Teenagers! Classic Social Guidance Films. Part Two.
Contents: Cheating (1952, 11 min.) -- Control your emotions (1950, 13 min.) -- Developing self-reliance (1946, 20 min.) -- Emotional maturity (1957, 20 min.) -- Habit patterns (1954, 14 min.)
Cheating: John gets Mary into trouble when he bamboozles her into giving him the answers to an Algebra test. Control your emotions: Indicates some of the dangers of uncontroled emotions and how emotional self control brings about self-mastery, most especially for teens. Developing self-reliance: Presents an education in bringing about the traits of self-reliance that secure success and happiness in one's endeavors. Emotional maturity: Dramatized incidents are used to explain a high school boy's immature behavior and what can go wrong without emotional self-control. Also illustrates the importance for adults to understand the increasing emotional tempo of adolescence in order to help young people mature. Habit patterns: Barbara wants in with the "in crowd," but her slovenly ways nixes her. Illustrates the advantages of the formation of orderly and systematic daily habits, by contrasting the life of a girl who has formed these habits with the unhappy existence of one who has not.
