Perfect...

   This word can be used to describe me and every other teenager on the planet, with good reason, too. Three reasons, to be exact. Let's begin with one...
  
 1) Our Extensive Knowledge...
       As teenagers, we know everything. We even know more than people who have been around longer than we have, gone to college, and accumulated wisdom that only comes with age. That's a fact. That's why I try to tell my parents not to bother ever arguing with me. I know way more than they do, so its kind of pointless for them to even bother, especially when they should know they're going to lose the argument. Our extensive knowledge also includes our proficiency for technology. My parents aren't totally fossilized and my mom is actually quite apt, but still, there is no way that they could possibly be more intelligent than me. I'm a flawless 17-year-old. Right?

    2) Our Physical Prowess...
        My father is in the Army, so he has to keep in really good shape. But while he may be stronger than I am, I don't get sore back and knees. I can sleep on the floor without being as stiff as plywood the next day. And that's if I sleep at all. But beyond physical strength, there's something else. I can eat and eat and eat some more, and not gain a pound. My elders are not so lucky.

    3) Our Incredible Skill At Everything...
        Whatever your good at, we're better. This is, by far, the biggest part of what makes us so perfect. Need I say more???

   So, the next time you have to deal with a teenager, just roll your eyes and accept the fact that they are right and you are probably wrong. It's just life; there's no way around it.
