Approaching the Crossroads

Adolescence is a time of physical, emotional and intellectual confusion. You're constantly told you're too young to do "this," but at the same time, you're too old to do "that." Life's experiences hit harder during the teen years than at any other age. Your entire existence meets with a constant barrage of contradictions: restrictions and responsibilities, obligations and choices, commitment and freedom, exhilaration and sorrow.
