[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 16301, member: 1991"] Basically, teens don't think about issues in the same way adults do. The maturity they need to make more subtle choices simply isn't there until much later than we think. However, society hands responsibility to these kids well before their brains are ready. And that's PCs, not difficult children. Responsibility takes maturity - exposure to the processes, plus the brain maturity to cope with it. Some empathy and thinking skills cannot be taught. We just have to wait for the brain to catch up, and meanwhile be stopgaps. Marg [/QUOTE]
