Teens and Power Struggles

"Kids are just trying to figure out the shape of the world. Picture them like a blind person in a room: they're just going up against the wall; the wall is the boundary you've set for them. They're trying to figure out the shape of the world by banging into the boundaries you've presented. This is why kids that don't get any rules get so freaked out; the world has no shape to it."


~ Adam Savage
