Driving

What teenager who get's their license actually abides to the restrictions and rules we have? 

Restrictions for the first year:
• Can't drive anyone under 25
• Can't drive between 5a.m. to 11p.m.

I personally broke the "can't drive anyone" rule the first day I got my license.  It's a pointless rule, what good does it serve?  When I have friends in the car I usually drive safer then when I'm by myself, the risk of endangering a friends life scare's me more than endangering my own.  I regularly drive my friends to lunch almost every day and get some gas money in the process.  As long as I'm not speeding or driving recklessly I shouldn't get a ticket or my license revoked just for driving a friend.  Like most law's imposed on teen's, it's fucking pointless.

Reliance on Technoology

How disgusting is it that most of us can't imagine going a week without an internet connection or a cell phone?  We think, oh it won't be that bad, until we actually go a day without anything and realize we have nothing to fucking do with our time.  This happened to me today, when we were packing to go to a vacation house on the coast my mom told me that the house didn't have internet.  In response to that I did what every mature, grown-up, 16 year old would do: got pissed off and called the whole trip "bull shit", and start pouting like a 5 year old.  How did we get to this point?  Hopefully I'm not the only one.

Side note: I did end up getting internet by "stealing" a WiFi connection from our neighbors, all well that end's well I guess.........
