See.. I think that's where I am different, then.
I would never, nor will I ever, say to a young person "that's stupid", or "how dumb!" or "you idiot". There's psychobable behind that, but we're digressing from the topic.
What the hell, I'll digress some more
I have neices and nephews in that age range (JUST teen - 18). At no point would I say any duragatory comment to them regarding a thought or a feeling that they are expressing. There is a difference between the adult mind and one of a child. They process things differently, they are impressionable.
Now, I know that we can't parent other people's kids, I'm not stupid. We can't censor, nor would we want to.
I'm just saying, be thoughtful. No need to be a selfish son of a bitch and not consider the impact of what you say to whom.
It's called being an adult.
