Council report! on problem! that
have been dealt with by reiponlible

Linda T. I am so lonely.
Mrs. E. T. She resents my
help.
Linda T. Mv problem is
i: T 10 .J 1 . I
luueiiiie&a. x am id nuu nave
no real friends. I often cry my
self to sleep and I take long,
long walks by myself, trying
to figure out how I can be
come more popular.
Recently I was crying my
aelf to sleep when my mother
came into my room. She ask
ed why I was crying and I
told her. Since then she has
been trying to help me with
the problem, but I wish she
wouldn't. She only embarres
ces me by trying to get some
of the girls in the neighbor
hood to take me into their
crowd.
I am considered quite pret
ty and Intellgient. Is it pos
sible that the girls don't like
me because I'm too pretty and
the boys don't because I'm too
smart?
Mm. E.T. It breaks my
heart to see Linda so unhappy.
I know what she is going
through because I, too, had a
very lonely youth. I had few
friends or dates until my mid
208. I never formed a pleasant
friendship with any male un
til I met my husband and I
didn't have good friends
among women until after I
was married.
I expected different things
of Linda because she was
friendly and outgoing as a
child. It's only in the past
year that she has become so
moody. I do believe the girls
are Jealous of her because she
is exceptionally pretty. Her
high grades in school may
well put off the boys.
I only want to help her, yet
she resents anything I try to
do.
.
Th Council: Parents of
teen-agers are put to some
rugged tests. It is important
for them to be very alert to
what is going on with their
youngsters, yet they should
also use enough diplomacy
to avoid probing or lending a
hand when a policy or non
interference is needed.
Mrs. E. T. displays far too
much anxiety about her
daughter and has succeeded
in convincing Linda that
things are quite bad indeed.
AMnallv a feeline of loneli
ness is quite common in adol
escence. It is the time when
the child first sees himself
emerging as an individual in
the world. There is both joy
and sadness in this recogni
tion and most youngsters
fight to preserve this sense
of "aloneness" they also be
moan. Many boys and girls
with fairly active social lives
feel very lonely at heart.
Teen-agers often cry them
selves to sleep for many
vague reasons. A little parent
al comforting is certainly not
amiss, but it is poor policy
to encourage this self-pity by
giving it more status that it
deserves. It would be far bet
ter for the parent to take a
cool, good-humored look at
the situation and get the child
4n ronnaivf that if he has a
real problem, he must take
some active measures 10 soive
It himself.
In the realm of social rela
tionships, it is quite futile for
an adult to attempt to solve
a child's problems. Children
and adolescents deeply resent
adult encroachments into this
territory and will give a hard
time to the child whose par
ents try to push into the
crowd.
lrwrv tppn-naer can win ac
ceptance into some group. It !
is mainly a matter or learning
that they must contribute
something and go out to oth
ers not stand on the sidelines
,.,ollno in hp asked. Prcttiness
and smartness have little to
do with popularity, in social
.pipiinnchina it's the ability
iiirp others that counts
most. This knack eliminates
self-consciousness ana concern
Ibout being liked.
