Just goes to show that teens can be quite persistent and inventive when they're determined enough to reach a goal. Unfortunately, that goal is more likely to be sex or the acquisition of mood-altering substances than anything strictly academic. There's a probably a way to harness this observation for pedagogical purposes, but frankly, I'd rather teach people who are at least beginning to think and act like adults.
