I think you have enough to think about without feeling bad about the drama that was my life before here.
You are. There are a bunch of people under the teenage indignation who are genuinely interested. Buffy has a responsiblity. And she does have a point. I was a pain in the ass teen. If I showed up here and the people I didn't trust told me to stay put? I sure as hell wouldn't. Super-power or no. And not to mention, they just recently showed up here. They don't have to listen to or trust Buffy, Andrew, Needy, or Paige.
Not that I don't see where you and Dean are coming from. Believe me I do. Personally I think there are teenagers out there that can deal with what most adults can't ... still, maybe you should see what a few of them can do. Or at least talk to them, when things are calmer and explain why. Maybe if they didn't feel they were being shoved to the corner or at least understood why they're being protected, they'd be less willing to go off and do stupid.
