Teen Tattler —
A Compromise with Sister Susan Usually
Is Far Better Than a Big Squabble
By MARY DEVINE BRENNAN
Hiah! Remember the days
a long, long time before your
teens, when you thought that
way to get
anyt h i n g
your little
heart desired
was to stamp
a foot and
scream?
Those were
the days
when you
first learned
the truth
x n a i, i x r t
Mary Divine crime, t e m
Brennan per doesn’t
pay.
For most of us the howling
tantrums stage was over years
ago, but there are still times
when it seems a “mad ’ session
is the only answer—when sis
ter Sue borrows your new
cashmere sweater the very
night you were planning to
wear it on a super-special
date, or when you get left a
lone with a perfectly huge
stack of dinner dishes when
the gang wants to go early to
a Clark Gable movie.
You can hardly help but be
peeved when you find the
little brother reading your di
ary to an interested audience
consisting of 10 or 12 of the
neighborhood younger set.
You get mad at little
things, too. You rage when
you get a big English as
signment—even though the
teacher couldn't possibly
have known that this was
the night you wanted to go
roller-skating.
You get mad at your pen
when it runs out of ink. You
Set mad at tthe puppy when
e chews up an old bedroom
slipper that you didn’t really
want anyway.
There are a million and
seven things to lose a temper
over, but you’d lead an aw
fully unhappy life if you took
advantage of each one and
you’d make everyone else mis
erable, too.
When you’re having temper
troubles, you say and do a lot
of things you wish you hadn’t
later. Some people insult their
very best friends; some throw
things; some, even at umpteen,
still scream and stamp feet.
It’s no wonder that parents
find it hard to believe that
you’re “practic’ly adult.” After
all, temper tantrums are a lit
tle childish.
If you want to rid your
self of old-man-temper, you
can always try the old “one
to 10” routine the next time
Sister Susan goes on a bor
rowing spree. Count to 10 and
then explain, in a wise way
though, that you need the ob
ject of her choice yourself.
Or you might even offer
to trade the sweater for her
new silk scarf for the eve
ning. At times like this you
'11 find that compromise is
far better than a battle.
Some of us count to 10 a
little too fast and nothing
happens. The “mad" is still
there. If you’re the type who
not only gets the urge to
throw things every now and
then, but does, buy a few
cheap china dogs in the dime
store. The next time you
want to throw something
throw one of them. It will
make a satisfying crash and
you will have lost nothing
more valuable than a dime.
If you have temper trouble
while away from home make
yourself wait until you get
back so you can throw your
china dog. You’ll find your
self laughing at your temper in
no time at all.
You are the only one who
can discover the best answer
to your mad moods, so get to
work on it. You’ll never be
really grown-up until your
temper, temper days are over
and, since no one but Peter
Pan wants to be a child all
his life, why don’t you start
taming that temper now
See you next Thursday!
