This used to be much better understood.

But they won’t listen! They simply won’t or can’t or don’t want to listen, and we kids keep winding up back in the same old frustrating, lost, lonely corner with no one to relate to either verbally or physically.

If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.
