Lesson 34-1 Adolescence 青春期

Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and

regard it as a slur on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish

enough to let the adolescents see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of

disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about the friends' parents. Such a loss of

dignity and descent into childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the

adolescents, and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents

about the places or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining

that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that

they have brought this on themselves.
