What Makes a Teenager?
The teenager of today makes jokes and laughs at himself. He always asks what he can do. He always gets the same answer-stay home, wash the car, read a book, etc. A teenager is happy, sad, silly, proud, and moody; he is fat, skinny, tall or short.

He is serious, senseless, independent, polite, understanding or thoughtless. A teenager is a lover of Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Sammy Davis, Jr. and dislikes work, school, and detentions.

He distrusts adults and confides in his best friends.
 A gleam is in the eyes of the teenager when he has passed his finals; when he is having fun; when he may use the car Saturday night; or when he knows he has many friends.

He becomes sad when the above statements are not true.

But most of all a teenager is a human being who has a full life ahead of him, knowing he will establish himself as a stable person on the face of the earth.
