Ready to take on anything, teenagers are growing into their identities as young adults. They’re attuned to what’s happening around them and ripe for new experiences and challenges. And they value their friendships more than ever. Teenagers are also exploring and wrestling with more serious adult themes. “They’re starting to read more grown-up books, watch more grown-up movies, and play more grown-up games,” says Brian Mayer, a gaming, learning, and library specialist in New York City. But on the inside? Even as they start to engage more in the world around them (think: first jobs, community service, social activism), they’re still kids at heart, and they find joy in the silly and the absurd.
