Show 'Twixt Us Teens by Tibby Tucker What's tht chatter in your direction? I, Tibby, am refering to the small small talk that goes on about you when you're not there, of course. When the boys are talking in the locker room at gym do they rate you as smooth material? When the girls are chorusing of an evening about this-a and that-a and who's with whom these days do they label you as a good friend, a likeable type, a sought after queen? Is the 'twist-Tom-and-Tilly-talk of the type that terms you a terrific teen or a troublesome trick? Do members of the human race ages 12 to 20 agree that you always show up looking pert, always end up doing the right thing at the right time? Are they aware that you know when to stand by them and when to stand up to them? These are questions to consider if your life and your happiness concern you at all. And of course they do. Show me an unconcerned teen, and I, Tibby, will show you an unpopular unhappy one. Get smart, teens. Spend a night doing some careful and honest injun self-analysis. Find out about YOU. See yourself as others see you. When you discover your unpleasant habits and tendencies, start up a campaign of self-improvement. It's the only way. You can read and study and watch and learn about how to be popular. But if you don't DO something about it, where does all this knowledge get you? So c'mon, teens, I, Tibby encourage you to make the effort toward constant self-improvement. DO something to better yourself everyday. And then the talk about you will be GOOD! |
