Two-Woy Respect

Evidently the strength Of the
relationship between child and
parent is more important to
discipline than the form of
punishment. If there is a two

slight verbal censure can carry
weight.

Disobeying the Biblical law
ito honor thy father and
mother" is regarded by many
people as the first step along
the road to delinquency.
And parents are as much to
blame in this as the children,
they say, because they fail to
enforce discipline.
Asking nearly TOO teen-agers
around the country what they
had tn say about j. We learned
/. More than four out OF
five said their parents do dis
cipline them in one way or an
other.
2. The rod is still used ex-
tensively on young Americans.
Almost one-third Of the young
sters quizzed said Nom and
Dad either slap or spank for
misdeeds.
8. Abusing privileges is the
number one reason for punish
ment, with staying out too late,
doing poorly in school and
failing to do the chores fol-
lowing closely.
4. The youngsters resent pun
ishment. But then as one wise

Poor grades In school are the
chief cause for Ala per cent
of the youngsters and gold
bricking on household chores
for 1876 per cent Of them.
Looking into the future, 36.3
per cent admit it may be
necessary for them to punish
their own children. But 51.2
per cent do not intend to
use their parents method
figure which correlates very
closely with the 59.6 per cent
who say they resent the type
of punishment inflicted on
them.
what I resent is that my

boy. $50 sometimes I figure I
may as well go whole hog

ignores you part of the time.
He never calls you up. If you
go to a dance together he never
walks you home, although he
does condeScend to dance with
you sometimes"
1t appears to me that you
would be just as well of if you
went to the school dances with
a group Of girls since you prob
ably would get to dance some
times" with other boys.
My advice is first to try to
realize you are too young to go
steady. You see, you have
proven this yourself by putting
up with the boys treatment
and showing you do not know
how to handle this situation
wisely. In my opinion. you need
dating experience and should
go out with a variety of nice
boys and it seems your so-called
steady needs to learn a great
deal about dating. too.

settle for immoral behavior you
would not hold these particular
boys interest for very long and
a decent boy wouldn't want to
date a girl who had been every

run you would still be lonely
