Dialectic journal-school daze


Quote:
"When the youngsters of your culture graduate from school (unless their families continue to
take care of them), they must immediately find someone to give them money to buy the things they need
in order to survive. In other words, they have to find jobs. You should be able to explain why this is so."

I think that at the age of 13-14 that they say know things don't completely know a lot they have more things to pass through,barely taking that next step but scared to take it completely. And just act tough and that they do know a lot and everything for there age just to look good in front of other people and especially there parents, saying i don't need your help I can do it on my own, I'm not a baby no more I can take care of myself, and blah blah blah. But us as the teenagers know that it's all the opposite we do need a lot from our parents and that we are constantly asking them for things that we want need or just saw something at the moment you liked and just make up excuses of why you need it but we only say lies to get our way,which sometimes don't work but it's worth a try. The thing is that at some point or our whole life's growing up as an adult were going to need our parents for something or just any little thing or what to wear etc.So the point is we don't know everything as teenagers,We need someone there.

  2. Hello Jeanette,
    I, too chose this quote and I like how you had a different opinion on this. This quote honestly didn't make me think of the independence of children, thinking they can do things on their own, until I read your blog. Now, I can see the connection between the quote, and the things you've mentioned in your blog.

  3. I really made the connection with your response because I understand where you're coming from. Because we do need someone there to help us. Great response.
