0:00.0	Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11.
0:11.0	Faith, welcome to the program.
0:14.0	Hi, thank you for taking my call.
0:16.0	You're welcome. What's happening?
0:20.0	Well, I'm a little bit frustrated with a lot of people my age really, really lonely. I was raised in a pretty traditionalist family.
0:31.0	And I'm frustrated with a lot of the guys my age. They're all very lazy. They like to just smoke pot play video games. They're not hard workers.
0:41.0	They don't value like any sort of companionship or anything. And I feel like it's all going downhill from here and I'm just really frustrated.
0:51.0	And how old are you?

2:12.0	Yeah. Trust issues come on. That's not fair. Teenagers are notoriously impulsive and wacky and so sad.
2:24.0	And so at your age, I think don't start getting trust issues because kids are acting like kids.
2:32.0	Yeah. Yeah. It's just more the deception and the manipulation and all that. I can't.
2:38.0	Teenagers. I really value on a teenager.
2:40.0	Teenagers. I don't know why I can't get this across to you. These are kids.
2:45.0	And most kids are not brought up to have the level of maturity you have.
