I strongly disagree with this. For one thing, as a 16/17 year old kid, you can rarely convince adults that you're right. It's just embedded culturally and physiologically in your body that you're always right dammit! even when you're not. In reality, it takes years of wisdom to be right.

My mom is one of five siblings. She's the only one who didn't get into pot while growing up. Now, she has a master's degree, a house worth $400,000, a job for $100k+ a year.... One of her siblings died last year at 48; he spent at least 15 years of his life in jail. Another sibling (another brother) has spent just as many years in jail; right now, he lives with his ex-wife because he's had two divorces since he divorced her and has no job. The other two (her sisters) have near-minimum-wage paying jobs, bounce month-to-month on a paycheck without any savings account, and all of their kids ran away before they were 18. Coincidence? =|

I disagree for two reasons

1) I could make a better argument for the "always being right" to be embedded in the parents, not the youth.

2) Both of your stories are unique and coincidental.
