Teen-Ager, Present Day Scapegoat,
Should Receive Help Instead Of Yelps
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP) America in a strange land
where the old people are. forgotten and the young are de
nounced.
Right how the scapegoat of our times is "the teen-ager."
Practically everybody seems to be picking on him.
But as far as I can tell his basic crime consists in the
fact he is over twelve and hasn't yet reached the age of
20. He is in his teens, and that seems automatically to
make him a criminal suspect these days,
The teen-ager if t headline kid. I
according to the stock caricature
of hint now emerging. He dresses
like a bum, has the manners of
an ape and if you look into one of
his ears you can see daylight com
ing through the other ear.
He is a noisy, shiftless, full-time
freeloader off his parenls, or else
he earns his pin money selling
dope to nis high school buddies.
He is a hot rod driver. He and his
teen-aae girl friend spend their
evenings seeking panic thrills
Their favorite fun: smoking reef
ers, holding up filling stations and
dynamiting Sunday schools.;
It is all so familiar. Youth al
ways seems to be going to hell
in some kind of a wagon, or so
middle-aged people want to be
lieve. A generation ago the devils
of their day were the daring flap
per and her long-haired, baggy
pints boy friend, the cakeater. iiot
dog! Remember them? Every"
rumble seat had the reputation of
being a mobile laboratory for ex
periments in free love.

Well, it has come to the teen.
ager, and 1 think we are pretty
lucky to have him. we don t really
deserve him. Certainly he isn I
silly-looking or silly-acting as the
cakeater, and how the nation man
aged to survive that oddity in side
burns is the real mystery. I like
to believe that a lot of the people
wno now yelp so loud against teen
agers are just retired flappers and
cakeaters whd have forgotten their
own youth and become crusty
with the years.
The teen-ager of today was born
in a major economic depression
and reared in an atmosphere of
world vtar and international ten
sion. But, judging from the ex
amples I know, he is taller, heav
ier, atronger and more serious
than bia lather waa at the same
age. To me the amazing thing
about leen-agere isn't the percen
age of harum-scarum thrill-eeek-ers;
it is the number who are cau
tious and conservative.
Able Te Stand Strain
There may be a tendency among
them to expect more from life for
lesa effort. But they got that idea
from their parents, and it is the
goal of our century anyway.
I think one reason for the some
times frantic criticism of the teen
ager is the realization amonf
adults mat ineir world may hinge
in the next few years upon whether
the teen-ager can stand up under
strain.
He will. In Korea I met a sauad
who told me proudly about one of
their teen age members: "He car
ried and dragged a wounded buddy
40 miles across, the hills." There
are many teen-age infantrymen
like that L. Korea.
Crossing the teens is a peril
ous journey for any child growing
into mannood. He needs help not
yelps. If I were a teen-ager today,
I'd tell myself:
'Look, you middle-aged critics.
it isn't my fault I'm young or that
you are growing old. Go on and
make a better world yourself if
you can. But be mad at time,
not at me. I'm wise to you you're
just jealous of me."
