I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.

I think there is a point in every teenager's life where they are forced to come into themselves.

I think every teenager feels like a Martian in something, whether it's in their family, I think, or in their school. I think every teenager, every human being has a sense that they don't belong somewhere.

I have always had a sense that we are all pretty much alone in life, particularly in adolescence.

Teenagers only have to focus on themselves - its not until we get older that we realize that other people exist.

I think there's a time in your life where you don't feel like you fit in. I think everyone has that when you're a teenager, especially, and especially in the society we live in.

All teenagers have this desire to somehow run away.

I feel like a teenager myself, so I appreciate it when the kids think you're all right.

I don't have anything new to say about teenagers.

I think young adults get a bad rap for being self-absorbed and self-centered. My experience going around the United States and speaking in schools is that teenagers here are very interested in the fate of their peers around the world.
