1/8/15

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.





Although the judge mentioned in the clipping presents a cohesive argument that is valid and is based on his personal experiences, the article itself presents too idealistic of an image of what a teenager should be. In my opinion teenagers should go out into the world and attempt to make a difference instead of simply waiting for others to help them achieve goals, however I also believe that as adolescents, teenagers should still receive help from others. Without the support and guidance of adults, teenagers' actions are often wrongheaded and lead to consequences. The judge presents an extreme ideology, one that I can partially agree with but also one that needs to be more grounded in reality.
