Great summation of the issue!

At 17 , that “boy” is too damn young to know what he thinks about anything! Most 17 year old boys don’t! Especially if they’re of the “not too bright” sort, many of whom I’ve met first hand, who are mostly only capable of parroting the thoughts and ideas of older people.

He’s not even angry for himself. He can’t be, as he hasn’t even begun to have a life yet. What is it that he has been deprived of that he needs to blame others for the loss? He’s not an adult with an adults cares. He’s a mouthpiece borrowing other, older men’s grievances to fuel his power fantasy!
