A wonderful bit of narrated eavesdropping. It was frustrating to listen to accounts of teenagers doing stupid things, but in a way that I should be. It is all too easy to want to just ignore these people, their situations, and the reflection of what each of us once was and still is in some ways. This piece holds that up to us, not in an accusatory way, but just to make sure we keep paying attention.
