“adolescents have a difficult time calculating the future and having a sense of the ramifications on their future lives.”
What a pile of garbage. When I was an adolescent, NOBODY had these issues. Shame on anyone for even attempting to use this nonsense.
When I was a ‘dumb kid’, we all thought we were Superman: immortal, invulnerable, and omnipotent. Reality tended to intrude on our delusions ... It led us to risk our own lives, not to destroy others’.
