i'm telling you the vice principal had a lesson that long plunking lying fighting threatening a school project you could wait until i finished now the next time the vice principal calls about that one you'll have to go after all is your the least you can do is project i speak to you alone for a moment i guess don't interrupt your in enough trouble as it is it's your mother's fault he's no good letting him run wild never caring what he was doing while he was living with nik you did a pretty good job so it's my fault for how our son turned out alright how do you it's hard to grow up if a teenager has extra problems emotional or social it's even harder kids like this not wanted by any other group or anyone else much tend to hang out together kids like joe martin he's hardly ever seen his mother's sober or fred hammer his father is in prison kelly yes the show off all the time try to get attention is aaron's a debt he lives with his older sister to her he's just another mouth to feed in our large family every jackson gets too much spending money from his people money never any of the time and jerry phillip's rejected by his step mother let down by his father  in our city many men and women are dedicated to changing that outlook some give their time and their money to support the work of many organizations and their skilled professional workers like bud williams group work specialists with years of intensive training and experience the schools give them names of potentially delinquent boys his job is to help these youngsters satisfy their teenage need to be the last to get rid of some of their resentment against the w group with your supervisor to take advantage of the experience of other group workers you don't want to fail these kids you've got to prove that you're one grownup they can trust that you mean it when you say to him i and then surely your patience pays off they go with you to a playground but they don't play baseball or anything else according to the rules they have to clown around to cover up their fear of sa man call and i still say your checked luggage the only way i want that nice is when you find out you don't need it you have to be careful how you handle it you have to be honest and admit the kids did get out of the line but you try to work it so they can leave without losing face the guys have been kicked out of playgrounds before but they've never had an adult leave with them you prove something you're on their side you're beginning to measure often their eyes met and we never even got t so i guess we'll have to use the clubhouse for our next meeting one meeting the regular friday meeting if you guys get a better idea they do keep that date the following friday injury and they give the clubhouse alonso at first they're plenty wary looking for a joker in the set up so if they like anything here they'll never admit it you know they might take a powder and second and you wait not push and you know there's one thing here they might go you started this club in the months that follow you get to know the boys pretty well and many staff conferences you work on their problems and you're beginning to understand them better in time they give the club a name plenty sharp one too giving it a name is a big step forward now they've accepted it they're proud of it they belong but that doesn't mean that everything is sweetness and light what do you think you know i swear you're getting to be more of a hoodlum every day just look at that shack do you know how much money is shared cost these days this son of yours has been fighting again look at his shirt can i tell you about part of his part of  go to your room and get a decent share this minute did he pop or no father no matter how much he wants peace in his family can rest easily after getting a look like that from his son he needs help you listen to your questions guide having someone to talk to helps him to see his problem more clearly to realize he must  attendance at meetings has been pretty regular you had the boys out in the station wagon on hikes into the movies but underneath it all is something more important the kids are beginning to learn the feeling of friendship and trust each other and toward you and adults sometimes the boys are able to talk out their anger and frustration instead of wrecking everything in sight they take you into their pla plans that you're glad listen to him go along they finally got around to thinking of electing office is such a customary procedure for a club and that's what makes it important it's customary  they want me to run for signs of arms down at the regal good for you i've been thinking about that kind of his beliefs or look if you think about it too he shouldn't be allowed to associate the elections today you heard what your father said is really going to have it this is serious fellows yeah let's do something let's go find  jerry i'm not putting up with any of these goings on another minute that's one of us has got to go not so fast mabel first i want to hear what brought this on sending me back to grandma you just said i don't you realize it's not so much jerry's false now you're blaming me please i'm blaming myself just as much for no injury everybody in my family gets is when you find out you don't
