    That isn't to say that you can't reflect on something on which you experienced a knee-jerk reaction, and decide that it was wrong, but that's not the same thing.

    Isn't it the case that you sit and reflect on something and discover how you feel about it, rather than choose to feel - betrayed, or relieved, or foolish?

    (Can I just apologise for my typos - they seem to be creeping in to every post in the last few days...)

    I also loved my teenager years. I became all responsible and hardworking throughout my twenties, which I regret sometimes because my life lacked balance.

    I get the impression that many teenagers nowadays have a lot of angst and that young people have a better time in their twenties with a bit more cash in their pockets and more freedom.
