S Yes, I think so.
T But teenagers do get leisure time as
well, dont they?
S They do, but the problem is, teenagers
often have very little cash to spend.
So in the small amount of time that
they get for leisure, they usually
dont have enough money to enjoy
themselves. As a result, they end up
getting bored in their free time!
T I see. It all sounds very depressing
S And finally, teenagers do not have
independence. For instance, if I want
to go and stay with a friend, I have
to ask permission first. Teenagers
have to live according to the rules
that are made by adults. Thats
why I firmly believe that a persons
teenage years are more difficult than
other stages in life.

non-profit organisations. The
program is called Reassurance.
Every day of the year I make
several phone calls. I call elderly,
housebound people in our town
who live alone. I check in on them to
make sure they are safe. As long as
they answer the phone and are
okay, Im happy. And if they want to
chat, I can chat with them. If they
dont respond and I havent been
notified that they are away, Ive got
to take action. I call their family
members, the security office at their
apartment building, or the police. I
ask them to stop by and see if those
people are in trouble.
The program makes people feel
less vulnerable but also helps with
their loneliness. These folks are very
responsive and friendly, and they
often tell me that they appreciate my

82 and I started crocheting baby
blankets over 50 years ago, just
before my first child was born. Since
then, Ive been making afghans
and quilts for all my friends and
family members. Seven or eight
years ago, I saw a notice in our
local newspaper. It was about this
organisation that collects blankets
and donates them to charitable
agencies that serve the homeless
or victims of various disasters, and
other people in need. I contacted
them, and asked if I could help.
They were delighted and thats
how it started. Now I spend around
1,500 hours a year crocheting for the
group. Many of my blankets go to
the northern states. They are given to
the homeless or to people who are
made homeless after some kind of
disaster. I once watched the news
when the president visited New
Orleans after the hurricane Im
sure it was my blanket I saw on one
