Confessions of a vapid teenager

First off, I am posting this off of my iPod so if the typing gets a little hairy I apologize. Today I was given the honor of being called vapid. Vapid is defined as offering nothing stimulating or challenging. I found this insult very interesting, as it is obvious (at least to me) that the person who said it really doesn't know me. Don't get me wrong, I recognize I am not even close to being a perfect human being. In fact, I will be one of the first people to recognize I am at fault in a situation, or to recognize my shortcoming. But vapid? That is a term that could be used as an antynom for describing me. I feel as though I have fairly intellectually stimulating conversations on a regular basis, and don't hold any unfounded opinions. Far from being unchallenging, I challenge most of what I am told and seek answers to questions. I do my research. I was honestly shocked someone would describe me that way. And the insults continued, claiming I based my opinions off an institution, and was whiney. This all coming from someone who needed a youtube video to argue his points for him. I have no problem with someone pointing out my flaws, but when the points seem to be infounded, I seem to work myself into quite the knot. I apologize for my first post on this blog since the trip being a long and boring rant, but I needed to get my thoughts typed out.
