parents complaining that their teen-age children

 

 I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling. I wish   were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a look at the present rebellion. It seems that teen-agers are talking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another’s hands for reassurance.
 They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowed round listening to the same record. They have come out of their cocoon-into a larger cocoon.
 It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn form the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many today’s parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or hers own path.
   But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to the classical music instead of gong to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thought that you don’t care to share at once with your classmate. Well, go to it is. Find yourself. Be yourself.
   Popularity will come, with the people who respect you’re for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that counts.
