In Search of the Adolescent Mind

Facial blemishes at a tender age shouldn’t be a lasting problem. If day dreams cause one to not turn the page that is a problem. Excess of any kind, to a point of distraction, should be amended. TV and computer time, cut short of satisfaction, will soften a problem. Practice of any useful kind, is never a waste of time or labor. Banter, exercise of the mind, is a blessing not a problem. The opposite sex, so mysterious it seems, should be discovered. Knowledge is delirious, but knowing in itself, is not a problem. Conflicts of sin and pleasure, young minds in emotional distress. No way to adequately measure ...when it begins to be a problem. Tell tale signs of peer pressure, no open display of hostility fostered. Falling grades, more time of leisure, sure signs of a growing problem. Charles says, listen to advice of older friends, and obey family rules. To, act on your own, not rolling the dice, is a way to avoid a problem. Adolescence © Apr 04 2010
