Famous quotes containing the words life and/or peers:

“Young as she is, the stuff
Of her life is a great cargo, and some of it heavy:
I wish her a lucky passage.”

“Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents. They have loved and been loved by people whom they now must betray to fit into peer culture. Furthermore, they are discouraged by peers from expressing sadness at the loss of family relationships—even to say they are sad is to admit weakness and dependency.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
