PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1964 FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith Girl Feels She Is “Coorting” Trouble THE WEEK’S LETTER: “Do all teenagers have serious prob lems? I believe I am in love with a boy older than myself, yet wonder if it isn’t just a physical attraction. We want, both of us, to further our education, but all be talks about is love and getting married, — love now, marriage later. I have been sneaking out to meet him, telling lies to my parents, who have been so good to me. He has even suggested I come and visit him when he is in another city. My better self tells me I am “courting’’ trouble. And, I wonder if I am too weak to use good judgment. He thinks his suggestions are all right as far as modern morals are concerned.” OUR REPLY: He wants you to think his suggestions are “all right.” He knows better and so do you. Each individual sets his own concept of moral behavior. Your problem is not unique. You are, indeed, “courting” trouble. And, each time you “sneak out,” tell a lie, or do something with which your con science does not agree, you are paying another installment on fu ture trouble and disappointment. “Modem morals” is a meaning less phrase. Right is right; wrong is wrong. It has been so since the beginning of time. The individual who breaks the law and gets caught, is certain to be punished for this offense. He may presefat what he considers a valid excuse when he has his day in court, yet the circumstances are not likely to be so extenuating that the judge will overlook the fact that the law has been broken and that he is required to pass sentence upon the offender. You have good judgment. Use it If roa Hat* a Imumt* problna yoa to discoM. w or an oboorration to addroaa roar Utter to FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS, COMMUNITY AND SUB URBAN PRESS SERVICE; FRANK FORT. XT. tOt AND ABOUT TEENAGERS By C. D. Smith THE WEEK’S LETTER: “Some times I ask myself, what is the matte? with teenagers today? I consider myself a normal, healthy, 15-year-old girl, with a marvelous set of parents. Oh, we sometimes argue. We wouldn’t be human if we didn’t—but twice a month is rare. My parents know much more than I, so when they speak, I listen. If more teenagers would try this, they would learn. Learn what you say? Mainly learn that your parents want to help you, not hinder you. You can learn right from wrong, learn to respect and to love. When my parents start to “holler” at me, I take it, apologize, then forget. It’s such a simple way of life. Whenever I get the urge to go against my parents, I stop and think. I really do love them and someday they won’t be around to be nice to. Why wait till that day to be sorry? Then it will be too late. Give this method a try, you teen agers; it has never failed me yet.” OUR COMMENT: Where could you find better advice? This letter was written by someone who has more-than-the-average 15-year-old wisdom and understanding. The teenager who has respect for the authority and the wisdom of par ents has taken a big step down the road to maturity and strength of character. Teenagers who re sent the authority and supervision that must be exercised by ^the right kind of parents are, in a way, refusing to grow up. They can’t seem to understand that just about every privilege that comes along has some responsibility con nected with it. Some teenagers want to be “free” to do whatever pleases them when it pleases them; in a sense “free” of any responsibility. If you have a teenage problem yoa want to discuss, or an observation to make, address your letter to FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS.
