An article in the Teen Tribune tells how a 3-year-old black bear was captured at an elementary school in Bakersfield. The bear was first seen wandering around on school property and it not only interrupted the last day of school but, also a graduation ceremony that was being held at a middle school close by. The bear spotting caught everyone by surprise and soon all students that were outside were sent back to their classrooms as the bear started to come closer. And even though the bear kept its distance and nobody was in harm’s way, the authorities were called. It didn’t take long for the officers to get there, and when they did they cornered the bear, captured it and released it into the wild.

In the article “ A Tale of Two Summers for Parents” by Belinda Luscombe, she is giving her point whether she needs a babysitter or an a adult supervision. In this case, if a child is left alone without adult supervision the mother would be arrested. Even though the author disagrees of being arrested and living their children alone, I believe that a children that is under the age of 10 need adult supervision.

In “Teenage Wasteland,” Tyler did a good job of describing the struggles and lifestyle of a teenager. Tyler did this well because she showed the common issues with teens and explained how the mom attempted to correct her kid’s path in life.

It’s safe to say “A mother knows best” is a saying you’ve all heard before. Yet, during the transition from childhood to adolescence, each individual mystically turns into this evil and traitorous creature, called a “teenager”. During that time, a majority rebel, others will grow to be defiant and some even pick up an attitude, here and there. Yet, collectively, they all swear that their parents know nothing and that they somehow encompass the knowledge of the world in roughly 13-17 years. Realistically speaking, without your parents you wouldn’t know right from wrong, your left foot from your right, or even how to tie a shoe.
Although the Declaration of Independence advocated for a society with equality and basic rights for all humans, the newly created America of the 17th and 18th centuries seemed to forget about giving rights to a large group of people: women. Women were expected to behave in a specific way, facing harsh judgement if they strayed, and their actions were mostly limited to the home.

Although in many cases I agree this is true, my questions are... Who raised these teenagers? Is there anything parents can do to change it?
Teenagers are commonly listed under a stereotype where they are in a rebel stage, where social media is their life, and where they are called “self-center.” They tend not look at what is happening around them, they seem to take everything for granted, they don’t really over think life and the possibilities of what can happen. John Green, author of “The Fault in Our Stars” indicate to us, that that is not always true. He gives us two main characters; Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Water as an example to teach us that there are teenagers who don’t follow the steps. These teenagers will deliver Green’s message by teaching us anguish, admiration, and love.
