Jenny: You look ridiculous in that short skirt and those high heels.

Pam: They’re very fashionable and very expensive and I paid for them, so I’m going to wear them whatever you say.

Jenny: Where are you going this evening?

Pam: I don’t know yet. I’m going round to Lorna’s house and then we’ll decide where we’re going.

Jenny: Just be sensible, please. Make sure you don’t get into any trouble.

Pam: Look, we know what we’re doing. We’ll be fine.

Jenny: I’ll wait up for you.

Pam: There’s no need for that. I’ve got my key. I’ll try not to wake you up when I get back.

Jenny: Are you sure you’ve got enough money? Have you got your mobile? Why don’t you ring me later?

Pam: Look. Just stop worrying about me for once!

Jenny: I can’t stop worrying about you. After all, you are my mother!

There is a reason. I can explain!’

A reason.

I only asked a simple question,

An explanation.

They both mean the same: I should shut up.

They Make Me Blush!

HAPPY asked some teenagers to tell us about things their parents do that embarrass them.

This is what they said.

blush – rodna embarrass – genera parents’ evening – föräldramöte subject – (skol)ämne

E

very parents’ evening at school my dad asks all the teachers what he can do to help me in my subjects. He writes everything down in a little book.

Then he tries to help me. It never works as he was at school years ago and knows nothing.

Shashi : I like to go to the cinema. We make more films in India than anywhere else in the world. There are over 800 new films a year. I’d like to see them all!

Gita : I’m not as mad on films as Shashi. I like watching TV and surfing the net.

Shashi : Once a week we both go to a dance class.

10

Gita : And I also go to classes in painting and singing. I guess I’m artistic!

HAPPY : Do you ever date boys?

15

Gita : No! Dating in India does not happen much. Most Indian parents don’t let their daughters date boys.

Shashi : My parents would go mad if they ever found out I was dating someone.

20

Gita : Sometimes girls date boys in secret. But I wouldn’t want to do something my parents wouldn’t like.

HAPPY : At what age do people get married in

India?

Gita : Women usually marry at 18 and men at 21.

25

Shashi : That’s the normal age in cities and towns.

In villages in the country it’s often younger.

HAPPY : Will you have arranged marriages?

Shashi : Yes. Arranged marriages are very common in India. My parents will look

for a suitable husband for me. They will look for someone who is of the same religion and who has a good job.

Gita : Yes, some people do, mostly in the cities, but it’s quite rare in the country.

olyckligtvis harder – svårare

experience – erfarenhet

Shashi : Unfortunately if a family doesn’t have money, it means that it will be harder for them to find a husband for their daughters.

20

25

Shashi : I know some people find the idea of arranged marriages strange. I don’t. I trust my parents and I know they will find me someone suitable. They have much more experience of the world than I do.

Gita : I agree. My parents know what is best for me. If I had to choose for myself I wouldn’t know what sort of things to look for in a husband. I might just go for good looks.

Shashi : I’m looking forward to my marriage.

And remember that there are far fewer divorces in arranged marriages than in marriages where the young couple have decided themselves.

Barnardo’s Gave Me My Life

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a family.

In Victorian Britain many children who were orphans or who came from broken homes got help from Dr Barnardo’s.

seem – verka troublemaker – bråkstake easily – lätt bored – uttråkad pass – klara

Thomas Barnardo was born in Dublin in 1845. Not much is known about his childhood and youth.

He seems to have been a bit of a troublemaker at school and he was easily bored in lessons. He didn’t pass any exams and left school at sixteen.

exam – prov, examen preach – predika missionary – missionär continue – fortsätta

Just before his seventeenth birthday, Barnardo became what we would now call a “born again Christian”. He started teaching Bible classes at a school for poor children in Dublin and began preaching in the YMCA*. In 1866, aged twenty-one, Barnardo decided to become a missionary. He wanted to work in China, but first he decided to go to London to be trained as a doctor. There he lived in a poor part of the city called Stepney. He continued to do missionary work among the poor people.

One night he met a young boy called Jim Jarvis.

This meeting changed Barnardo’s life – and the

Jim took him to the places where poor, homeless children slept. Barnardo was shocked by the terrible conditions Jim showed him. Children were dressed in rags and were lying together for warmth in old, empty buildings and open doorways. Jim told him of life on the streets of London and how children were starving and had to beg for food or become thieves.

Barnardo was so shocked by what he had seen and heard that he decided to try to help the poor children of London. In 1866 he started his first ‘ragged school’ in a donkey stable at Hope Place. It was called a ‘ragged school’ because the clothes the children wore were ragged.

By March 1868 Barnardo had raised enough money to start his first ‘home’, also at Hope Place. After receiving a £1,000 donation (then a huge amount of money) from a supporter in the same year, he decided not to go to China but continue his work in London instead. In 1870 Barnardo opened his first home for boys at Stepney Causeway.

Within seven years there were more than a dozen homes for boys, and in October 1873 Barnardo opened the first home for girls. Three years later he opened a Village Home for Boys, which took in more than 1,000 orphans.

Barnardo worked as hard as he could to raise more money. When he died in 1905 more than 8,500 children were living in the 96 homes he had set up around the UK. About 1,300 of them were physically handicapped. The homes gave the children food and shelter, and they learnt a trade. Thus, when the children left the homes and started to live on their

own, they could make enough money to look after themselves.

10

Barnardo continued to open more ‘ragged schools’.

One school, the Copperfield Road Ragged School, taught and gave breakfast and dinner every day to 1,075 children between the ages of 5 and 10. 2,460 children went to the school’s Sunday school, attending church services and studying the Bible as well as eating a hearty Sunday lunch – which might possibly have been their only decent meal of the week.

The last Barnardo’s Home closed over 30 years ago, but the organisation is still looking after young people like Jim Jarvis. Today Barnardo’s works with over 140,000 children and their families within the community, through more than 360 projects based all over the United Kingdom. Barnardo’s continues to help disadvantaged children, teenagers and their families and fulfilling its slogan – “Giving children back their Future”.
