• ism* big fan of cartoonist Lynn Johnston
„whose cartoon "For Better, or°,vYorse"'is in
the London Free Presevery 'day. The
cartoonist takes' everyday, true-to-life hap -
penin s and portrays them in a way; that most
Canaan families can relate to. About a week
ago. her cartoon featured three ,little boys
going to school, The one little boy hadn't
completed his homework and his friends.were
bothering him about it, His• reply was that it
Myasn't his fault because his mother forgot to
nag him. •
Families always seem to.. be • down ,on
mothers because they "nag "., If a'child
doesn't make his bed, his mother keeps at
him until the bed is neat and tidy. That same
child may be nagged at to pick up toys. put
lego away, play soccer ou a instead of in
the house and many othe - 6heard of chores.
Can you imagine a moth having the nerve to
ask her children to hel do dishes? Unreal!
The requests that mo err make from their
families are not unju . Just a little dusting
here and there and a w other chores to help
is all that they are a king. So why do their
families insist that they are nagging when-
ever they tisk for a few favors?'

Recently senior high school students have
been trying toflgure.out ++There they will send
their universityInd college applications. In
just a couple of weeks, these applications will
have to be filled out and ready to go. It is a big
undertaking trying to decide what course
you would like to study. at what particular
college or university. At this time of life grade
12 and 13 students panic •and search
desPerately for the "perfect career". This
choosing-university-dilemna seems to come
on a person very suddenly and can be very
confusing.
To add to the confusion. the first set of
exams and report card marks are coming back
and these marks can totally frustrate a
student. A' student b' ng.tbrOugh high
school dao find hltg00114 eriielf struggling in

circumstances can lave 4 -,senior student

haa couple of years or at least months to
make up the carter decision. Students do net
need nagging now,but perhaps maybe a little
understanding and encouragement.
A mother or father nagging, a child to do
homework May actually help that child. Many
children need to be pushed in order to get
things done. However, children have to learn
to' complete assignments independently,
without a push from Mom or Dari.
Nagging can be defined differently by
many peVple. a small child may describe
nagging at someone bugging someone else to
do something. A child in grade . live may
consider nagging a way that parents and •
.children communicate. '
A teenager may view it as "parents poking
their noses -into your business." But when a
person looks back to the nagging that they
have experienced. they can see that it is not \
bugging, interfering or communication. but a l
way of expressing concern.
