Do you remember the stress of being a teenager?

As an adult, you might fondly look back on that time in your life.
You had no bills to pay and no worries about where to live because
you were still at home with your parents. You didn’t have to buy
groceries – the food was just there. You could get a job if you
wanted extra spending money, but you didn’t have to work. Why
didn’t we appreciate that time more?

But in reality, teenagers DO worry about things. They worry about
grades and whether they’ll be able to get into a good college. And
if they do get in and if they can afford it without racking up a
ton of school loans. They stress about body image and fitting in
with their group of friends, and sometimes some family conflicts
can be part of the stress. Then there’s dating and relationships,
which is a whole subject. And on top of all that, they are
pressured to decide what they want to do with their life.

So despite the fond memories, being a teenager isn’t always
easy.

Today you’ll hear my guest, Martine, talk about something she
experienced when she was 16. By all accounts, she was a teenager
with a pretty good life. She lived in a decent house with her
parents and her sisters. She went to school and hung out with
friends. Life wasn’t perfect, of course, but she was happy.

She certainly wasn’t worried about her family’s home being invaded
by armed men in the middle of the night until it happened.

Twice.
