Journal:
Do you think it’s right that parents treat their sons and
daughters differently? For example, some parents are much stricter with their
daughters than they are with their sons. They allow their sons to stay out
later or they don’t make the sons do house work. What do you think? Do you have
any personal experience with this? Do you think this is right?

Read “Safety Plan” again and then discuss with your nearest
partner what does “safety plan” mean? What advice would you give your fourteen
year old son or daughter on the first day of school or just before their first
date? Be specific about the advice you would give. Would your advice be
different for your son and daughter? Why?
