St John the Silent

I read today that there is an actual Saint called 'St John the Silent' who stayed in his room for 75 years
(probably suffered from agoraphobia before anyone had heard of it) refusing to talk or be nice to anyone.
Two things struck me, firstly what on earth did he ever do to become a Saint and secondly could this be the 
patron Saint of sulky teenagers?
