Host of the Late, Late Show, Craig Ferguson, can muster together a good rant. Here, he takes on the culture’s deification of youth, actually the celebration of the young and stupid.

The apostle Paul accepted Timothy, despite his youth, but set expectations as well.

Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. (1 Timothy 4: 12)

Pope Benedict indicated the same in his most recent World Youth Day message: My dear young people, if you live profoundly in Him as did the Apostle Paul, you will not be able to resist speaking about Him and making Him known and loved by many of your friends and contemporaries.The Church depends on you for this demanding mission. Do not be discouraged by the difficulties and trials you encounter. Be patient and persevering so as to overcome the natural youthful tendency to rush ahead and to want everything immediately.If Jesus has become your hope, communicate this to others with your joy and your spiritual, apostolic and social engagement. … Make choices that demonstrate your faith. <h/t to the Youth Specialties blog>
