Make it happen, Cap'n!!

...Er, I was kidding.

I have a firm enough grasp of the world to know what I'm talking about, else I don't talk about it. I will always fully admit when I don't have the expeirence to know something. I can usually hold my own with people older than me... at least, I think I can.

I DO know that I know more about the world around me than most people my age. Not because I'm arrogant; I am arrogant sometimes, but I know when I'm being so. I know that I know more because I WANT to know more. I can't say the same about the majority of fifteen-year-olds.

Again, mellow out.
