Teenagers have the reputation of being moody, selfish, confused, mysterious creatures. They have to be nagged to get up, go to school, come in on time, put their dirty clothes in the right place, have a reasonable conversation about something. They are capable of blowing up massively over something one minute and hugging us and saying "love you mum" the next. And we expect these emotionally labile, sometimes volatile, self-concerned (quite naturally) people to ignore a basic physical need until...when, consent, maturity, marriage?
