stores that we shop in have
candy and magazines at the
front of the store right beside
the cash register, so that we
. can just pick up one as the
salesgirl is ringingour
groceries through. Another
thing about the candy at the
front of the stores isthat it is
never up high where the little
kids about 4 years old can't
see it! I can't imagine why! It

only stores that seem to trap
us: into giving: up our allow -
'tutees to: the. Infact, not
many of us, really de go into
the ,grocery stores unless
we're with our mothers and
then there's no way that we
can buy half of the "junk"
that we'd love to buy,' The
stores that teenagers seem to
spend the most time is in
places that sell records,
clothes, sports equipment,.
have pinball machines, and
restaurants! We don't need
records but, it's great to have
the newest records and' take
them to, your friends to listen
to.. Of course we get sick of
them after listening to them
for the sixty-third time in a
row! We don't need all of the
clothes that 'we buy although
it's nice to. have a. different
outfit every day of the week
with everything matching
including -our underwear. We
don't need a new pair of skiffs
every year but it's nice to
have a nice pair of skiffs to ski
with once or twice in ` the
winter. ` And we definitely
don't need to:0spendhour

Just think, of all of the money
read or watch everyday!
Think of your favorite break-
fast cereal. On the back, of
most cereal boxes there is
some sort of advertising
whether it be a set of pencils.
with your nameprinted on
them or a tripfor.two to the
Carribean. When you'resit-
ting at home alone eating
your Captian Crunch or Rice
Krispies you'll probably find
yourself reading, the back
and the side of the box either
purposely or absent-minded-
ly. It .always tells, you the.
same old thing.. "Exclusive;
Canadian Stationery offer,"
or "How would you like this:
unique, opportunity toown:
your own personal pencils or
pens with your name or
message imprinted right in
them in gold coloured letter-
ing! Great for school, great
for home, great for. fun,, great
for gifts." They always guar-
antee you something fab
Mous : and then send you
something', not anything like .
what you expected. For ten.
pencils youwould pay $1.50,
which sounds like a really
good price until you start
'figuring out that pencils only
cost around 1Oc each -that.
