Adults just can't figure out why this young lady is more mature than they are. From The Onion:
NEW YORK—Following her U.N. address about the existential threat posed
by a rapidly warming planet, citizens across the United States confirmed
Monday
they were perplexed by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, a
16-year-old who apparently has no desire to see the world end. “I know
she’s from another country, but she’s still a teenager, right?” said
33-year-old Sophia Williams of Kenosha, WI, her confusion reportedly
shared by millions of Americans who recalled that during their own
adolescence they had hated the world and everyone in it and had felt the
end couldn’t come fast enough. “I don’t understand why a high school
kid like her isn’t locking herself in her bedroom and writing bad poetry
about how nothing matters and everything is meaningless. Instead of
going around the world and giving speeches in which she urges people to
save the planet, shouldn’t she be commiserating with her friends about
how pointless life is and how we’d all be better off dead? I just don’t
get it.” At press time, an online survey found that a majority of
Americans agree someone should make sure Thunberg’s parents are aware of
her unusual behavior in case she needs to seek help.
