"I was weaned off of teen magazines of the ‘90s, so voices like Jane Pratt, Christina Kelly, and Atoosa Rubenstein are the end-all to be-all CYE’s for me. They had such faith in our youth and treated us like we were interesting people with worthwhile things to say—which was so empowering because kids are so used to people assuming that they’re lazy, solipsistic hedonists. Youth are kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy, aren’t they? Treat them like they’re horny slobs, and there’s not much a reason for them to behave otherwise. Treat them with the respect they deserve, and they'll blow your mind"
