A teen-ager recently said, "I don't go much for this platonic stuff." When asked why, he said, "I guess I'm too much of a wolf." When asked what he meant by being a wolf, he said that he was interested only in making love to a girl.
At times Jeff wanted to get off drugs and had told his mother that he wished he had never started taking drugs, was a little boy again and could start life all over. There is a struggle going on in the minds of every young teen-ager. At times he is a carefree person but then at other times he tries to act grown up or feels that he knows what he should do and the path he should walk.
From the tractor shed came the sounds of an engine spluttering, racing, backfiring and then, just idling. When Hetty drove back into the ranch yard an hour or so later, Johnny was rodeoing the farm tractor around the yard like a teen-ager, his face split in a wide grin. She parked the truck under the tree as Johnny drove the tractor alongside and gunned the engine, still grinning.
There was a rediscovery of the truth, that salvation is not by ritual or works, but by faith in Jesus as our Saviour." My grandson, I will close these instructions to you, as well as to all who read them, with a prayer for each one. As a teen-ager I found that it paid to live for God.
The fish sandwiches arrived, and Joe watched the toddler with an ice cream cone in Honolulu, the girl veering her bike into a Maine hedge, the teen-ager leaving home, the Seattle executive as she took a large bite. "Mmmm," she said with her mouth full, "mmm Ivar's." "Have you heard from Maxie lately?" she asked. "Not for a couple of months. He's still in New Zealand."
She was nearly six feet tall and broad across the shoulders. Her hands were as big as his. Not the happiest of campers, he said to himself. He went back to thinking about Victor Sperandeo's book. As a teen-ager, Trader Vic made a living playing cards in New York. Then he moved into the big casino on Wall Street. His book was straight exposition, written without pretense.
Stand up, Cindy. She married when she was a teen-ager. She had four children, but she had time to serve other people, to get her high school equivalency and she's going to use her AmeriCorps money to go back to college. Steven Bishop is the police chief of Kansas City. He's been a national leader stand up Steve.
"What you mean, I think, is that you think I'm too young for you. It's a compliment, really. Men have trouble saying what they think, sometimes." She seemed pleased, like a teen-ager. "What are you studying?" Joe asked. "Buddhism. I have a doctorate in comparative religion. I was a pastor for a while and then I worked at a seminary. I was canned." "Fired?" "Yup.
And yet, for all their likeness, they were different. Bart sipped the cold Lhari drink, seeing himself in the mirror behind the refreshment stand; a tall teen-ager, looking older than his seventeen years. He was lithe and well muscled from five years of sports and acrobatics at the Space Academy, he had curling red hair and gray eyes, and he was almost as tall as a Lhari. Will Dad know me?
I have no idea what their party affiliation is or who they voted for in the last election, but they represent what we ought to be doing. Cindy Perry teaches second-graders to read in AmeriCorps in rural Kentucky. She gains when she gives. She's a mother of four. She says that her service inspired her to get her high school equivalency last year. She was married when she was a teen-ager.
