How do you get your copy of Teens^ Do you order it from us,or is it dis?tributed to you at school? At any rate,it is very unlikely that it will be deliv?ered to your door by a newspaper boy or newspaper girl early in the morning,before you have started out for school.

But this is just the way that many newspapers are delivered in the UK. Ne?wsagents―small shops in the neighbourhood―employ schoolchildren aged be?tween 14 and 16 to deliver newspapers to their customers. It is a way for young people to earn a little money,and a first adventure in the world of work―on however small a scale.

I first had a "paper round" when I was 14. I have vivid memories of it, be?cause it showed me a world I had not seen before. I would rise in the morning at 5:30，eat a quiet breakfast, and ride my bike to the newsagent. It would still be dark at that hour and in the wintertime,bitterly cold. It was new and strange and, before I got used to it， rather unpleasant. The experience taught me that I was growing up into an adult.

At the newsagents,I would pick up a big,heavy bag of newspapers and do a tour of the streets, taking people The Suns , Daily Mails and The Guard?ians they had ordered from the shop. The job would take an hour or so and it could be very tiring. Those bags were really heavy!At first I had problems because of the tiredness,since once I had returned home I had to set out for a full day of school. Still, it was worth it on Saturday morning when I would be paid for my work. What satisfaction to have some spending money in my pock?et,and to know that I had earned it all by myself!

There are a number of special days of the year that are celebrated in dif?ferent countries. The origins of most of the days are unknown. They were certainly not created by individual people. Other days,however,especially those celebrated in western countries, often owe their origins to a particular person. One of the most popular of these,even though it is fairly recent,is Mother's Day. Mothers have always been highly regarded in all cultures. The ancient Romans had a festival known as Hilaria,during which children took presents to the temple of the " Mother of the Gods". The Christian Church adopted this idea and called it Mothering Sunday. However,over the years this custom was gradually forgotten and almost disappeared by the end of the 19th century.

Born in 1864 in Virginia, USA.Anna Jarvis was a school teacher and believed children should show gratitude to their mothers for all their love and care. Encouraged by a friend, she wrote to thousands of important people—poli?ticians,churchmen, doctors, city officials — and asked them to support her idea: a special day of the year for thanking mothers.

In 1910 the Governor of West Virginia introduced Mother's Day into the state. The date chosen was May 10th―the second Sunday in May,which is still observed in America today. This date was chosen because May 10th was the date on which in 1908 Anna Jarvis's mother had died. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made May 10th the official date for Mother's Day throughout the United States.

Soon there was a Mother's Day International Association and the custom began to be adopted in many countries of the world.

Anna Jarvis,a sad and disillusioned woman,died in 1948. The custom she had worked so hard to establish and which had become almost universal had lost its original purpose. It had been taken over by business. As with Christmas, the giving of presents and the sending of cards had become a multi?million-dollar industry.
