So he's a teenager?

  I was a teenager, I did no such thing. That's borderline depressing, given how much bullshit he is spewing out. He comes from money, and give talks about shutting down and how they will lose money.

    We were all teenagers once and we all had different experiences. I'm sure we all did things when we were young that we now find mortally embarrassing. Unlike most of our embarrassing moments, D'Aloisio's happens to have been written up in a Gizmodo article.

  That is not "teenage" behavior. That is sociopathy. He outright lied to this reporter, then berated him with dozens of emails. Regular people, "teenagers" included, do not behave that way. (I, as someone who is comparable in age to D'Aloisio, would never try this kind of shit, especially to someone affiliated with a major news organization; nor can I think of any of my peers who would. I honestly don't understand why people have such outrageous notions about how young people act, and have such permissive views about they ought to act. It doesn't matter how old he is, this sort of behavior is absurd.)

    It's certainly not sociopathy. I can think of a number of reasons why he might have behaved that way and I've seen similar behavior from similar people in similar circumstances. Your level of maturity is an asset which not everyone has at your age. The reason people are more permissive of poor behavior from young people is that they are still learning the ways of the world. Hopefully D'Aloisio learnt from this experience.
