Dr. Roger Tonkin, an associate professor in UBC's Faculty of Medicine, told a Lynn Valley Youth Forum that comrnunities need to adapt to the needs of developing adults, by maintaining consistent standards and creating a safe, youth-oriented environment. “Kids have a bad reputation, and they don’t deserve it,’ Tonkin told a group of about 50 parents. He said only a small group of youth makes all the noise. Tonkin was the key speaker at Lynn Valley's first’ youth forum last weekend, which featured 25 speakers on topics ranging from employment to AIDS. He specializes in adolescent health and risk behavior. There are different stages of ad- olescence, he said, and it is only during the early teens that kids ex- perience the mood swings, im- pulsive behavior, and the battle for control that creates the bad repu- tation. While adolescents are going through the transition between childhood and adulthood, they want to define their turf with their own fads and fashions. Tonkin said one way kids cope with change is through risk-taking: “They want that rush, that buzz’’ that comes from speeding cars and experimenting with drugs. Tonkin urged parents to be ldgi- cal with their children. If parents say no to a request, they should stick to it. But he also said that parents should think about what they are doing before they say no, because ‘“‘parents are often the ones with confused values.’’ Two myths surrounding today’s youth are that there is a pregnancy Says a “We treat children like McCarthy By JUSTINE HUNTER Contributing Writer epidemic, and that kids are killing themselves in large numbers, he said. “Kids are more responsible about sex than we give them credit for,’' and that epidemic is south of the border. Tonkin also said that B.C. now has the lowest’ violence-mortality rate in two decades, ‘Kids have changed their behavior and that means a substandally lower death rate." Adolescents have five tasks to accomplish in their teen years, ac- cording to Tonkin. become comfortable with their physical growth, develop ap- propriate sexual roles, and bexin striving for self-sufficiency. They also need to develop appropriate behavior, and prepare for an adult lifestyle. “This means experimenting with what we consider our territory, and finding out what they want to do." Tonkin said the community can also take a role in creating a posi- tive environment for youth through offering a range of age- appropriate programs. Perhaps the simplest key to deal- ing with youth, ‘Tonkin concluded, is understanding: **We as adults tend to forget what it's like to be: an adolescent.”’ They have to NEWS photo Nail Lucente DR.
