Teenage Angst
High dudgeon is the proper mood of teenage revolution,
and their parents’ interference will not aid in its dilution.
Tactics that they utilize to make their children straight
do little to sort it out, and instead, agitate,
creating more rebellion. So, leave them to their snit.
By the time they’re twenty, they’ll grow out of it!
words today are dudgeon, interference, revolution, utilize, straight.
Fortunately, I didn’t have much of that with my sons, perhaps because I encouraged independence within reason. I’ve counselled quite a few parents, though,
