Yes!Generally I think teens always crave ideals, feel antipathy for what they dont like with their parents, sympathy for what looks pure, right & beautiful. It is the process of freeing themselves from their parents wiews & venturing out to find their own. It is a process that should be left some space to grow on its own!It is criminal to take advantage of moldable, exploring young souls.Naturally, I think, many of us had a low self esteem, not having finished growing up. And when someone comes with the "perfect answers, the perfect warm athmosphere of being together", not struggling alone to find our way, I & many of us took this "way out". Feeling relieved, understood, secure of doing service to the world & being important.
Thanks for writing that.
