There Are Always the Hard Times By Andrea Atwater Many times arguments take place between children and their parents. This doesn ' t just happen in only one family — everybody ex- periences it. Frequently it seems as if Mom and Dad just don ' t understand. Yet, parents have reasons for the rules they establish. They are concerned with our safe- ty and well being. It isn ' t a new revelation that parents and children don ' t see eye to eye, and sometimes this becomes frustrating. Sophomore Te- resa Bubienko says, I think one of the real frustrating ar- guments I have with my par- ents is that they always want to know where I am at all times of the day. I think they are too over protective. Besides the hard times, however, our parents love us and their support is impor- (t Talking with friends sometimes help to relieve any bad feelings one might have. Here. Denise Roa steals a moment or two to talk between classes. When things start getting tough at home, a friend can be a great comfort.

Several parents are involved in booster clubs and some pre- pare meals before games for the football team. They spend a lot of time out of their regular schedule. Jason Bell ' s mother, Mrs. Bell, states, I think that support is the most important thing you can give to a child. I just like to make them happy. Many parents show sup- port by going to games and getting involved. Mrs. Winn states, I think it ' s important to be involved with youth. It ' s important to all kids at Saddleback, not just Kreg. Even though situations with parents are hard at times, one point still re- mains: Mom and Dad really care. As Mrs. Bell puts it, I figure someday he won ' t be there for me to do it.
