M: Good morning, Butner. [8] Good to have you here.W: Thank you. Good morning.M: [8] And let me start with you, because this clearly was a labor of love for you, I believe, [9] as you havespent the last seven years of your life documenting the lives of these more than 400 teenagers that youconnected with in such a real way. Why did you want to do this?W: You know, I always say this project found me; I didn't go looking for it. And I think I just have a realsensitivity towards teenagers. [10] And I think that kids are misrepresented in society. There's a lot ofsuspicion about teenagers. I think that society doesn't really know who they are. And I'm always rootingfor the underdog.M: Is that the common thread that you found? Did you find that they are for the most part the underdogs? I meanthatthey are really living such complicated lives at such young ages.W: Oh, absolutely! I think that life is moving really fas these days, and I think that these kids are forced to growup. And [11] I think a lot of kids are facing very big issues in life, you know, much bigger than we hadever, or at least I had ever faced.M: Alright well that's a good message to end on. So much more we'd love to talk with you about. Thank you.8. What is the most probable relationship between the man and woman?9. What has the woman been doing in the past seven years?10.
