It will Hi eventually eat every teenager. but a few of us have eluded it and want to forever. Alvin Stocksick hasn't even seen the beast yet. I’m not beginning any kind of job until my parents kick me out of the house. Until then. I'm living a life of fiestas and siestas. Those who choose to take part in the stressful combination of work and school claim to suffer on weekends. Work stinks. Every Monday my friends are at school telling me what a good time they had at parties or movies. I never have any stories to tell, said Mark Tomishima with a smile. Those students who choose not to work lose the benefit that comes in the form of a dollar sign. Yes, those without jobs seem to also be those without money. It's not natural for teenagers to work, yet they must have money. This forces students to either mooch off of their parents, or to compromise their values and work. “I chose not to work. It sucks though because I have to wear some of the same clothes within a month. stated Jen Staker. One thing that students can do to ease the tension of the situation is to find a job that they like. A variety of jobs are available to teenagers, and most of these jobs are at places that teens deal with everyday. Alan Park- er works at Mr. Magoo's pizza par- lor and says this of his job; ‘T work at a pizza parlor, and a lot of people that I know, and don't know come in. Jobs can have an effect on a stu- dents' academic career. Grades can cause problems with mom and dad, and that's the last thing a teenager needs. I got a job at 'Marshalls,' and all my grades went down. I had to quit, noted Kelly Linder. The choice is yours. You can get a job and deal with problems, or live a life of thrift, by Lance Perdue (----------------X Jobs

The stereo- type says that they do. The guys al- ways have to do the paying and the asking. Most girls think that the guys are just stubborn and pay on purpose just so that they will have something to complain about. Jen Staker feels that the guy always seems to pay. I usually try to help out, but they won't let me. I think that they do this for leverage. Guys treat a date like an investment. The conflicting view comes from Scott Prather. Girls play with us. They never even offer to pay for dates, and if they do, they make you feel guilty so that you won't let them.” Brian Dowling looks at things from a different angle. It's tradition for the guy to pay. Mr. grandfather did it, my dad did it, and I'm going to do it. also. Some girls have a favorable opin- ion about the guy paying for dates. I like to offer my date money, but if he doesn't take it, I don't feel guilty, giggled Kelly Linder. Another controversial issue in- volved with dating is who should ask whom? Not as much difference is seen is the opinions from guys and girls on this issue. Both groups feel that the guy should do the asking. Jason Townsend said, “I would rath- er ask the girl out because if a girl asked me out that I didn't like, I don't think that I could say no. The girls also seem to prefer that the guys do the asking. When guys do the asking, it's better because it is a surprise, and also it is tradition for the guy to ask, Becky Zwissler re- plied with a smile. Don't worry guys, the girl will be- gin to take the initiative and ask you out, too. Who knows, maybe she'll even pay for the date. By Lance Par- due. Dating 1 AJ
