I really like to please people, and I think it's a symptom of being an only child.

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

I know plenty of adults who act like teenagers.

I wanted young people to know that I was just a typical child.

Teens are passionate, questioning, curious, have a bit of the idealism I still cling to, and they're making decisions for the first time that can alter the course of their lives - and sometimes, the course of the world.

Teenagers are a great audience and they are fearless about asking what they want to know.

Every child is taught if you try to please everyone, you end up upsetting everyone.

Older teens tend to write to me and say, 'Thank you for not writing down to teenagers.'

What teenagers want most of all are social rewards, especially the respect of their peers.
