Jenny Wilson will address an annual youth conference on teenagers finding their identity through making their own decisions. Two characters in the Mortal Instruments series, Jace and Clary, try to discover who they are after being misled initially. While parents may see their children's behavior as rebellious, teenagers are simply changing and growing up. Parents need to allow their children freedom to develop independently but also provide help when needed, such as to avoid the trauma of war or overcome challenges with religious identity.
