We underestimate teenagers at our peril. Even the dismissive thing out on the street--look at what they're wearing.

I recognize it because I've written books for teenagers--it's basically that they feel things more than adults do. They want things more than you think. They want things with greater depth than you think they do. Teenagers have got a lot of soul that adults have forgotten they have within themselves.
