Jess P. Shatkin - Born to Be Wild: Why Teens Take Risks and How We Can Help Keep Them Safe

"To be normal during the adolescent period is by itself abnormal."
~ Anna Freud

I would that there were no age
between ten and three-and-twenty,
or that youth would sleep out the rest;
for there is nothing in the between
but getting wenches with child,
wronging the ancientry,
stealing, fighting.
~ Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale

Thou know'st the o'er-eager vehemence of youth.
How quick in temper, and in judgement weak.
~ Homer, The Iliad
