I don't know. "Determined" and "silly" don't work together. "Stupidity",
maybe. "Stubbornness", I could see. But you're not determined and silly
unless you're, say, the Joker.

Normally, I don't comment on commentary. I leave that to the author. But,
having been a 16 year old male, I feel that I can say with some authority
that determined (semi or not) male silliness is *quite* possible. Of course
the perpetrators of the silliness don't think it's silly, but few perps do.
At least at the time. I kinda wish I could forget my own 16 year-old
silliness, but... *shrug.*

And I'm not stupid enough to comment on the possibility of 16 year-old
*female* silliness. It's kosher to make fun of your own gender, but only
girls are allowed to make fun of the other gender. I think it's in the rules
somewhere, but they keep changing them. ^_^
