I don't know if this is merely immaturity, or sheer vapidness.

- lotsofpulp 4y agoI am under the impression teens should be expected to be immature and vapid…because they are teens.
- daneel_w 4y agoIt's immaturity, if you will. Wanting to set oneself aside as a bit better than others, and the harsh group mechanics of building constellations with a select few through exclusions of others, is a social behavior of growing up. Almost every kid and teenager will partake in it or at the least experience it. I don't know child psychology, but if I were to guess it's a manifestation of "survival of the fittest".
