President Thomas S. Monson told young women of the Church that their first years on Earth were precious, special years during which Satan had no power to tempt them because they had not yet become accountable, but they have now entered or will soon enter what some have labeled "the terrible teens." He said he prefers the title "terrific teens," a period when young people have "a time of opportunity, a season of growth, a semester of development — marked by the acquisition of knowledge and the quest for truth."
