appeared in on Etobicoke- newspaper entitled We want to clear up some teenager myths and signed by A group of concerned Grade students Collegiate In the letter that appeared their complaint of discrimination and generalisations that are made by the world while they the youngsters toil at low paying jobs loluntcerwork and babysitting for would not otherwise be able togo out was a cry from the heart and contained a fair amount of truth Enough that I felt compelled to respond in a column because 1 have wailed in vain to sec a subsequent letter from a teacher parent or employer substantiating their claims While admittedly a number of Irresponsible trouble makers amongst them so arc there also generous proportion of dropouts amongst the adult segment While it would not occur to us to condemn all Society as bad because of the actions of a few we have been too hasty In equating the label of teenager with trouble Think back a moment and consider if you would really want to lurn back the clock to relive those seven years again Sun thcinitialreaclionis hey never had it so good No taxes no responsibilities no mother in to satisfy whole world is before them Now go bey thai superficial glimpse and 1 daresay you would not exchange secure place in the world you hate forged for yourself with the stresses and uncertainty younp group has to face They are expected primarily to achieve school We their parents demand this of The majority hold down pan time jobs thus giung Ihem two main jobs they arc supposed to fulfil They are as though that were not enough trying to plan for futures in a currently shaky job market all while trying discover how they fit in with their peer group regarding friendships and acceptance For the youngsters who feels himself to be a little different one who docs not totally conform to group majority this can be a terribly painful time in his life They to cope a body thai is doing a of slrange unfamiliar things making them almost able themselves when looking in the mirror each day Try growing and putting on lbs in a short period of lime Heaven knows we adults have been subjected to enough sympathetic articles dealing with the middle aged male and female menopause but con the hormones be any more smilrrely time than they are during those teen I certainly would not want to fight the freedom battle ill over again That need to assert yourself as an individual that gradual development into adulthood with caring parents reluctant and afraid to let go because have hod lime sec the worst of this world as well as he best It never fails lo me how well these kids meet ihe challenge and these are the individuals who come from families who care about them Whal of he others who arc left directionless those who come from homes where the only thought is to get rid of A young boy freezes lo death incidentally only two miles from the home of a mother who has not seen him since he was two years of age happens to kids who arc bounced from one foster home another never having roots and consistent guidelines the troubled children from whom there Is never enough money help them straighten their heads Teenagers arc fun to be with They arc hones and genuine in their feelings They are probably the hardest working segment of society so lei us give credit where credit is due Newspapers arc in business to report news and unfortunately that usually covers the area of trouble So bend us some tellers kids If you do not have time between studying and working persuade your English teachers lo allow you lo make this a class project I am willing to bet there are quite a few who share my opinion of you after ill they see more of you than your do Let us hear about your friends who are doing something of value the teachers you admire the employers who treat you fairly about You con help us reverse our negative thinking by telling us something positive about your generation Let us dispel the myth and make It teenager
