Are 17-18 year old's "adolescents"?
Personally, I think the 16 year old me compared to the 18 year old me compared to the 20 year old me was a misanthropic lout lacking empathy, compared to now a slightly less misanthropic lout upset over the casual brutality people indulge in and the sheer stupid waste of things.
We grow, change. Nothing else is certain.
