It's odd that we knock teenagers for being sullen and moody when they're expected to remain celibate for years after puberty.
How many 30 or 40 year-olds, under a fraction of that hormonal load, could manage this while being bright-eyed delights for those around them?

Jim I live near a large conservative religious community here in Penna. The teens are expected to be celibate til marriage. When the girl often gets pregnant the community just kind of shrugs. The chik fil near me fills up with startlingly young parents if I go for an early dinner. On the other end of the spectrum when I got a serious boyfriend my mom drove me to get a check up and a birth control pill script.
