Callie,

Thank you so much for writing. Your message is really remarkable, as you show great insight — definitely more than me when I was in college. Persuasive design affects us all, so I think as adults we can work to understand how it impacts us, and then do our best to help kids who don’t have the ability to recognize how their lives are being changed by unseen forces. It seems you have a lot to offer the world, and I encourage you to follow your instincts.

Best to you,

Richard
