why you made such stupid impulsive decisions as a youngster and you will realize it was becauise you were not thinking your decisions through, instead you were basing your decisions upon the emotional subtext of the decisions
that old 70's cliche, which is actually a childish statement
If It FeelS Good Do It
and vice versa
if it does nto feel god, do not do it
an adult will do things when they do not feel good because they ahve to be done, and will NOT do some things that do feel good because his rational brain will help him understand that it is a bad choice.
a 13 year old kid, especially one who "feels" he has nothing but his music (I was there too man) and very few friends (I was also there too) can have his heart/emotions crushed because of something like incessant bulying and derision heaped at his music.
I feel bad for the kid and his family, and I hope anyone that made fun of him feels pangs of guilt so bad that their lives become wasted wrecks and they commit suicide sometime around age 53 after a life of failure and misery.
