I noticed that young people have a lot to tell us; in every which way you can imagine. I take it as education. Trying to learn what pisses them off; you are not supposed to tell them what to do even if they ask for it.
The best way is to ask a lot of questions about the issue, open up the dark corners for them. Corners they wouldn't see, not as if they lack intelligence. It's just not required to see those corners in young ages.
They'll find the answers by themselves eventually, and they do it right in some level. It might not be our way of doing things but who says ours is right.
So why not trust them, help them if we can to achieve what they’re up to. Be proud of them as they are and accept the fact that every individual has the right to live as they like. I’m not saying to ignore them, or not providing them the care they need, but love them right. Don’t try to own them, don’t make them to spend their life in our little boxes, they have access to much wider world, let them discover it, and conquer it. They have the possibility so why not? Instead of being in charge of their life we should try to be the there for them to encourage them and just love them. That would be enough both for them and us.
