Considering how the questionable validity of the peer review process has been exposed, perhaps studyfinds.org just needs to recruit Richard Dawson or Steve Harvey as moderator.

better than "experts-say.com" i spose.

as for the study itself, i wonder sometimes how much of it is the usual teen angst, just now its all captured and in public.

my day wasnt full of recording devices and it was quickly internalised after a "what the hell you babbling about" lecture from your parents.

Good point. Back when parents regularly administered "dope slaps," and the life coping advice of "Quit yer whining or I'll give you something to whine about!" micro-aggressions didn't exist, and first world problems weren't considered apocalyptic. Explains why 35 is now the new 16.

"Nobody asked me to the prom!" is as good a reason as any to become an SJW.

The ability to instantly broadcast any thought that pops into one's head to the entire world is an excellent indicator of Milton's observation that "The mind is a place in itself. It can make a heaven of hell, or a hell of heaven."

Amen. My peers, parents, and I, myself did a good enough job of inculcating a f**ked up ideology in me in a low tech world.

If I knew about ADHD, Dyslexia, Micro-Aggressions, racial/social/sexual/financial/environmental injustice, and the inherent unfairness of life, and if I knew there were legion of support groups out there for those addicted to self-loathing, Hell, I'd still be in my formative years.

Like a big lump of Play-Doh that everyone was trying to mold/sculpt and/or throw at the wall.

However, I do think there is still hope for you.... :) if only someone cared....... :(
