Tavi Gevinson's Article

I totally get what Tavi is saying in the article when she says "But that disconnect, that yearning, just waiting itself." She says the girls had their own expectations of sex and love all bottled up inside and never shared it because their mother was trying to shelter them from this urge. Maybe they wanted to experience these things but never got to as a teenager because their family was so sheltered. This still shows no explanation to why Cecilia killed herself, but it gives us an idea that maybe she was tired of her conventional, conservative lifestyle. But Tavi thinks that maybe adolescence isn't "making out with Trip Fontaine under the bleachers or losing your virginity at the school dance or jumping out a bedroom window after dramatically proclaiming love to an almost perfect stranger", but it is "that disconnect, that yearning, just waiting itself". The girls never experienced the free lifestyle, but Tavi is saying that maybe that yearning is what is really means to be a teenager. The girls just don't know that, and that's why a possible theory of why they killed themselves is because they were very sheltered and were tired of their lifestyle.
