Background on my situation-
I have been working on a reasearch project all semester for community based health research and planning. I have been working with a core group of kids from a middle school in memphis on ideas of healthy communities and the developement of health messages.

This summer they will attend a day camp teaching them the ins and outs of media production in order to produce these messages and have a traveling exhibit detailing their life and health in their communities. To kick off the summer day camp, there is a three day over night camp for the kids next week.

We just found out that they must have supervisors for the entire camp. I said no f'in way, Jose'............Until they offered to pay me. So next wednesday, thursday and friday I will be a frickin camp counserlor to a group of 12 and 13 year olds. Are you frickin kidding me. I am terrified of this age group.

Yep, at that age jailhouse rules apply. Sharpen your toothbrush, show no weakness and consider joining a gang.

these are a group of high risk youth too, not known for their upstanding behavior. i've met all the girls and they seem ok, evidently I don't have to deal with the boys too much.

Don't turn your back on them. And maybe instead of punching the biggest one, you should just shank that one, that way they know how far you are willing to go.

Don't be terrified of kids. If there's any guff, tell them you'll pull out their toenails with a rusty pair of pliers and an old kitchen knife then staple them to a rotten piece of particle board and burn them alive in front of their peers.

Then if they test you - do it. :thumb:

From Office Space....

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.

I worked at a summer camp a couple summers ago. What I would do is this: Be a stickler for the rules when you first get the kids, and don't let them get away with anything. Then, once you've gotten their respect, open up to them and be funny. This way, they will see you as cool, but at the same time, know that they will lose a finger if they get out of line.

Girls are probably a bit different than guys, though.
