Nobody is being greedy by wanting electricity or wanting a car to service a family. So those for me are very interesting issues. I think there is a lot of hypocrisy that goes on about what Americans feel are essential in their lives, are their basic needs. Cairo is really sort of a watershed moment in that for the first time adolescent's rights as a group were recognized. Adolescence really is a time of great change, emotional, physical, etc., and it took until 1994 really to recognize the fact that this is a group that needed specific services, specific attention.
Adults still find it very difficult to accept that adolescents, young people, are sexually active.
I think ultimately parents are going to have to realize that times really have changed. And adolescents are really in a very different sort of time period from what their parents were and they are sexually active. That is a reality. You can shout abstinence until you're blue in the face, but adolescents are having sex. That is the reality all over the world.
