O-THE TITLE'S TOO LONG!

What is wonderful in the world of teens?

I say they have a separate world, they do. Rock chicks, biker chicks,
hunks, guys, geeks. All of those are there. There are rock concerts,
torn tops, wild hair, tattoos, boyfriends. All those are wonderful to a
teen.

Pure joy is hard to find.

It is impossible. Poverty and war are in the world, but to a teen
that's nothing. To the rest of the world that isn't something to be
joyous about. We're going to die one day, I'm not being joyous about
it. Saving a life should be joyous. But going to the cinema with
popcorn is much more rewarding.

Feeling on top of the world

You don't want to feel on top of the world. In the North Pole, ice,
cold, snow, polar bears, cold, cold, cold. That's not rewarding.
Feeling great is good, but you are better off feeling Jamaica in
summer, than on top of the world. And don't wish, ever, that you feel
on top of the world. It might just come true, and a polar bear will be
sooo happy. But you'll be salami.
