One person can absolut- ly love his parents While another is constantly on the battlefield with his. One raves about mom's cooking and ap- preciates dad's advice, yet another hates mom's nagging and dad's para- noia when she takes the Buick out for the night. Then there is the half and half kid who loves mom when she slips him a S10 weekend bonus and silently cusses her out when he is put on a two week restriction. A general and unemotional descrip- tion of a parent is the dictionary's which is, one that begets or brings forth offspring. But from the moment of birth, no matter how good a parent- child relationship is, it can beget prob- lems. H QR Q if Many child-parent problems revolve around the latest boyfriend fgirlfriendl, the friends of their child, staying out too late, drinking, cussing, poor grades, and negative attitudes. Some parents say these subjects are bad influences on their child. But many students felt that problems and bad re- lationships could be solved by talking them out. All good relationships need proper communication because a bad relation- ship is one that dies not communicate, one that doesn't solve problems, said junior Vernon lmrich. Dana Wright, one of the students in- volved With peer counseling, added, A good relationship needs common re- spect and an understanding of who's the parent and who's the kid. Talking out problems and trying to EIY understanding the other person, wheth- er parent or child, could help a bad rela- tionship. It seems most parent-student relationships were okay but could be improved. Dana said, They Cher par- entsl could be better, but then again so could I. Giving me more independence and freedom would help our relationship a lot, said Sonia Villegas, a junior. Even though Dana, Vernon, and So- nia admitted their parents were not perfect, they described them Cparentsl as caring, understanding, and helpful. They also said they really loved their parents and felt they had communicat- ing relationships with them. In the end, it seems parents plus kids don't equal conflict, but unresolved problems and noncommunication do! Q ParentsfStudent Life 3 1

Concerts :Raise uclfzus Hey, how much did you pay f01' YOUT U2 ticket? I paid S525 for a 313.50 ticket and still only sat in the risers. This question is one that could be heard around the WHS campus right from the beginning of school to the end. Not only about U2 tickets, but also for Bruce Springsteen, Huey Lewis and the News, Oingo Boingo, Ratt, Wham!, Hall and Oates, and last but not least, Prince. Some people got a good deal on their concert tickets. Junior Ann Schuler said, When I went to see Bruce Springsteen at the L.A. Sports Arena, I paid S17 and I had seats right in the middle, floor lev- 77 el. Many students were so intent on get- ting tickets to see their favorite group that they would spend the night outside of their local ticketron and Ticket Master outlets. John Ewing was one of those people. In order to get good seats I had to spend the night with the 'party-til-you- puke' crowd, and I had to listen to many different types of music all night long. But the highlight of the whole thing is Watching the hard-core partiers, they make the whole adventure hilarious! Of course, besides the fun of getting the tickets there is the climax, the con- cert!!! By the time the U2 concert came around I was so excited that I couldnlt sit still all day! My friends kept telling me to calm down, but as soon as we were halfway to the Long Beach Arena they were just as spazzed as I was! said Jen- nifer Records. Some students went just to see the group, but others, what we call hard-core fans, dressed up like their favorite group member to see if anyone could out do them. When I went to see Adam Ant I saw all sorts of people. But, the one I remem- ber most looked EXACTLY like Adam Ant, and it was a GIRL!! said Suzanne Harris. At concerts there were always groups of people whose one intent was to get form their seats to the front rows by the stage, hoping to maybe get on stage. I wadded up two dollars in my hand like it was a lot of money and slipped it to the ticket checker. Before he could check to see how much money it really was, we were already up by the front of the stage. said senior Todd Reynolds. Around WHS, students and faculty alike could always tell when there had been a concert the night or weekend be- fore by the onslaught of T-shirts, key- chains, scarves, concert books and other group paraphernalia that concert-goers showed off to any halfway-interested person. What,s the point of going to the con- cert anyway if you don't have a t-shirt to wear and prove that you went? asked junior Michael Quattlebaum. When it all came down to it, students were willing to pay any amount of money to see their favorite groups. Tracy Penoncello said, I would pay any price to see Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones. No amount of money is too high!
