a
i hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. i wish it were so. at your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. you should be learning how to stand on your own two feet. but take a look at the present rebellion. it seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at (attempting to seize) one another's hands for reassurance.
they claim that they want to dress as they please. but they all wear the same clothes. they set off in new directions in mussel. but somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. they have come out of their cocoon(蠶繭) — into a lager cocoon.
it has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. industry had firmly carved out a teenager market. these days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. and many of today's parents have come toward high marks for the popularity of their children. all this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
but the barrier is worth climbing over. the path is worth following. you may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. you may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. you may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. well, go to it. find yourself. be yourself. popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. that is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
