I don’t believe all the confident bluster for one minute. Beneath it all, a primal truth remains: Graduation from high school then leaving the family home is one of the scariest times in a young person’s life. I rank it right up there with being abandoned on the first day of school at age five or six, knowing you were going to have to fight a neighborhood bully who was going to cream you (boys), or being stood up for a prom date (girls). Actually, it’s scarier than all of those combined.
