ARE WE ABOUT TO RE-EXPERIENCE THE DELICIOUS AGONY OF ADOLESCENCE AS WE TRY TO FIT INTO THE NEW DECADE?

Hello ‘Teens’

As a teen in the Eighties, I witnessed the first coming of inglorious DayGlo™ – something I didn’t intend revisiting until well into my own mad, bad Eighties. But here we are, at the dawn of the decade ’10 to ’19 and I’m sitting here in my lumo-pink skinny jeans wondering what these Teens will be about. You know the rap: the Sixties had free love (or so we’re told), the Seventies had Starsky & Hutch, the Eighties were all about Me, in the Nineties the globe shrank to a village, and the Noughties, well, they were just now.
    One of the greatest plusses of being a teen must be the lack of perspective – being unlimited by limits. On the downside, there’s lack of perspective; along with being blindsided by hormonal blizzards and subject to rash behaviour (yours, your peers’, and your skin’s). Are we about to re-experience the delicious agony of adolescence as we try to fit into the new century? Who knows? But I’m glad a bunch of savvy, unprejudiced, brave and aware, tech-friendly communicators are along for the ride.– Georgia
