Being a modern teen is a tough gig.
You're damned if you're on your phone too much and you're dammed if you go outside and roam. Parents often cant get it together either - first they buy the fancy devices, then the fancy bikes!
We assume that kids will 'go play' in ways we approve of without role modelling or direction, without scaffolding or supports.
They get into mischief and people complain, they stay at home in digital spaces and we lament.
Imagine a world we invested in infrastructure and guidance for teenagers the way we did little people or even submarines.
