Talking to teens in the DR has been extremely interesting. I am
Realizing it is very Similar in trying to talk to American teens. I am not saying this as a negative, but instead a reality. My Spanish is definitely not good and trying to make and keep conversations is not easy. But I have noticed that it is the most difficult with the teens in the DR: one word answers, no reciprocal questions, completely disinterested, etc. for any of you with experience with teens in the USA I am sure this sounds familiar.
Moral of the story - some things don't change. Many things transcend culture and location. I guess teenage angst is one of those things.
