Young girls are rocking earlier and harder and harder in this troubled period of adolescence.

Relation to the uninhibited body, staging of their image, toxic friendships, the influence of feminism or hypersexualization, they lack benchmarks.

Drenched in information and images that disturb them, teenage girls can get out of hand at any time and put themselves in danger.

Parents who are often distraught still have to protect them and maintain the bond.
