Teens as a social collective

Teens can function as a hivemind. They have the stable groups. The %80 percent of the groups that obey the rules. But each group has a leader. a 20%percenter. This person leads the groups on the outlier categories. They take the risk for the eighty percent. These outliers do things out of the social norm in an effort to help the teenhive create the most dynamic future hiveleaders. A mix of the two keeps the whole species alive. See Stanley Kubrick - the duality of man.
