What exactly do you mean by "damned" here?

I too am confused by the unique use of this word

[brabel]

I am assuming the author is using it as one would use "wicked" (with a positive conotation)?

I don't know why teenagers insist on taking a negative work and making it positive, especially when teenagers don't like adding emphasis to words so you have no idea whether they think it's good or bad.

Not that I was completely innocent of this at that age.

That's right, forgot the word (not a native speaker unfortunately).
