Adolescence Quotes

Reflections on the awkward, in-between teen years.

These adolescence quotes describe the teenage years as an unstable stage, defined by one writer as "physical maturity with psychological irresponsibility." Another calls it a distinctly modern and American construct, worth comparing with Adulthood quotes.


The theme also extends into creative work, with one writer linking adolescence to writing about war and another comparing it to fermented, preserved poetry. Readers exploring identity themes may also enjoy American quotes.
