The requirement for this week’s photo challenge at I Heart Faces is that the photo includes a teen (age 13-19) in it. I don’t hang around with teens at all, so I thought I might have to sit this week out. But then, we went to see “Karate Kid” (AWESOME!), and Jaden Smith reminded me of a young man at one of our Lighthouse Family retreats. And then, I remembered that I got a picture of him that truly reflects teen “attitude”. At fourteen, he’s no longer a child yet not quite a man, wanting to cross into adulthood but not… quite…. there. Teen years… I think they contain both the highs and the lows of life, sometimes in the span of a few minutes.
For more glimpses of who teens really are (each one different from the others), head on over to I Heart Faces and check out the entries.

Wax on wax off! I think you may have found a stunt double for Jaden! Are those grains of sand on him? Fabulous!!
