I read an article once about how parenting styles have changed from generation to generation. The idea of wanting to be "best friends" with your children was unheard of when I was growing up, but so many people my age have done just that with their own children. And it hasn't worked out the way they'd hoped! As much as I hated being told that I wasn't allowed to do a lot of things, I'm now glad my parents did that because I always had them to blame if I wanted to get out of doing something that I knew was wrong - "I can't stay out all night or my parents will kill me!" So my strict parents actually helped me deal with peer pressure. My uneducated parents worked hard at manual labour to put me through university, but most of my age group have children who have no interest at all in higher education.
The article I read also said that we've raised a generation that was never taught how to take care of themselves. They had parents who didn't teach them basic skills in cooking, cleaning, laundry, money management or repairing things. So I can see how young people face stresses that I didn't.

That post is funny, listing video game proficiency as a potential life stressor, but TBH the teen years are much more difficult than adults give credit for, and with life-changing implications. People remember high school as this fun, frivolous time free of the pressures of adulthood. But in reality, those 14-18 year olds are making vitally important decisions like what career to pursue, when/who to marry, how much schooling to attend, whether to have children early, what crowd to join/follow, whether to try risky behaviors, and who they are as a human being. The wrong decision by a 15 year old can derail their lives for decades to come! In retrospect their problems may seem petty, but they really do have a lot to deal with and handle.

We all were there so I think adults understand it! I hate to sound old but that is why some parents are seen like monsters by teenagers because they know and don't want their kids to do too many bad decisions.

When Elvis Mitchell says to Guadagnino he has always in his movies a “bigger than life character” who “inhabit his creative life”, Guadagnino answers that it’s even more true for the next movie he is developing. Developing is a weird word so he could be talking about his next film, this one or who knows? Maybe the movie with Jennifer Lawrence. I read a synopsis of the book and kind of sounds like a character like that. www.kcrw.com/news-culture/shows/the-treatment/luca-guadagnino-call-me-by-your-name21:30
