But I'm a person and a spirit first. I probably would have fired people a long time ago and not have been so sentimental about it. I would have fired myself too. On the other hand, I feel like this is the best part of my life because I've learned that God made the world round so that we can all have center stage. I have center stage right now.
Kids are the same.
They still need the same things that we need. They need to know, even though they won't say it, that they are important. And they need to know that we are proud of them. They may act like they are too cool. Most teenagers, in fact all people, need to validate their existence.
