I thought of this when I was thinking about how as years pass you notice patterns and start opting out of certain behaviors or optimize ways to bypass old activities for more efficient ones. I was one to avoid most trends when I was younger, but I participated in ones that made sense, and usually only if I was only by happenstance part of the trend. So I, for one, did do what I'm suggesting above, however I do recall behaviors I had where I was the product of my environment, as we all are to some extent, and I had that feeling of "omg i can't believe i did that", but there was really no way around it unless I chose to be a blank slate with no personality or something on that order.
What do y'all think? Are younger people seeing patterns as environmental constraints, in that they avoid negative, popular social behaviors? Or are they falling pray to them as a social constraint that they are compelled to conform with?

I think you're saying the opposite of what you mean, because it's the easily entranced who have no personality of their own.
Most young people only see superficial patterns, so almost all end up interacting with society.
