THE MODERN TEEN-AGER Being an average teenager myself, I will explain my idea of us teen-agers. I'm sure that a lot of theparents won't agree with me at all.' The jears between thirteen and nineteen are some of the most difficult years of grow- ing-up, I think. Ways are different when you turn into an adult. It takes some of us a lot longer to adjust to adult- hood, though. We are at an age when it is about time we start using our oxm heads. Seme parents are overprotective, and it causes us to rebel one way or another. Parents think t..at it's for our own good that they over discipline us, but I feel that teen-agers want their parents' trust. During this period of our lives we want a crance to prove to ourselves and other people that we can think for ourselves. We want to do something so everybody will be proud of us. I guess y ,u can also say that we're awfully stubborn. This is also true,but when we know something is right, we aren't about to give up on it. Parents should take into consideration teat we really do want to learn some- thing, but we can't if they don't help us out. The adults are giving us an inferiority complex about ourselves the way they are always talking about us most of the time. Most of the accidents or any other things teat are done tteey usual- ly blame it on us teen-agers.' I know a lot of people that aren't teen-agers that are a lot worse. I know that the a erago teen-age driver is in- clined to push on tee gas pedal a little too hard, but just X. look at some of tee other adults I Another thing t ac otk-r. us teen agars io ou. priv. c hate to asx our parents if we can go somewhere. I know I don't like tol A lot of us re- sent our parents when they vent to know where we're going and what time we'11 be tack. Parents have every right to ask these questions, but they could show just a little more trust towards us. Some parents are very fair. They gj.ve their teen-age doildren as much responsibility as they can handle. I know some teen- agers are left on their own too much, but there are very few. I guess we teen-agers think we know just as muen a3 adults; cf course we don't, but Sometimes people ten't even give us credit for what we do knew I Some parents don't give their kids any love at sll. Others are never at hom , end then they wonder why their kids are always go e. When kies are bored it usually leads to trouble. For instance, it Tt ank- lin there is hardly anything to do. We go through nany (iff erent moods, which I don't actually understand myself. There are times when we feel like just giving up, I know I've felt like this I Then other times we're really happy. It isn't anything unusual to feel blue, but the funny part of it is that one ninute we're very happy and next thing nothing seems to go right for us. Grown-ups often get annoyed with us be- cause we're so moody, but T guess they'll have to p t p with us; we have tol These are difficult •’= it's true. But teen- much as we hate to fact, adults a?e a lift', and they do know what .
