And adults are violent, selfish, egocentric, cruel and TERRIBLE.
Any college proffessor ever teach you how to pull off those traits while
maintaining the naivette/idealism that allows you to get away with it and
people still calling you adorable? I doubt it.
The only thing better about adults is they aren't sticky 24 hours a day! :)

I'm not sure I get your point(s). Unless you're planning on committing suicide
before you reach this undesignated age you've assigned when you'll be one of
"them," where is all this vitriol coming from? Age humbles everyone. Your mission
in life, should you choose to accept it, is to live as long as you can without
sacrificing your youth. Standing on the threshold of maturity spitting gets you
nowhere, really, and is quite irritating to those of us who aren't particularly
satisfied with the solutions suicide offers nor the incessant whining and temper
tantrum throwing of those languishing in solipsistic, nihilistic ennui. Or to
quote Public Image Ltd: "terminal boredom."
