Stereotypes exist for a reason, they are convenient (and sometimes, highly accurate) generalizations. You are a prime example of another type of stereotype. In my experience (and I am somewhat older than you claim to be) people who declare themselves insightful, aren't. People who declare themselves intellectuals are usually full of it ("most in my generation are shallow and passive"). You may think you're bright but for now, you are just another type of stereotypical teenager with very limited life experience pretending to know things you simply do not comprehend.
