The enormous attraction that almost all children and teenagers feel for the world outside home is necessary if they are to form bonds, enter society and face the world. It is a strategy dictated by nature and evolution. Children have their rules, traditions, language and games. Their aim is not that of becoming successful adults but rather of becoming successful children. Teenagers want to succeed as such and this often means being different from adults or even in contrast with them. If adults give importance to academic results but one’s friends do not, it is the latter who win. Humans have been programed by nature to form groups of people whose approval must be conquered. The opposite would be counter- productive and in any case to the extent that nature wants children to be like their parents, one’s genetic make- up is more than enough.
