I come across a lot of angsty rebellious teenagers in my line of work. This is a lesson some of them never learn. That “freedom” that they yearn for and lash out at everyone…
I tell them that they’re about to be adults. They could literally go outside and eat dirt, never shower again and only speak in swear words; and no one will come to arrest them. The things that the parents said weren’t for the parents’ benefit, and those training wheels are about to fall off pretty soon.
The training wheels for free will come off after a certain point but by then you should know how to ride the bike! 👍
