FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
By Dr James Dobson

TEENAGE ATTITUDE

How does a happy, cooperative 12-year-old boy or girl suddenly turn into a sullen, depressed 13-year-old?

There are two powerful forces that overtake our kids in the early pubescent years, and account for some of the strange behaviour that drives parents crazy. The first is social in nature, with incredible pressures being inflicted on adolescents by the peer group. But the second, which I think is more important, is hormonal in nature. We can see the effect of these hormones on the physical body, of course, but something equally dynamic is occuring in the brain. Human chemistry apparently goes haywire for a few years, affecting the mind as well as body. This internal upheaval will motivate a boy or girl to do things that make absolutely no sense to the adults watching anxiously on the sidelines. There's a tendency for parents to despair during this period of transition. Everything they've tried to teach their sons and daughters seems to have misfired for a couple of years. Self-discipline, cleanliness, respect for authority, the work ethic, even common courtesy may look like lost causes.


But there is good news. Better days are coming- I promise. That's why, perhaps the very best advice I can offer at this time is: don't look too quickly for the person your child will become.

it sounds comforting don't you think?
at least some adult we don't know can shed some understanding for us teenagers.
how i wish my mum could read it.
or actually, understand it.
lols.
Today has loads of news, and information.
like for example i've found out whats PSI.
not the rumoured , Please Stop Indonesians or Please Stay Indoors.
its actually Pollutant Standards Index or more commonly known as PSI.
its still up on our tv screens everyday.
=)
so i got bored of Today.
the only article that made me delighted, other than the one above, was the one on Saddam Hussein being passed the death sentence.
i bought The Newpaper.
and i found this page with someone's face that would delight LEOW YUE AN very much.
hahahs.
this person would be none other than Kim Jeong Hoon.
ok. yuean, this person is YUL.
hahahs.
his picture took up about one quarter of the news page.
he was in Taipei recently promoting skiing for the Korea Tourism Organisation.
that article just mentioned that he would not be stopping by Singapore to promote his album and would be holding concerts all around Japan.
(oh. what the heck.)
and btw, to lighten the atmosphere, his most dramatic anecdote was when he got chased out of the house naked when he was in kindergarten.
oh, poor thing.
=
and the sequel to Princess Hours is Prince Hours, starring Se7en.
he plays an extrovert restaurant worker who finds out he is a long-lost prince.
so he enters the palace and gets caught in a comedy of love and royal politics.
sounds interesting?
duh-

so i guess i'm done for the day.

Sylvia. Syl. And someone you'll never expect me to be.
