| More than 6,000 children were expelled (开除) from the U. S. schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to schools, the U. S. Department of Education said on May 8. The department gave a report on the expulsions (开除) as saying handguns accounted for 85 percent of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996-97, against 7 percent for rifles (步枪) or shotguns and 25 percent for other types of firearms. "The report is a clear sign that our nation"s public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school." Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. "We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe." In March 1997, an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducah, Kentucky.

| Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年). But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanns noted. Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something, Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem is figuring out which time is which." Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what"s on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last." Parents who know what"s going on in their teenagers" lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them. | |||
