Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you. Fran Lebowitz
Heredity is what sets the parents of a teenager wondering about each other. Laurence J Peter
The young always have the same problem – how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another. Quentin Crisp
Until the rise of American advertising, it never occurred to anyone anywhere in the world that the teenager was a captive in a hostile world of adults. Gore Vidal
Weird clothes are helpful to teens, making it easier for them to fend off sexual advances from older people. Certain types of older persons, with more aesthetics than good sense, are drawn to the beauty and vitality of teenagers.

P J O’Rourke

There are few things more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own. Doug Larson
