" The Teen Age Wasteland" by Tyler, Anne
An interesting story which grabbed my attention in way how parenting works to raise certain youth.
In
this story it describe how children behaves and ability to acquire some
sort of education. knowing that the story took place during 1970's it
was difficult to send their child rent to school where they can really
achieve good knowledge and be successful. Though this story mainly about
Donny, who was a young man trying to survive in "real" world. Donny's
really an irresponsible boy who have hard time learning in school. Donny
mom talks with principle and telling how Donny performance is lacking
good grade in class. He is very disruptive and not responsive in class.
Later on it seems that being asked to supervised about donny's home,
his grade gradually improved but his behavior no acceptable, because
donny could be a smoker or even drinker. As grade were extremely bad ,
he was provided a tutor by a psychologist who recommended. He was asked
to meet him few days a week for help that he wanted so that he can do
good in school. as this continue, the progress to help Donny to improve
his ability to do good in his class, he does not do good very well, it
seems the tutor didn't help, nor the supervised of his own mom.
Eventually his grade were really bad , his behavior really didn't
improved what's so ever and eventually he is expelled from school.
This tells how about how a children might end if not raised properly,
some parents have different way of raising and some not. For instance an
educated parent want to raise a children so that he can also be just
like the parents were raised, Educated, Well respected and honored, if
that same children don't raise as according he will end up on street
with other uneducated who drinks or smoke. also this explained to us
that we sometimes as children have our own responsible to look after.
Sometimes we have to deal with our own problem and no depend on parents
for everything. so in this came Donnie was supposedly not raised as
properly which caused this problem to occur on first place. which
ultimately result in bad reputation as kid and also the parent
