Kids who misbehave...

When I was in secondary school I found it very annoying how the other classmates misbehaved. I wondered why they did this and came to the conclusion they just didn't have the respect, self awareness or any comprehension of their actions or for the larger things in life - this was when I was around sixteen.

I ponder things often and enjoy philosophy as well as the meditative aspects of Buddhism.

Lately now I'm at the ripe old age of nineteen

I have been thinking more about our actions and the reasons we make them. I believe everything is predictable. As in if you had a computer that was fast enough and you could enter everything that has ever happened and existed then it could return you information on anything that will happen in the future.

So to summarize the reason I think this is because the actions we take are based on these things.

- What we know.
- Our configuration (what makes us unique and the way we think).

That is all!

What we know is dictated by the people who already exist around us when we are born. eg. what they tell us, show us, give etc. Then we make up our mind what to believe based on how we think which is determined my the DNA of your parents. Your parents meet due to the things in their life and their way of making sense of the world.

So you could also say you are the product of all your parents, grand parents, great grand parents etc.

The reason kids misbehave is obviously none of their doing however there must still be positive/negative gusts from the people who can offer it to get their ship sailing in the correct direction! However this will only happen if the people who are needed end up in that situation... and it goes on...

Now I bet you didn't think you would be reading this!? I didn't think you would get this far either!

So what do you think and I'm interested in how this comes across to you?

Like a load of tripe. People need personal accountability.

I don't disagree with you, people need to be taught to a more fundamental level however. Also people have a lot more going on mentally than you may think.

Nope.

Lets at least have some kind of intelligent retort?

Theres a lot of scientists who agree with you, and that so called free will is made up and everything is pre determined, not by some all powerful being but just by physics. If you could model every energy level in the universe then you could model the future, but you could never do that.

Yes I have come to the conclusion it's true. For me what ever will happen will happen! It will be quite interesting to see how the equation of life unravels!

It wasn't my choice. The world determined that I was going to type "Nope." and obviously I couldn't resist that pre-determined outcome.

It's true though, right?

You're 19 years old. Come back when you don't think you have an unique view on the world with insights that have escaped every single person who has gone before you.

The thing is if I truly believe my own theory I can't be annoyed with that comment!

Indeed, this is a discussion with your mates while you pass a bong around.

Same with you!

The world isn't deterministic. Particle interactions aren't, so nothing built upon them can be either. The world probably is stochastically tractable, in that the most likely thing to happen next should be calculable, but not with complete certainty. /physics

That's not obvious. If anything the opposite is obvious. The behaviour of the kid is the behaviour of the kid - it can't obviously not be the behaviour of the kid.

Blame does not lie elsewhere when one is being a ****. Not for adults, not for kids. Responsibility lies with the person who is acting.

Read the quote it says 'the reason'.

Some people get it and some don't - I think due to their lack of sight.

3. It was fun

So what I learnt was its ok to muck about and have a good time, as long you still get the job done.

Why did you find it easy and why did you think you could misbehave because the others were? You can't stop at one generation of answers.

BTW, I've never even seen weed in real life I think. I'll love to see what you do with that!
