Let's End Adolescence
Adolescence was invented in the 19th century to enable middle-class families to keep their children out of sweatshops. But it has degenerated into a process of enforced boredom and age segregation...The fact is, most young people want to be challenged and given real responsibility. They want to be treated like young men and women, not old children.Where have we heard this before?http://paulgraham.com/nerds.html
