This is an excert from a question sent into Dr. Wes at the Lawrence Journal-World:
Dr. Wes: At 16 I came to the sudden realization that I didn’t really want to go camping with my parents in Colorado.
Strange. Looking back now, I’d like nothing better.
They did the packing and loading. All I had to do was ride 300 miles from my 106-degree western Kansas homestead and into the beautiful Rockies, where the morning temperature required a jacket and the afternoon shot up to 78 after the daily rain shower. Instead, I petitioned my parents to stay home and swelter away with my freedom. So it is with many teens. No matter what the destination, they seem to want to be somewhere else. So what’s a family to do?
