Tweaking has been plain meth use for a loooooooooong time, not sure what the kids mean by it now

Now I think about it, young people are often high energy because (as I put it) the motor is too big for the chassis hence the need to run around on the jungle gym. So having new recurring slang for someone who is too energetic to be fully in control (i.e. well-behaved) makes sense.
