The toddler must say no in order to find out who she is. The adolescent says no to assert who she is not.
I grew up in a house where nobody had to tell me to go to school every day and do my homework.
As I’ve said many times, the single most oppressed class in America right now is the teenager.
At the age of 16 I was already dreaming of having a baby because I felt myself to be an adult, but my mum forbid it. Right now, I feel like a teenager and I want to have fun for one or two more years before starting a family.
I think there’s a time in your life where you don’t feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you’re a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.
