Wow elicila! Thank you for that detailed response!
I can tell you really have done your research about all facets of this and it does make a lot of sense.
I was also a teen like you who at age 14 was mature in many ways beyond my years and had some crazy experiences.
I guess when I compare how I was to that of my teenage daughters your explanation really holds up in that my girls have had a very different upbringing to that of mine and are no where near mature enough to be able to handle some of the crazy situations I found myself in!
Thanks again for the food for thought!
