delito ricti A TEEN AGE PROBLEMS One of the problems that most teenager lace today is finding jobs for their spare time. When a person is under eighteen and going to school, there are so many restrictions concerning jobs that it is nearly impossible to find work. When there is no work lor teenagers, they have too much free time and are apt to get into serious trouble. All these laws were made years ago to keep children out ol sweatshops, factories, and mines, but now I believe many provisions of these laws are no longer necessary and should be changed. I think we should still have laws to protect teenagers, but not so strict. In some states the boys or girls can not even work lor their parents without going through a lot of red tape. Some remedies have been found to combat this, but they are not sufficient. I think the age limit should be lowered to fifteen with the consent of the parent or guardian. 7 his would help some students finish school whose families could not afford to send them through. II they could work, they could pay their own way. Definitely something should be tlone about these restrictions. Herbert Whitman If we had more recreation, there would be less it would be much better for the younger folks. getting into trouble and Peter Cox Sometimes the parents are the cause of delinquency. If the children’s parents drink and never stay at home, how can their children be expected to do what’s right? Most delinquents do not go to church or Sunday school and never have been. Kaye Ring Teenagers in this town think it is foolishness to go to church or church socials; they are afraid some one will make fun of them. But where could they go and have any better time than to church socials? L. Farnum Most ol the trouble among teenagers is caused by idleness. The reason most young people tangle with the law is because they have nothing else to do. N. Waterhouse In movies and comic books too much emphasis is put on the ideas and emo- tions ol criminals. Teenagers read these books and see these movies and want to be big shots like the criminals. H. Emery Some people look upon every teenager as a juvenile delinquent. I don’t think this improves the actions of the teenagers. Some feel that if they are going to be accused of doing something anyway, they might just as well take part in it. J. Chase If one teenager out of a hundred goes speeding through a red light or stop sign, the whole town calls the teenage group a bunch of hot rodders; or if a boy playing baseball breaks a window, they are a gang of outlaws. A man of forty very olten goes through stop signs or breaks some one’s garden fence down, and nothing is said about the matter. R. Davis To help younger boys and girls to get jobs, 1 think that the local community should get together with the employers and work out some practical scheme for part time employment. C. Martin
