I think it's because when you are so young, you tend to look at the world though rose coloured glasses and give things a 'romantic' slant. It's also the time when many young people feel immortal and quite self centred. They feel that they can change the world. Life is an adventure and they are the hero/heroine.
I remember being that age and thinking I had all the answers...then I grew up.
