"When I was a teenager, I basically had no idea who I was. I followed the rules. I didn’t experience a lot of pain, but I didn’t experience a lot of growth, either, and my life was generally pretty lame. Not until my early 20s, when I took risks, quit jobs, crashed cars, and had thrilling, irresponsible, doomed relationships, did I scratch my way, sloppily, to the adult life I want."

But love teenagers & we adults are failing them — to keep them safe, to protect their futures, to teach them compassion, to give them faith that they & their peers can grow. This is their primal scream. https://t.co/OZikbmSHz2" / Twitter
