Teens
"
'Who am I?' is more than a throwaway line from television shows and juvenile
rock songs. It is the central question in teens' transition from dependence to
independence." - Foster Cline, M.D. and Jim Fay, Parenting Teens With Love
and Logic
"Parenting children during the 'tween years...is like building a
bridge that enables young persons to cross from childhood into adulthood." -
William Sears, M.D.
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could
hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was
astonished at how much he had learned in seven years." - Mark Twain, "Old Times
on the Mississippi" Atlantic Monthly, 1874
"It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of
problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry." - Edgar W. Howe
"The troubles of adolescence eventually all go away - it's just like a really
long, bad cold." - Dawn Ruelas
