My husband picks up a local newspaper every morning from a

vending machine on our the way to work.The other morning,the girl who

appeared to be about six was in front of him in a line, buying a paper for her

mother, who was sitting in the car. The… child put money for one paper in a

slot and took two newspapers! My husband said to her, “Oh, is this two-for-

one day?”the child did not reply. She just took the two newspapers to her mother.

This is stealing, pure and simple. I wonder what this mother is going to

think when her daughter becomes a teen and gets arrested for shop-lifting

at a mall? I suppose she’ll wonder where her daughter got an idea that it is OK

to take something without paying for it.

The mother missed an_opportunity to teach her child right from wrong. If

the child took an extra newspaper in error, the mother should have instructed her

to put it back. However, if she put the child up to it – shame on her.

Dear Marjorie,

I’m having problems with my studies at school. I find it difficult to get down

to work in the evenings and I can’t concentrate on anything at the moment. I

spend most of my time listening to records or watching TV instead of doing my homework. The other students in my class are much better than I am and I have difficulty in keeping up with them. I sometimes have problems with following the lessons as well. I can’t always take in the important things my teacher says because I write so slowly. She has told me that I’m falling behind with my studies. I’m not good at writing essays and I usually hand in my homework late because I put off doing it until the last minute. So I often have to invent silly excuses to explain why I haven’t done the work. I’m sure I’m not going to get through my final exams in June. I’m now so far behind that I don’t know how I’m going to catch up with them.

My teacher spent some time going over my homework with me but she found so many mistakes that I felt even more depressed. What do you suggest I do?

Yours desperately,

George
