"Doing push-ups may not be much fun, especially when someone is yelling at you, but this week it is part of the drill for nearly 100 teens who have come to York College.No matter how tough it gets, nobody dares to yell back.\u201CYou have to bite your tongue,\u201D said John Bossert from West Middleton.It is State Police Youth Week, an annual program for 15-to 17-year-olds. Run by the American Legion, it gives teens from across Pennsylvania a taste of life in the military.Many of them are focused on careers in law enforcement. Some are looking for more discipline in their lives and others want to learn leadership skills.\"It is not about being bossy. It is about being there for the people that need you and motivating people to get stuff done,\u201D said Bryant Clayes of Gettysburg.The teens are treated like police cadets or military recruits, and make no mistake about it--there is plenty of bossing going on.The week-long program is a lot harder than most people think. At \u00A0least two of the young people dropped out because they couldn\u2019t handle the stress.\u201CThere are a lot of shell-shocked faces here, especially the first couple of days,\u201D said Trooper Adam Reed, state police spokesman.But most of the kids love it and like Emma Bahm of Gettysbyrg, they have inspiration to hang in there. Her father is a cop.\u201CI want to be just like him,\u201D said Bahm.Saturday is graduation day for the teens.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
