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.
