Young Peoples Attitudes
As we think together about what our
children take to school in terms of attitudes,
beliefs and feelings, it might be well to think
about some attitudes which the older students
have developed about themselves. In par*
ticular, let’s think about some of their atti
tudes which seem to set them at odds with
their parents and other adults.
The need of the young people to be like
other people in dress, action and language is
nothing new. Each generation can remember
*«; those “way out” clothes, expressions and cus
toms that were in fashion when they were teen
agers. If we were to follow history back as
far as we have any records, we would find these
changes during adolescence. This present time
has put a phrase to this time of child - parent
conflict calling it a “generation gap.” Yet
back in the time of ancient civilizations people
were experiencing these same trials.
One very touchy subject between parents
and young people today is that of clothing
and hair length. The young people complain
that they are judged and often misjudged be
cause they have long hair or dress in “hippy
type” clothing. Their attitude is that too
much emphasis has been placed on “conform
ity” and “bathing" and “lapels”. This atti
tude is their own way of “conforming” to the
adolescent code of today. One adolescent
remarked to me “I’m the most conforming
non-corformist in town!” This showed me
that he had intellectually recognized the prob
lem but his feeling was that he HAD to do
what other adolescents were doing.
i Another attitude that some young peo
ple have that sets them at odds with their par
ents and other adults is their thinking that they
cannot do work which is in line with their status
as students. Parents, who know the value of
learning and experience, feel that some job
would be good for their child. A stude it can
work only part-time and usually cannot expect
full time employment or pay equal to that of
experienced workers. But often students will
not take some jobs because they feel the job
t is too “menial” or is not good enough for them.
This attitude of being older, more experienced
^ and more valuable not only is a “cop out” (an
excuse) but it is also unrealistic. This attitude
could be the result of many years of being allow
ed to be dependent upon the parents. Too
many parents make no work demands on their
children, then they wonder why the children
have the attitude mentioned above.. If a child
has lived “like a prince or pincess” for the first
fourteen or sixteen years of their lives, it is not
surprising that they see themselves as being
above a job such as pumping gasoline in a ser
vice station, or boxing groceries in a super-mark
et, or putting tags on dresses in a department
store.
Another area of dissention between
young people and their parents is that of de
ciding when they can go out and how late they
can stay. The young people feel that they are
now old enough to decide these things for
themselves. They want to be responsible for
themselves! Parents and other adults, who
feel the young people have not proven them
selves, are often reluctant to give them this
responsibility. If thev are not given responsi
bility how will they learn how to handle it?
On the other hand, if the young person breaks
trust with his parents it takes a long time to
regain that trust.
In all these areas there are two sides but
in all situations we are talking about people and
their attitudes. The adults should give the
young people the opportunity to make some
mistakes; and the young people should try to
make as few mistakes as possible. Someplace
I read a poem in which the thought was: It is
not bad to make mistakes but to repeat the mis
take is foolish. Perhaps this says something to
both parents and young people in these touchy
areas of adolescence.

Many freeways have three
lanes: A left lane, a right lane
and the one you’re trapped in
when you see your exit.

Television: A machine that
offers people who don’t have
anything to do a chance to watch
people who can’t do anything.
You’re an oldster if you went

Economy Plus
What I like about those for
eign - type passenger cars —
they’re economical. When you
go out with another couple, you
use their car.
The way to a woman’s heart
is through your pocketbook.
Woman Mover
The little man was pushing
his cart through the crowded
aisles of the big supermarket.
“Coming through,” he called
merrily. No one moved.
“Gangway,” he shouted. A
few men stepped aside.
He ruefully surveyed the
situation, thought a minute, and
shouted:
“Watch your nylons.”
