"I'm a person that doesn't believe in myths," says Hana, 11

Where did this obnoxious practice of referring to oneself in the third person come from? It's a really weak and cowardly way of speaking.

Stand up for yourselves, people! "I believe < whatever >." "I don't believe < whatever >." Say it like you mean it.

Perhaps 11 year old Hana doesn't really believe it at all and is only regurgitating what she has been fed.
