Terrence writes;
It is that un cynical hope and basic idealism and ethics that few teens have.
Their rage against injustice their hatred of authority tolls the fate of their
world. Their cries are the peals of the bells of anguish of humanity and the
drudgery of survival in a system that fails to serve nothing but itself and at
that only adequately enough to provide happiness for few and at that for but a
few brief moments.
