“The adolescent period is absolutely amazing. People often give it a negative approach saying, ‘Oh it’s a time where adolescents are gonna lose their mind, or they’re just immature, or raging hormones drive them crazy.’ These are all not only wrong, but they’re myths that mislead us and actually disempower us.” – Dr. Dan Siegel
