about elephants in Africa. The villages were having serious problems with adolescent male elephants trampling homes in the villages. There had been an effort to reduce the elephant population by killing adult males so the "teen" elephants formed a group that was rampaging through the villages.
A wise person realized the boys needed guidance so they introduced adult males to their group. The teens stopped destroying the villages immediately.
People are no different, adult guidance is needed - especially at the adolescent age.
