The Family Council Editor's note: Tne F-mU Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, three clergymen, a newspaper editor a women's editor and two writers. Each article is a summary of an actual report. The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. - Smart TV Square . Mr. T. G. My wife and I are very much concerned about our 17-year-old son, Bob, who seems to be straying away from the best we have been able to 2ive him in his upbringing. tlT itrAvn nairfii" crTMftT V rP- : ligious, yet we tried to instill the fundamentals of religious faith and ethics in our chil dren. There are four others, both younger and older than Bob, and they have taken to these teachings. Some are less actively interested than oth ers, but none have taken Bob's attitude of sneering and mock ery. It is not purely the reli gious question that worries us. Bob scoffs at all morality. He gets very worked up about these things. It seems more than a case of adolescent re bellion. I'm afraid he's going to act on seme of his ideas and that would lead to trag edy. Robert G. My father has always considered himself a man of reason, but at the first hint of rational discussion he has threatened to run me out of the house. He expects me to be like my brothers and sis ters to follow blindly with never a hint of challenge. Well, I'm just not built that way. I always did think there was a lot of hypocrisy in my home and now that I'm old enough to evaluate what goes on I can see that my parents are really very confused, frightened and insincere. Here is the kind of thing I mean: my father is quick to condemn any man or woman who strays from the straight and narrow path as far as sex and marriage are concerned, but I have watched him look at some of my sister's friends in a leering way. Isn't that pretty miserable behavior from a holier-than-thou man? The Council Robert seems to be having some fairly se vere conflicts and we suspect that some of his worst diffi culties are not in the home at all, but are in the area of his social relations with boys and girls in his own age group. . The T. G.'s should . recog nize that rebellion is the weapon adolescents must use to find their own individuality and define their own person alities. If the youngster finds a lot of personal expression in school, hobby and social activities, his flare-ups at home are more likely to be widely spaced and not too in tense, . If the young boy or girl does not develop personal strength and importance through some objective activ ity, he or she is more likely to feel- crushed by powerful par ents. Such an adolescent is likely to feel ashamed of his parents and be very critical of them. He deeply resents his own smallness and weakness next to them and tries to pull them down from their exag gerated position of importance to him. It takes some clever maneu vering to " avoid getting in volved in such a youngster's trap. A child-parent feud can be created which last for years and serves as the young ster's only form of serious activity. We would recommend that the T.G.'s avoid acknowledg ing Robert's below-the-belt personal attacks, but that they show him they are interested in his finding his own under standing of life and morality through serious study and questioning. They should en courage him to read " more about his religion and take some of his questions to his clergyman. They should try to help him find his voca tional inclination and guide him into developing his abil ities. , (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.)
