I just want to add a little bit more along this point..
I think there is an expectation that teenagers are to be this whole party-animal, irresponsible, and without reason generalised bunch. There is so much marketing, advertising and media that portrays this type of persona for the teenage/early adult group. And some people never wake from this.
Often, people like yourself, can make those who would prefer to throw off responsibility and reason uncomfortable. Thus, the lack or intolerance to understanding your position and thoughts.
I agree with maleficient.. some will never "get it".. you may find a few, however, that will come around. Just think of it as a life lesson in learning tolerance.. mainly of those who don't seem to "get it"...
