		<description><![CDATA[There has been some discussion lately about (and by!) teenaged life learners. All too often, teens are collectively discriminated against or looked down upon due to their supposed bad behavior, moodiness, etc., etc. However, I think much of that is due to the way they are treated in our society&#8230;and people&#8217;s expecta&#8230;tions of and respect for [...]]]></description>
