    I've seen teenagers. Trying to be earnest or gentle often just invites mockery, especially if you're talking to them in a group (since being genuine can come off uncool). Sometimes it can get under people's skin.

      Exactly, and they often know exactly what they're doing and know they can get away with it because some lib is going to go "they're children! they're children!" if you say or do anything in response.
