Passage 2

I hear many parents saying that their teen-age children are rebellious(叛逆的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teen-ages are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one another’s hands for safety.

They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new direction in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way that the crowd
