"'Boredom--or complaining about being bored--seems to be a natural part of this life stage,' Peter Zollo explains. "Products, services, and messages that combat boredom may be especially welcomed by teens.' So if advertisers can cast school or church or home or adulthood as boring--and they do--they can sell teens the magical antidote: Dr. Pepper, a pizza, or a new pair of pants. It's no wonder that teenagers wonder whether they want to grow up." (98)
