and the children shall lead.

i think that the hardest adjustment make as an adolescent is people not loving you immediately. you're not the kid, you're a person. you're not just your parents kid. thats how people define youngins. another thing is not being constantly showered with love. you have to actually talk for yourself, you have to prove that you're special. you're not a symbol of love and innocence anymore. i think that love, as in romantic love, is the only emotional advantage grownups have over kids. besides that, kids have way more emotionally fun minds.
