Man, to be able to impart wisdom to everyone would be amazing.  Labeling is so shallow.  In high school, there were so many people I never talked to because I was "cool."  But now, those people I never talked to are the people I keep in contact with and say hi to when I see them.  My "cool" friends have no substance.  Labeling is only a means of making yourself look better (in the same way cutting people down works).  With age come maturity and with maturity comes acceptance.  As you grow older, the line separating "punks" and "preps" grows really blurry.
