Love when reading out loud brings a new way of looking at what the writer has penned. I escaped my teenage years thankfully unharmed :-) Great write and smiled at what you wrote here -What was most surprising was how the group that had counselling generally faired worse, much worse than those without any counselling. The group that did best were the ones that drank, and drank a fair amount.

The language is not elevated but the stream of consciousness style, yet the metaphors are apt, revealing, and profound. I think you pretty much nailed it here.
