A retired teacher once told me that the funniest thing about high schoolers is that they'll repeat something they read in an old book and act like they discovered something brand new.

Well it was a brand new discovery to them, and if they found value in it then it makes sense that they'd want to repeat it. But yeah, I guess I can see why that's "funny" coming from the perspective of an older person who may have forgotten what it's like to be a young, inexperienced kid capable of feeling fascination and wonder.

I remember being 15 and laughing at people my age who thought that "Catcher In The Rye" was written about them.

I mean it kinda was, wasn't it? If anyone can relate to teenage angst it's teenagers.
