“When adults say, "Teenagers think they are invincible" with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don't know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”

kek literally trying too hard. baka. that's why you don't philosophize in your writing unless you're actual smart and well-read. cringe tier.

Am I being trolled?

>We need never be
What is it about this part that's so pompous sounding? Is there a name for it?

verbose?

Not verbose but just...archaic syntax? I don't know. It's grammatically correct but it just sounds outdated. Like saying "Fear me not" or something

that's the literal definition of verbose

Presumptuous.

It claims to speak for all teenagers.

I know it has never spoken for me; I was always gripped by a terrible fear of death.

From childhood I was exposed to violence, and regularly feared that my father would kill me and my mother.

This sensation of the vulnerability of my life dogged me through young adulthood, and has never left me.

Archaic syntax is fine.

Only people who complain about it are faggots who can't into gravitas.
