It's amazing how becoming a parent has made me aware of the ways in which our society is a whole bunch of societies overlaid. The life experience of children, teens, and families is surprisingly distinct from that of young adults. There are so many ways that things can contribute to or impede young peoples' ability to find and use their own agency.
