This explains things...
It has come to my attention that the big brains in this country have missed something that needs to be addressed. It is a disease that has swept our nation for decades, yet remains a mystery. It is so ignored that it does not even have a name, yet we deal with its symptoms in all public places and even in our own homes. I call it,
Teenage dementia.
From the ages of about twelve to whenever they grow out of it (And I have known some that are in their 40’s and still suffer from it), teenagers show many of the symptoms of dementia. Forgetfulness, hardness of hearing, inability to see trash or dirty dishes, delusions of being in a meaningful relationship, inability to choose appropriate clothing, and a reluctance to get out of bed, all lead me to believe that there is something wrong with the teenage mind.
Inappropriate public displays of affection periodically interrupted by irrational demonstrations of rage and frustration are other common symptoms of the disease.
All thoughts are focused on sex and appearance in both boys and girls, yet the boys can’t wear pants that don’t have diaper storage built in or know that the bill of a ‘gimmie’ cap is worn to the front, over the eyes, not to the side and not to the back. The girls seem to think that showing all the goods is the key to success and popularity, even if the goods are not there yet. (Have you seen those “Bratz” dolls? The first time I saw them I thought someone had marketed porn action figures.)
A certain lack of ability to focus on the task at hand makes teenagers open to suggestion, but only if that suggestion is from someone other than a responsible adult. If it comes from an adult, the suggestion is automatically rejected and erased from memory as never having occurred. (Syntax error. Delete! Delete! Delete!)
Teens seem to loose the ability to accept responsibility for actions, always blaming others (peer pressure) and circumstances. (“My dog passed when I was five years old and I have never been able to accept love.”) We have all heard the, ’But my dog ate my homework’, defense, a true classic, and a fine example of the delusional state of in the teen mind.
A teenagers social life takes on a life of it’s own and nothing will ever get in the way. I think that even a major earthquake would not stop my teen from IMing and text messaging. (At the same time. To the same person) If his ass were on fire, he would ask some digital friend to come put it out, while his mother and I fought the blaze.
This demonstrates monomania, yet we excuse it as, ‘Part of growing up.’
It is time for us to stop making excuses and deal with the problem head on; teens show signs of dementia and we should treat them as such. They have a disease, but it is treatable.
