I think teenagers have a lot to learn that we can only teach in theory or with fundamentals. Once they figure it out, we can learn from them.

I never grew up in a world where:

- we had ‘hide from an armed attacker’ drills in school.

- what I said as a 16 year old could jeopardize my career a dozen plus years later (thank god Usenet is dead.)

- marijuana was considered genuinely harmless and pseudo-legal.

- getting a ~5.0 weighted GPA and perfect SAT scores wasn’t enough to get you into any state school.

- even the most chaste kids are desensitized to porn as teenagers
