I was reading/skimming one of the recent posts Dr.Preston had uploaded on our blog and was reading these paragraphs written by David Foster Wallace, this one quote stood out to me a lot. Many teenagers live this quote in life daily. Dress, talk and act a certain way when they are in certain places just so they don't feel so alone. This quote is the average high school student. It addresses the issue so simply and gently but the message is so strong and loud.
"We enter a spiritual puberty where we snap to the fact that the great transcendent horror is loneliness, excluded encagement in the self. Once we’ve hit this age, we will now give or take anything, wear any mask, to fit, be part-of, not be Alone, we young."
― David Foster Wallace
