Molly -this is a beautifully written post that resonates so much with me. You are so right - young people (and all of us) crave connection and compassion and positive attention. I feel like more people need to hear your perspective. As always, keep up your amazing work with young people. You are such a value to them.
Are people afraid of teenagers? And afraid of what? What don't they want to hear? Are they hiding themselves? I ask these questions because it seems to me that many people have conversations with kids that are designed to hold them at arms length. What do others think?
Such a simple idea.....ask and listen. Great article, Molly.
