You know I've been thinking a lot about myself lately and why I am the way I am!

-Is it normal to know as much as I do at the age of 15?
-I know I'm not normal but it's starting to bother me...why is my mind growing faster then my age?

-Another thing that hit me, was my whole generation and how everyone is saying where all growing too freakin' fast.
I'm beginning to believe we really are.

-There is no generation before us that has grown up with all the things we have. I mean look at how all the bad habits start at a young age like...drugs, drinking, multiple sex partners, and being in a state of sloth.
-Not just the negative but also the positive like knowlegde that can be found by one click of a button.

-Why are WE growing up so fast (why me)? Could it be Accelerated Karma? Is it a sign for the future?

What you say is possible, StarLover, but I would warn against thinking that we are the cutting edge of the future and that after us, everything will be different. At the moment, young people seem fragmented with all the things you mentioned; either we'll shape up sometime around college, or we'll have a bunch of potheads running around.
Like you,I'm not very social-more serious, etc. I think it's a sign of future success.

When there are advancements in a positive direction, there is potential for equal negativity (reverse polarity).

Randall, I can see a lot of negativity in young people already, but there's a lot of potential,too We're still...YOUNG,that's the keyword!!! We have time to become anything we want to and do anything we can imagine. No-one knows where we're going. Anything is possible.

What one can achieve is only limited by what one can imagine...

I guess people are just using their BRAINS more.
