When I was in high school, a girl I'd known since kindergarten got pregnant. She then proceeded to graduate early, have her baby, and get a scholarship (a full one, I believe) to a local college. Not dumb by any stretch. Further, almost every person I know listened to what was popular when they were a teenager, even my sheltered friends. Practically everyone within five years of my age, for example, actually manages to know some of the lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Which is, as you may know, pretty challenging to figure out.
