This link is in reference to the part on page 21 about how teens need to have the conversation about sex with their parents.
This picture is how society sees teens today.Young, niave, and all together, judging each other and making faces that are suggestive or angry. Hines says that the teenager is paitined in societies image of them. This image being parties and unawareness of the world around them.

Hines says that we are always becoming but never mature. Even parents have teen tendancies.
Parents with tattoos and going to parties is taboo and frowned upon, yet still common today. The balance is off Hines suggest in adults judging teens with they themselves have not yet matured.
such as the idea of talking about sex with their kids, awkard and uncomfortable, yet their the damn parent suck it up and speak.
This seems to be the attitude of teens as suggested by Hines, yet they have not perfect the not caring part. Each person young or old still yearns for acceptance.
I like the examples you chose... did you know you can also add a gadget called a link list like a blog roll if you ever want to do this style blog again?
ReplyDeleteThanks for catching up on Raby.
Hey Brooke!
ReplyDeleteFirst, when you're editing your post there's a little thing next to the photo image that looks like a film thingamabob. It's black and white. Anywho, if you click that you can embed the youtube video right into your post (and that way you can get points for having a youtube video! As right now it probably just counts as a link)
I like the images you chose for this post.
I do agree that sometimes parents just need to "suck it up and speak". It's sad when they allow their past to interfere with their child's. If they did drugs and partied that doesn't mean their kid will BUT if you never talk to them how will you find out what they're thinking? I think an open and honest parent/teen relationship is the best way to go but I do recognize not every parent has the personality for that. Especially if they feel shame about their own past life.
I think your conclusion is spot on. We all yearn for acceptance. It's human nature. Or, even if it wasn't natural before it has now become naturalized. We want to know that we mean something. That doesn't change whether we're 5, 15, or 55! Maybe at 115 it doesn't matter because living that long makes you a BAMF.
