Narcissism

Y'know.....I don't think it's such a bad thing that children are raised to think highly of themselves. As far as I can tell, the youngsters I come across at Uni are no more or less narcissistic that my generation, they just have a little more confidence and some of them seem rather more focussed on their goals than we were.

I was narcissistic as a teenager.....I think it kind of goes with the territory. How else can you describe that absolute conviction that the world is yours to remake and all the bold things in life are the invention of you and your peers? Maybe things are different in the US, I can only answer for the UK.
