As Giles continues, he describes his mischievous behavior as a passing phase where there were other things he desired more than going to class and because his desires were not satisfied he rebelled. “This may be a less noble account, but hardly pathological, or in need of some medical classification” (Fraser 261). Many young children experience this same phenomenon; today a term scientists deem as ADHD. “Since the early 80’s, society has decided that adolescent trouble-making is some sort of medical condition” (Fraser 261).
