Our Biggest Problem As Human Beings Is

You Have Learned What You Have Learned Very Well. It Has Helped You Survive.

Adolescents Are Not Monsters. They Are Just People Trying To Learn How To Make It Among The Adults In The World, Who Are Probably Not So Sure Themselves.

Parents Teach In The Toughest School In The World - The School For Making People. You Are The Board Of Education, The Principal, The Classroom Teacher, And The Janitor.

I Feel That Adolescence Has Served Its Purpose When A Person Arrives At Adulthood With A Strong Sense Of Self-esteem, The Ability To Relate Intimately, To Communicate Congruently, To Take Responsibility, And To Take Risks. The End Of Adolescence Is The Beginning Of Adulthood. What Hasn't Been Finished Then Will Have To Be Finished Later.

Feelings Of Worth Can Flourish Only In An Atmosphere Where Individual Differences Are Appreciated, Mistakes Are Tolerated, Communication Is Open, And Rules Are Flexible - The Kind Of Atmosphere That Is Found In A Nurturing Family.
