[edit] Rewrite

1. Rewrote the article and cited everything.
2. Removed opinionated material/speculation.
3. Removed the "dangers" stuff. Elkind thought this was relevant, but the data shows otherwise: teenagers believe they are just as vulnerable to common teenage pitfalls as middle-aged adults do.

Lemme know if there are any issues. As always, be bold in editing; however, remember to make sure whatever you add/change is verifiable. Cheers. --slakr 02:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

-> I wrote the original. The rewrite looks a lot better, I just pieced together a definition from memory really. My idea was just to get this article on wikipedia, I was kind of surprised no one had added it yet. -Dj Domino
