annoy: (uh-noi) v. – To irritate
Chances are that if you are reading this, you are a teen, and that you might have annoyed somebody today. No, no, no, hold on, don’t get defensive: you didn’t actively go out of your way to bother anyone. Like it or not, teens make some people, well, sort of nervous in public. Wearing your hoody pulled down over your face, texting while pretending to listen, laughing hysterically at inappropriate times: the list is long. Some extra-uneasy adults are already secretly afraid that the majority of the younger generation is going to turn into tattooists, graffiti artists, identity thieves or gaming couch potatoes, and then where would our American society be? Somewhere down there with Somalian pirates. Well, in case something or someone is making you crazy, remember, it’s good to keep life in perspective. Read on and take frequent deep, cleansing breaths!
