10, 1969. Rev. Moir A. Waters
officiated at the evening

The experts tell us, "It's
tough to be a teenager these
days," Well, maybe it is but I
'know what is even tougher. It's
being, the parents of one!
Mind you, the kids I can take.
It's the experts who get me
down.
They seem to take fiendish
delight in raking us parents over
the coals. The world's a mess •
we did it. The youth are
rebelling , • it's our fault.
According to them just about
everything we say, or do, or
think is wrong.
Don't believe a word of it . •
it's all balderdash.
Why, if we were to listen
seriously to what all these
self-called experts spout off we'd
end up as confused as bats in a
church.
One of these virtuosos I heard
within the last two years told a
group of parents, in very sharp
language, that we were being too
tough on our kids and worrying
too much about them. "No
young person," he informed us,
"should have any restrictions
placed on him or her after the
age of 13, What they'll learn
from their mistakes will do far
more for them than any advice
or restrictions you put upon
them," he ended up flatly.
Now, you have to admit his
plan has some merit. Besides, it's
a nice way out for parents.
However, should you decide
to follow his advice, be
prepared. For just when your 14
year old has got himself into a
nice kettle of fish-trouble and
you are consoling yourself about
what a good lesson he is
learning, another expert is sure
to pop up on the scene
immediately.
Waving his finger under your
nose accusingly he will thunder,
"Where in heaven's name were
you while your child was getting
into this mess. That's the trouble
with parents today . . . no time
to look after their children and
to see to it that they keep out of
trouble."
Surprisingly enough . . or
maybe not . . . most of these
well informed ginks are either
old enough to be OUR fathers or
so young that their own children
are still in that lovely,
comfortable age group between
one month and ten years.
What do they know? They
aren't in the front line of battle
like you and I.
Take it from me you and I
are about the best experts in the
field and we'd better start
believing it or we may be in
trouble.
One of these fellows, scarcely
dry behind the ears himself,
admitted quite openly that he
didn't even have one sibbling to
his name. Yet he had the
audacity to tell us old timers
with four or five or six that if
our children were smoking,
drinking or using drugs it was
because we parents were
smoking like chimneys, getting
stoned every Saturday night and
popping in so many pills that
our kids were confused.
"You are not communicating
with them," he also accused us.
Poppycock!
I deplore such generalization.
Most of my best friends are
parents.
Many of them do not smoke,
or are trying hard to kick the
habit to prove to their offspring
that they believe it is a
dangerous habit.
They are certainly not
coming home drunk every week.
Neither are they addicted to
taking ,pills.
As to communicating, most
parents are knocking themselves
out trying to understand their
children and have good
relationships with them.
I'll bet there is more dialogue
between oldsters and youngsters
than there has ever been,
I'm sure no group of parents
(of course, there are exceptions)
has ever been more earnest
about doing what's the right
things for their young people.
Maybe this is where we fall
short. Maybe we try too hard
and do too much for them.
When has there ever been so
many committees of puzzled
parents sitting together with
furrowed brows trying to
conjure up new ways to help the
young?
Young people sit around and
talk too.
One of the favorite topics for
these endless bull sessions is the
faults of the older generations,
parents in particular.
I know, I've heard them.
They are often aided and
abetted and even masterminded
by some of these 'experts' I've
been talking about.
Well, I'm sick of it.
It might just be to the young
people's advantage if they took
an inward journey and examined
themselves for a change.
I suggest to them and the
experts that when a young buck
is offered his first shot of booze
he does NOT say "Yes, thank
you very much, I will have a
shot. You see my old lady and I
are not communicating very well
these days." Morehap he is
thinking that if he doesn't
accept the drink he is going to
look pretty chicken in the eyes
of his friends.
"Everybody else is doing it,"
he thinks, "so why shouldn't I
try it?"
He starts because of the
pressure from his peers.
And let's face the facts.
Should he be hooked on any
of the 'social habits' mentioned
before it's because he hasn't the
courage or the integrity to stand
out from the crowd.
Youth likes to think it is a
great group of non-conformists.
They are, in fact, the greatest
conformists the world has ever
seen. Many of them, like sheep
led to the altar, follow blindly
along after their 'leaders'.
They can't always lay the
blame on their parents if they
mess up their lives. They've got
to start pulling up their own
socks sometime.
We all know people who
raised in homes with poor
relationships have turned out to
be first rate citizens and a credit
to themselves.
We also know others who,
brought up in good homes by
conscientious parents, turned
out badly. Why?
Partly because some have the
strength and stamina to make it
on their own.
Others just haven't got what
it takes.
Never have I been one to
knock young people. I love them
and have worked and lived with
them for 20 years.
Many of them are the
greatest. They have to be.
There's no doubt about it,
the job they have to tackle in
cleaning up the world is a tough
one,
Then for Goodness Sakes let's
not make it tougher for them by
brainwashing them into thinking
they can whine and pass the
buck everytime they make a
mistake and things go wrong.
Let's tell them to look
themselves and their world right
in the eye and be honest about
what they see.
Let's ask them to have the
courage to strike out at the proper
time when they see a wrong that
needs correcting. But let's try to
show them the stupidity of
causing a ruckus for the sake of
making a noise.
Let's teach them to obey the
laws we have now but to have
enough gumption to reform the
law where reform is needed
when they have the power to do
30.
Yes, it's tough to be teenager
and it's tough too to be a parent.
But maybe if we stop
listening to so many experts and
stop talking about each other so
much and just start using our
God given common sense we'll
get through 'these days'
together.
Mrs. Fred Dobbs brought
some information from the
Canadian Cancer Society to the
office which may be vital to
many readers. If you are not in
the habit of having a "Pap
Smear" taken by your family
doctor you may have this done
at one of the Cytology Clinics in
London. All you have to do is
make an appointment by
phoning 432-1137 London.
The Clinics are held as
follows: Tuesday at St. Joseph's
Hospital, 7 to 8 P.M.; Tuesday at
Victoria Hospital, 2 to 4 P.M.
Thursday at Victoria Hospital, 2
to 4 P.M. The cost is nominal.
