Insecure kids? (Score 5)

I'm sort of afraid to ask this, but....why do
these things seem to be centred around the US?

I'm not sure on the demographics, but I know
Australia has one of the highest person/net usage
in the world, most of the kids I know play console
games, we get all the terrible US telly, and yet
we don't seem to have the same problems.

I know that I was bagged at high school for being
geeky, but who cares? Do other people opinions
_really_ make that much difference to how you
think about yourself? I certinaly didn't give
myself an ulcer over it.

Just think of the people who critisise you as
being stupider than you are, merely trying to
bring you down because of their dissatisfaction
with their own intelligence. Makes you feel
better :)
