U.S. TEEN TRAVELS TO BAGHDAD TO 'EXPERIENCE' HARDSHIPS OF ORDINARY IRAQIS
It is one of the strangest stories to come out of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. An American teen claims to have made it from his home in Florida, to Baghdad, over the holidays because he wanted to experience for himself the same "hardships ordinary Iraqis experience."

Why is it that mostly North American Teens tend to do these things? I believe the answer may be in having a surplus of resources and being fed with the courage to undertake challenges - something that is both abundant in North America in my opinion. However, with that said, if you have not read about what this kid did - then you should - you will be surprised.
