do some adults think they are of a higher caliber than young people and tease them with the idea that they are some prize of giving attention to others that is not really meant for others, in a fair way, tho sometimes seem to do it unfairly and at the expense of others? Just call it off and put a paper bag over one's head, a figurative, humorous, harmless, and beneficial/good-feeling joke not meant at anyone.. before someone puts that bag there for oneself. Pretty much one might say something like, "I will never give any of you attention," and then one wouldn't be a problem. How bad can a young person feel, do they need and deserve to get intimate a lot? I just kinda feel bad myself about this experiment thing pretending I am in trouble and they're not. (Who knows what else could go into this?)
Disclaimer: I don't mean anything bad at anyone in reality. Sorry if it seems like it. I do have concern for real situations.
