different times. The last three
from Virginia just left with tfaeir
parents. While the parents attend

tried to entertain them.
Most of the time they were con

they rode bicycles and tricycles
down a bam hill and on a lane.
The speed scared me but not them.
The many bam cats were a big at
traction too.
One day we took them fishing
at a lake in the county. The oldest
caught a nice catfish and all of
them enjoyed guiding the boat
with an electric motor. I was left
on shore as four in a boat was the
limit. In an hour ! caught seven
small fish and threw all of them
back. At least only three earth-

Adults have no monopoly on
stress. Adolescents are particular*
ly prone to stressful pressure from
peers, parents, teachers and out
side events.
All that stress, however, is not
necessarily bad.
Stress is simply our body’s re
action to any situation or event
that frustrates, endangers, excites
or confuses us. Parents need to
help their teens distinguish be
tween negative stress and the
stress that is good for them the
kind that makes them geared up
and excited about living.
What types of negative stress
are teenagers feeling? Teens often
mention pressure to make good
grades in school Other stressful
situations include family hassles
over the use of the car, unfinished
jobs, curfews, and choice of
friends, clothes and social activi
ties. The divorce or separation of
parents can be stressful, as can be
the illness or death of a family

grouchiness, crying,, sleepless

sion provides the following point
ers for adults who are dealing with
teenagers under stress:
• Remember that adolescence is
not an easy time of life. Teens of
ten go through dramatic physical
and mental changes in a short per
iod. Fortunately, most teenagers
enjoy life and are happy with
themselves most of the time.
Nearly everyone, however, has a
few bumpy times as they progress
through their teen years.

not be well-prepared for a world
where they are constantly required
to make decisions for themselves.
Teenagers need opportunities to
be in charge of their lives and
practice problem solving and deci
sion making.
’ Many parents find it helpful to
give teens greater responsibility
for decisions in non-dangerous
areas, such as selecting clothes or
bedtimes, while retaining control
over important or potentially
harmful situations. Parents may
have to change their style of par
enting to allow their teens to be
come more independent and re
sponsiblle for their own lives.
