. Give Teenagers Chance To
• Be Young
Why can't a boy or girl be
just average today? Why do
they have to be the best in ev-
erything? The answer is so=
clety.
Society sets a certain stan-
dard that everyone is expected
ter folio*. The people who don't
conform are considered differ -
A sick man got well. • "It
would do your heart good," his
wife said, "just to hear him eat
again."
eat, a dirty word in society to
day. I'm tired of conforming to
society and the status is sets.
The biggest status symbol to-
day is college. You MUST go
to one and, if possible, the big-
gest and the best. Today many
of us are not meant for col-
lege either mentally, physically,
or emotionally. ° College only
adds to the pressures society
has already set.
Adults are constantly " telling
us that the teenage rate for
suicide and the addiction to nar-
cotics and alcoholism keeps in-
creasing. Why? The pressures
of living up to adult's expecta-
tions almost force them into it.
They can blame themselves.
It seems as if. adults are try-
ing, to push us out of our teen
years. BVhat's the rush. They
will go fast enough as it is. I
just wish they would leave us
alone and let us grow -up by'
ourselves.
