           %ADOLESCENTS NEED SUBJECTIVE ROLE MODELS 850309

     People  who are compulsively objective at  all  times
can  not  be helpful role models to adolescents  who  need
subjective  role models to help them perceive viable  ways
of  living meaningful lives,  and to respect  such  viable
alternatives.

     By their very being, role models affirm a way of life
which tells the story of a viable alternative, they permit
others  to see that way of life is viable and so in effect
grant   others  permission  to  consider   it   seriously.
Rebellious  adolescents  need alternative role  models  to
turn  to  when  they are fed up with traditional  ways  of
living.  Intellectual descriptions of such alternatives do
not  have  the  same power as do role models who  are  the
incarnation of such alternatives.

     People  may  be  role models in how they  respond  to
unconventional  behavior.    Non-compulsive  responses  to
unconventional  behavior are just as essential to escaping
the     collusive    traps   of   conventionality,  as  is
unconventional  behavior itself.   Adolescents  need  role
models of people who can with maturity accept creative new
ways of living with integrity.
