An unavoidable (and quite scarring) viewing of the cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” seems like a critical rite of passage into being a true teen.

Sometimes, we feel blind. Sometimes, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes, we think we are going somewhere, but wake up where we were the day before, wondering what we’ve done, and what we’re going to do.
