I am not older and wiser, but I can not understand why anyone would
think that 16 was the ideal age to be. You are still in high school
and you live with you parents. Ooh what a blast. That is similar to
the very strange people who say that high school is the best time of
ones life. Why? Holden Caulfield was 16, and he was absolutely
miserable, and I can understand why.
