Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.
After reading this newspaper clipping, I feel as if John Tapene expects more from teenagers than we can give. The world shouldn't have to rely on us to do good. Yes, I agree that we should do good deeds and help others but it shouldn't be consume all of our time. The teenage years are when we're supposed to make mistakes, learn from them, and figure out who we are. How are we supposed to know our likes and dislikes and what we're wanting to do as an occupation when we get older if we are just doing chores and helping others? It's the time of our lives that we do make mistakes, but we have our parents to help us out in a time of need. We're not supposed to be responsible, we're supposed to make mistakes, be selfish, and push the limits. It's the time in our life where we are able to do those things. We have the rest of our life to work and be responsible.
