I'm not trying to be a troll... I apologize if that's how it may seem. I'm just trying to state my opinions, which are often different from what others think, even on a diverse internet forum.

Now, this is seems to be a typical view of people in general, but especially teens: If you have no friends, you deserve none, it's all your fault, and you have committed some sort of crime, period. You don't just deserve to be lonely, on top of that you deserve to be punished for having no friends, and that's what people pick on you.
What? I didn't once say that in my post you quoted. I was just listing the reasons why people communicate at all, especially teenagers, whose lives are roller coasters. They need to find some way to cope with all in their lives, good or bad, and so for centuries that method has been to share experiences and ask questions with their peers. I didn't say a thing about "nyah-nyah it's all your fault if people hate you". Because that's not what I think at all.

BTW, I would like to apologize if I came off as critical or severe. Sometimes I can seem like kind of an ass in text, but I'm really not.

No, it's okay. We're all entitled to an opinion here, and you weren't being an ass at all.

The last part is just ridiculous, seeing as how I am a teenager. It seems as if Sero is generalizing in the opposite direction just to give an opposing argument, which is what led me to my comment about the "trollishness".
I don't know... what I said about the cursing is the view of every teenager I know, and I know a lot. Again, you're allowed to have a different opinion. I was kind of observing, which I always do when it comes to people in general. Sorry if I offended you or anything. And again, I'm not trying to troll (I hate trolls), I'm just stating my opinions that just happen to be different from others'.
