Abstract

Certain experiences happen to you during your early teen years. Some of them you never think of again, others affect for the rest of your life. It’s the awkward time between childhood and adulthood, when your body and mind begin to develop into whatever it is you will become. The friends you make during these years will be your oldest and dearest. They will share both your innocence and your awakening, and you theirs. I passed through this period in the late 1960s and early 1970s, an era of remarkable social, political, and moral change. But at the time, I thought it was only me.
