By using the word 'teenager' in your reponse, you're simply employing an argumentation tactic referred to as reductio ad absurdum. This can only mean one of two things; you're either too emotional about the subject at hand or you're underestimating the role of envy in the formation of societies. I'll only address the reason that matters, which is the latter.
I'll refer you to an excerpt from 'Envy a theory of social behavior'.
'envy has played a large part in forming human society, and that, secondly, the role of envy often remains hidden'
Also
'socialism and democracy were put forward as ideas by members of society who were not able "to deal with their own envy"'
