North Side done in the first place. It infers that the one called "chicken" doesn't have courage. Actually, it takes courage to say "no" when the rest of the. crowd is doing it, but yoa know it is i wrong. Those who are doing the thing in question quite often have a guilty feeling and are only trying to lessen their own feeling of guilt by getting others to join them.

This may happen in many ways. Sometimes it is drugs, or vandalism, or stealing, or drinking, or smoking, or reckless driving or any one of a number of foolhardy activities. If one or more of the group do not go along with the actions of the others because they realize the harm involved, they are accused of cowardice and called "chicken." Then is when the test comes as to whether the one so accused really has courage or This however, is not in giving in to the crowd and doing what is it is having the backbone to stand up to the others and refuse to be intimidated. Even those who do the daring and taunting will have more respect for one who can refuse than they do for one who is easily persuaded. It is an admirable trait to have the strength of one's convictions and be able to speak out- for what they know to be.

right. Not only young people ex-, perience the accusation of being "chicken." Their elders often times join groups and take part in other unworthy actions against their better judgement just because they are led to believe "everyone else" is doing it. In our world today, it. takes courage and a strong backbone to take the right path regardless of where the rest of the "flock" goes. Friakel-Ki lit N.
