We are fed up with society teaching us on who to be and what to think,when the purpose of our existence④ is to be who we are.As teenagers,our continuing competition with each other,as well as the expectations that are set by the media,leads to undesirable⑤ effects.In fact,most of us need the emotional connection of relationships with people our age to access the most pure source of joy possible:the love and support that we receive from our classmates.—Natalia Jovovich,16
