Words for Teens
I found this on a website and thought wonderful words of wisdom. Not all young people will need this but we all know somebody that this might help. WORDS FOR TEENS.... Northland College principal John Tapene has offered the following words from a judge who regularly deals with youth. "Always we hear the cry from teenagers "What can we do, where can we go?" My answer is this: Go home, mow the lawn, wash the windows, learn to cook, build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study your lessons, and after your've finished, read a book. Your town does not owe you recreational facilties and your parents do not owe you fun. "The world does not owe you a living, you owe the world something. You owe it your time, energy and talent so that no one will be at war, in sickness, and lonely again. In other words grow up, stop being a cry baby, get out of your dream world and develop a backbone not a wishbone. Start behaving like a responsible person. You are important and you are needed. It to late to sit around and wait for somebody to do something someday. Someday is now and that somebody is you." Nov 14 12 09:37 am Link ok....and this relates to photography, how? Nov 14 12 10:24 am Link I'm sure this would be considered General Industry if this was a Parent/Teen Counseling site. But considering MM is for the modeling industry and perhaps 1% of the membership is under 18, I'm not sure who you think your audience is. Edit: I did learn something though. I never knew colleges had Principals. "Northland College Principal..."? Nov 14 12 10:29 am Link Pfrangle Images wrote: Stop beating him. Sharing words of wisdom with fellows is a good thing. I really don't understand why you people told him to shut up. Nov 14 12 10:33 am Link Martin-Manuel Beaulne wrote: I've yet to see a comment telling the OP to "shut up." I did see a couple posts questioning the relevance on a photography site targeted to adult industry professionals. Nov 14 12 10:36 am Link The first sign of aging is not wrinkles or grey hair. It's the first time you find yourself saying with disdain "damn kids these days..." That's when you know your mind has aged. Aging and maturing are two different things. Aging excludes, maturing embraces. Nov 14 12 10:37 am Link Patchouli Nyx wrote: Easy fix... Use CAM and ask for it to be moved to off topic.
