yeah, OK
but you guys are NOT typical - and not typical impressionable young people.
OK - I accept your defense that you can overcome the influence...
But I'm talking about a demographic. I don't think you guys are "typical" of the demographic.
Would you respond to this point in the abstract?
Again, I'm not talking about YOU here

I know exactly what you're saying and I guess the reason I don't agree with this article is because I don't feel it applies to me. Many people will just look at the type of music I listen to and stupid things like that and expect me to do certain things likes drugs and such that I've never done. I really gets annoying.
With that said I can understand why people do that because for the most part you can tell a lot about a person by the media they expose themselves to. It comes down to self control and self esteem. I have plenty of both. Most people don't, and those are the ones who are easily influenced. I know it's hard for people around here to belive, but I'm actually quiet and very laid back. I'll always speak my mind, but I have a feeling that most people think I'm an annoying loudmouth asshole. I can be, but there's actually quite a bit more to me than that.
