Children are born into this world pure and complete; more complete and more pure than any other age group. They have not be tainted by society or told false truthes in order to make them "more happy" and "more safe" in our world. Unfortunately, the young are taken in at a very young age and taught these false truthes and grow up without knowing anything else.
Teen and early twenties are the last age groups to show hints that there is something wrong with society. Teenagers are still young and, as the saying goes, have not "gotten all the fun out of their systems" yet. I have been told by my father that I should get all the fun out of my system so that I can take life seriously and succeede in life. What this translates into is "get all the life out of your mind because you have to go into society and become just another ant and never live ever again." Maybe I'm being a little too harsh, but that's what I think whenever my father tells me this. Teenagers try to enjoy life without the idea of society pulling them down. This is why there are so many young groups rebelling against society. Punks and anarchists rebel at this age because they haven't "gotten all the fun out of their systems" yet.
Teens are forced to attend school, a place many of them do not like to go to. Smarter teens are not as wild (usually) because they recieve some amount of satisfaction out of the process of getting good grades and get attention because they are smart and society smiles upon them. Those of lesser intellegence or those who are more prone to art hate school even more and are pushed to lash out. They become angry and hateful and may even break the law. Now, not all students do this, but some do. Sitting in a enriched level class and then a standard class, one can see that the attitude is completely different.
Teens like to stay up late at night because they don't have time to do what they enjoy during the day. They want to go out and play with their friends, but they cannot because of school. Therefore, the only time that they can get all the fun in is at night or on the weekends. This forces them to either cram all the fun into one night and miss out on a lot of it or to stay up unti 3:00 or so in the morning. And still they do not get to have fun because homework makes them stay up even later. All this creates a lot of stress on the human soul and hurts them deeply.
Now time goes on and teens are told that they can't do these things anymore. They become adults and have to "keep it down" and stop "acting so crazy." Adults that try to stay out late and have a lot of fun are shunned in society. Adults that are anarchists and punks are also suppressed until they eventually convert into society. Watch the movie SLC Punk and you'll see that this type of thing happens.They truely "Get all the fun outta their systems." As people bein to be slowly integrated into society, they lose their dreams and ambitions (unless they have already been integrated) and become full flegded Quoiians.
People lose hope as they grow older because they see no hope. Because of the fact that therea re no groups or even on single person out there who is trying to fix the society, people don't see that there can be anything better. Subconsciously, they long for freedom but see no way of obtaining it and, therefore, give up.
