For each of them there are four choices marked ABCand D.You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on theANSWEASHEET.Passage OneEver since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from otheradults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. We’ve heardeverything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’s a teenager ...” to theever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it thebest way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel theneed to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters.I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also bedifficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we carefor them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they setout on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, justwaiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respectthemselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them withkindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them.I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I seeeach person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. Forexample, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurantand two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my firstthought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These youngmen were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond thejeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what finepeople these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappyabout the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless wegive them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain.
