"Off the rail" teenagers

Anything you want to know about teenagers breaking the law, getting involved in drink and drugs, underage sex, anything like that. Sadly I have first-hand experience with a lot of it, so if your difficulty is realistically describing how a said teenager would feel going through all this, I can help.

Short Tooth

I'm well versed in psychoanalytic behaviour, the psychosis of mental patients, and the teachings of Freud, Lacan et al.

I have a knowledge of the mafia, particularly the Sicilian one.

I understand the theoretical and technical aspects to films and have a degree in the analytical nature of them.

An understanding of social and communal activities on the level of the mind (being coded to think certain ways, generic identities etc.)

I know quite a bit about music theory, psychology, and mental illness (including and besides personality disorders), been studying them personally for seven and eight years, respectively. I know something about film history, mainly in horror movies. I've been looking into Law and Criminology for a year or three, so I know about those subjects as well.

Tackleberry

Hi all. I don't like to use the term "expertise", however, I do have some familiarity with a few subjects and would be glad to answer any questions.

Law Enforcement Tactics, Tools, and Training
(I've been pepper sprayed, TASERed, and choked out. I've also been handcuffed too many times to count.)

Corrections
(When was the last time you got into a wrestling match with someone covered in their own feces?)

Charcoal Grilling
(Everybody needs a hobby and grilling is mine.)

United Parcel Service
(Worked there for 7 long years.)

Guns and gunfighting in general

Combatives
(Different from martial arts.)

There, now I feel as though I have contibuted.

Oh this could take a while, I'll generalize with a few of my strongest points for examples:

all areas of science (medicine, chemistry, ecology)

music (oldies, prog and psychadelic rock)

literature (I work in a library)

weaponry (theoretical/cutting edge, nuclear, biological)

vehicles (mostly concept)

convoluted, but extremely clever, evil schemes

I know much more but it's 2 am and I have church in a few hours. Inquire about anything and I'll have an answer. Promise.

Military technology (especially aircraft, including 5th generation fighters, and camo "techniques" and how they work. Also the weaponry used in WWII by the Allies and the Germans)

A high school level understanding of Chemistry, a little above that in Biology, and I have a history of debating the subject of Evolution vs Intelligent Design (for the ID side).

I also have access to someone who is very knowledgeable in theoretical Quantum Physics and Medicine.

I won't bold this, as it is questionable, but I have had an odd amount of success in helping my friends making decisions about their relationships in the past, considering my own lack of experience and lack of a degree in psychology.

I can also be very opinionated, so if anyone has a need to know what it's like to argue with a stubborn person, just talk to me . But I'm sure we've all had the pleasure of that experience before, anyway .

Oh, I'm also very good at coming up with ways to cause damage to things. (Don't worry, I've never actually performed any of my ideas... yet o_o)

It's not a question of where he grips it. Its simply a matter of weight ratios. A five ounce bird can not carry a one pound coconut.

International Adoption from the perspective of an Adoptee. (Especially Korean).
On the same vein Interracial families.

Cultural Anthropology, especially in the area of linguistics, religion (to some extent), and creative media.

Mythology, especially greco-Roman (my Aunt is a professor in Woman's studies in Ancient Greco-Roman times, so she'd tell them as bedtime stories.), Egyptian, East Asian (Japanese Chinese, Korean), Norse.

Fairytales from around the world. (I had a phase of this).

Somewhat of New Age. This is Tarot Cards, Astrology, Palmistry, etc. I mined it out to look into magic systems.

Cooking. I've only failed at the Souffle thus far.

Crafts. embroidery, crochet, knitting, etc. (Right now I'm working on a Sweater without a pattern.)

Growing plants, especially edible ones. I'm growing ginger, Mountain Taro, pineapple, cucumbers and hot peppers. I've grown tomatoes and a lot of other vegetables too.

I know some things about animation.

Anime, manga, manhwa, manhwa yeonghwa, Asian dramas and movies (Korean, Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese... a few Singapore).

Languages: Korean, Japanese, English, and some fading French.

Nature Shows (I had a phase of this too.) Especially Discovery Channel since Science in general is a weakness for me (probably because I hate doing experiments)

Also I watched a ton of cooking shows...

Website Design.

Internet sociological behavior. I have a few theories that seem congruent with other studies I've seen.

I know somewhat about art and art History. I particularly know about Modern Art and Literature. (as supposed to contemporary)

Also some Jewish things here and there...

I read the Bible from page 1 through Exodus (I admit it was like a novel for me... O.o;; some racey stuff is in there. It's by far the raunchiest book I've read.) I read King James version through, but I went for the straight translation from the original too Hebrew/Aramaic and stopped at Exodus... so I've actually read the thing. (I know how strange that is.) A teacher once asked the class who had read it through, I raised my hand, 'cause I had. So I can answer questions like what do the Christian channels tend to dramatize and is not in the Bible. ('cause I watched Christian Channels too despite being Jewish) ^_^

And I can tell you which came first, the chicken or the egg definitively.
