Romeo and Juliet Rephrase?

R and J were like 14 or 15 years old. And although people didn't live as long in that era, teenagers were still teenagers. What others think is EXTREMELY important to them. That's why there is so much peer pressure at that age. They were subject to all of the new found emotions that hit all of us around that age. And, like many, they were unable to cope with the stresses and pressures. Teens have one of the highest suicide rates. Always have, always will.
