Professor Marcel Rufo: It is true that teens live in the present and in the immediate future, while parents only talk about the past ("When I was your age ...") and the future (" You have to do good studies "). However, Marie Choquet notes that 60% of them have a future project - which is not necessarily a guarantee of success ! Especially since almost a third of those who have a future project have already changed. For me, that's what's a good sign. That means that they are able to have other desires and to adapt .

In my eyes, the child who stops the piano or changes sports often is a child who is well. Whoever goes wrong, it is the one who trains to obtain a first prize of Conservatory or the one who continues a sport hoping that he will be international player, which he will probably never be. Being curious, dreaming, wanting to discover and conquer are signs of good mental health. Going to conquer a dream is more important than anything.
