Going to see Brainstorm (about the changes that go on in the teenage brain) really shifted my view of how to deal with a teenager. It's on again at The National Theatre, London, in July.

I honestly believe teens get a rough deal most are not this hormonal unhinged mess. I think its to easy to say 'oh its a teen thing etc' My teens are great and if you talk to them most are happy and studious and doing just what you want them to!
