Teenagers Are The Bravest Of All
It is no wonder that teenagers are so different from adults. They need the emotional courage to embark on that most difficult of phases in human life namely entering into men/women relationships. They need all the chutzpah, all the cheek and all the confidence their hormones can muster for them to engage in this incredibly difficult occupation. Near our house is a path through the woods and often I see teenagers walking hand in hand along it. Often they stop and sit on the rocks and wooden benches placed near the path just for that purpose. It is touching to see how they chat and laugh, not doing much, just partaking of the gentle jousting getting-to-know-you and getting-to-know-me phase that is such an important part of being a teenager: starting to construct relationships with the opposite sex.
