Swedish teenagers don't grow up very fast, except when it comes to sex, alcohol and material possessions*

See other groups of swedes and where you can find them in Stockholm's inner-city

(* As usual, in secular rich countries. Norway is, in this field too, like us but more.)


Confident and spoiled.

What does the swedish school do (which is a complete different universe comparing to the strict and top-ranked finnish school)? Give in, usually. Anything to be anti-conservative. See it as "important to listen" to the youth.

It says something that the 1980's phenomenon Okej, before society started to frown upon nudity for feminist (not puritan) reasons, was able to sell soft porn posters straight to teenagers without many complaints. Samantha Fox thought it was weird to see her breasts in the magazine.  

We could put it like this: swedish teenagers seem to be alright. They don't run away from home. It's pretty unheard of here. (Unlike in the USA, where the Greyhound bus company actually have campaigns and policies addressing the issue.)
