CONCEIT. God help teenagers' over-exposure to this word. If a teenie appears 'conceited' he/she may simply have that appearance. Have you ever noticed that the STARS in Hollywood have faces, miens, and ways of carrying themselves, that usually match perfectly to the roles they get? John Wayne, Robert Mitchum etc. carried themselves in a way that in High School, would be called conceited. The word means, 'being overly-proud'. Duke and Mitch were overly-daunting.....great to be able to pull that off! You occasionally meet a mature-acting teenager, who is privileged to grow up in an atmosphere that promotes that. If he/she strike others as being conceited, too bad. Kids reflect the way they're being raised, and to answer the question, I'll take 'conceited' over sloth any old day.

Yes.
Pride of life.
Everyone is sometimes conceited though, you know? So just ask God to forgive you when you act conceited.
