Every teenager deals in his or her own sexuality and has to face it and figure out how it can coincide with the rest of their lives in a healthy manner. And try to navigate it in our modern society, which is wrought with stigma and taboo and repression, and sort of as a result, these inner monsters that some teenagers really struggle with.

And to say that society ought to be governed by the opinion of the wisest and best, though true, is useless. Whose opinion is to decide who are the wisest and best?

As society advances the standard of poverty rises.

There are no heroes in most of my stories. I look at our society with a critical eye and find nothing extraordinary in the people I see.

Some people never contribute anything positive to society, they may even drain our resources, but most of us try to do something better, to give back.
