"Where are you Going? Where have you Been?": 15. How is this story a parable? What is the lesson or meaning you find in the story?

another answered: 15. The story teaches an important valuable lesson. The lesson is to never trust strangers and to not get too fascinated with the contemporary teenage lifestyle.

What did you conclude the meaning was?

15. Choose family over friends because they are the ones who will always be there for you. Appreciate your family.
