Adolescence: Change Over Generations
Adolescence has changed a lot through generations. There are many differences and similarities between generations. For example, our generation is mostly centered around electronics while my father's generation was mostly spent outdoors. This changed since they discovered how to make cheap and small electronics instead of the really expensive and big electronics back in the day. It was also a lot safer before so the kids got a lot more freedom in doing what they wanted to do. I do not know why this is but it probably is because there are more discoveries like cars which make it harder to be responsible. For instance, there are a lot more cars now making it dangerous to walk around on the streets instead of before where cars were to expensive for the average man. One of the similarities is that adolescence is as stressing as always. Even though now a days there has been a lot more discovered causing a lot more homework and making is dangerous, everybody is always stressed. This makes in harder to live in the twenty first century instead of the good old days.

Enzio, I agree with you totally that the period of adolescence is now, and has always been a stressful time. That seemed to be a recurring theme in all of the interviews. It is difficult to say just who has it tougher or easier doesn't it? Good interview and thoughtful post!
