EARLY
ADOLESCENCE 
The following illustrates a random
draw of abuse and affect/effect cards for the years of thirteen,
fourteen, and fifteen. Affect/Effect cards have been drawn from the
ivory strand and are reflective of the child who externalizes his
anger. (See Infancy/Toddlerhood, Preschool and Late
Adolescence for examples of a child who internalizes anger.) This
child is free from abuse for one year. Abuse Free cards offer some
reprieve from the intensity of this exercise and at the same time
reflect the often extreme circumstances that provide reprieve from
abuse in real
life. These circumstances are reflective of things that happen in adult
life
and have nothing to do with any action of the child.
Thirteen-Years-Old 
At age thirteen, the thing
to do is to check-out the magazines at the grocery store. Your
feet seem to stumble into more things. Words come out of your mouth
that
you often don't mean. In 8th grade, the time between class bells is for
jostling, playing jokes, shouting, and planning after school
rendezvous.
Your penis is often hard and you are afraid the girls and your teachers
will
notice. You are spending less and less time with your family and more
and
more time with your friends. |
