Teens are notoriously self-centered. He probably doesn't understand your perspective, and that's why he's pushing you to see his. He may even think that you'll thank him for showing you the error of your past ways, and that the new, shared set of beliefs will bring you closer together.
Luckily, being a teenager is a temporary psychosis.
That's a bit harsh, don't you think? Humans of any age (and most other animals) are notoriously self-centered. I don't like to dismiss someone's ideas simply because of age. Perhaps that's not what you meant, but it sounded that way.
Most of the kids we talk about on this board can make pretty convincing arguments. Sometimes they're even right and the adults are wrong.
