text: Many people just want to mess around, and have fun, while toying with you, and while they might try to convince you to believe something silly or far fetched, you almost never believe them. At least, as you grow and your mind develops, you wont. These people target younger people, as they are more susceptible to believe whatever they've been told, as they see elder beings as wiser, and further experienced, and with good reason. They will get you to believe something, then humiliate you in front of others, making you feel like an idiot. However, they don't do it with ill intention. They realize that as you grow up, you will see others like that, and, whether they are aware of it or not, they want to prepare you for what is to come. They are the ones who provide you with humility, an essential trait to live with.
