What They Want From Parents

IN stolen car.
A Cincinnati girl sums up resent
ment over the sensation stereotypes
this way: Some people think that
'teen-ager' and juvenile delinquent
mean the same thing. l think that's
why we do have a tendency to rebel"
This attitude is also mirrored in the
fact that Al per cent of the kids named
"Daddy-o" as favorite slang express
sion. That was the flip word used by
students in Blackboard Jungle" to
express their rebellion against their
teacher, Mr.. Dadier.
The young people themselves refuse
to romanticize the few delinquents
among them. They describe them
with simple contempt; phrases like
"a smart aieck. 80" someone who
likes 10 show off, -" "a young punk
who does what he wants if he thinks
he can ger away with H.'
There's no doubt about it, teen
ayers do resent having the delinquent
label pinned on their whole group.
But this resentment only partially
explains the dominant youthful atti-
tude. In considering how teen-agers
judge each other we must also see
how they judge adults.
Where Parents Come In
To check this we presented again
the same set of law-breaking Incl
dents listed on Page 9, but this time
we asked the young people to imag-
inc themselves as parents instead of
judges. Here, the majority Of re-
sponses show concern over the reason
causing the misbehavior rather than
its punishment. And in discussing
juvenile delinquency, most of the
answers stress the importance of love,
sympathy and understanding. That,
according to our findings; IS where
the parents come in. and where, un-
fortunately, too many of them are
failing miserabIy.
Some 86 per cent of the teen-agerS
pin the primary cause of delinquency
on an unhappy and poorly adjusted
home life. Many say kids start run
ming around in gangs only when they
lack a feeling of belonging to their
own family.
Not for na<icIks'
Interestingly enough, not a single
teen-ager traces lawlessness to a desire
for thrills" or ''for kicks" And no
one lists comic books, gangster
movies or TV crime shows as a spur
to crime.
A solid SO per cent think juvenile
delinquency can be controlled by par
ents who love their children and guide
them competently. A l4-year-old
New York boy says: More love and
realaiection in the home are needed
but those aren't enough. There must
be guidance, too"
When it comes to guidance, So per
cent Of the youngsters complain that
their parents are too strict. Here the
youngsters make subtle yet tremen-
Evening star., 1955-11-27

~H&ub VbNtSbNs Sutrtey ttototuks TO
dously important distinction between
supervision and strictness. We feel
this is the most significant single con-
cept that the teen-aeers expressed
among all the questions relating to
discipline.
The replies make clear that young
people wanf more guidance and super
vision from their parents. But, hav-
ing such guidance, young people then
want the freedom to work out their
destiny by themselves - even though
they agree that they must pay for it
if they are wrong.
They want to do their own think
ing and to make their own decisions
within reasonable limits. They want
this within a framework of the secu-
rity and affection Of thoughtful par
entail advice.
Girls Are Reseneful
1t is interesting to note that about
30 per cent more girls than boys feel
that parents severely limit their free
dom. Many Of the girls responses
show open resentment. They feel
they lose privileges simply because Of
their sex. This resentment can well
become contributing factor to delin-
quency. a desire to live it up" as
soon as girl leaves the strict juris-
diction Of her home.
Summing up, there is no doubt
that young people are ready to face
up to the sometimes exaggerated, but
nevertheless, very real problems of
juvenile delinquency. By and large,
the teen-agers demonstrate that they
want responsibility, are prepared to
assume il, and are ready to pay for
the abuse of it. Bur their parents
must help them, TOO.
