Yes, one's teenage years are among the most vulnerable of all. We are generally still trying to find our place in the World, or gradually discarding our childhood perspectives of what our place in the World should be.

Of course - this is a trend that only gets worse with time - peaking in late middle-age. Unsurprisingly this is where many face another existential crisis.

I have done my best for the moment to give this the treatment it deserves. Now that it is written - I can only improve upon it and seek to spread it far and wide.
