Children want to do what grownups do.

And I'm not as young as I once was. At my age, I don't have time to be bored.

I believed my story would be helpful to young women my daughter's age, who are still in the process of forming themselves as women, and in need of encouragement to remain true to themselves.

In a spiritually sensitive culture, then, it might well be that age is something to be admired or envied.
