If something is a bad behavior, it's a bad behavior.<br /><br />Perhaps we cannot <b>expect</b> them to behave otherwise (the same way that we can hardly expect the chassidim of nowadays to behave as real chassidim), but we should surely urge them to do so and get as close to the ideal as possible.<br /><br />Now, what I do think should be encouraged amongst the teenagers (perhaps more than amongst people older) is competitiveness and assertiveness (bordering on aggressiveness). Not only will this trait allow them to develop (psychologically) into normal males, but it will also prepare them for life.Anarchist Chossidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129716759837282565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956851062928470828.post-15611850914348995552010-04-21T08:26:48.143-05:002010-04-21T08:26:48.143-05:00i thought you were complaining about someone who i...i thought you were complaining about someone who is older but just acting 15?Dowyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09021846859139669074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1956851062928470828.post-74344922558533201902010-04-21T00:14:46.523-05:002010-04-21T00:14:46.523-05:00In point of fact, fifteen year olds are typified b...In point of fact, fifteen year olds are typified by crudeness and a sense of infallibility.
