Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching your question on the internet, I was able to find another question like yours, which showed that the text in question is entitled "Blue", written by Francesca Lia Block. If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.
La's mother decides to leave, before La can even say goodbye to her. The mother's departure changes the whole emotional state and daily life of the family. This attitude becomes a major trauma for La's father and for the life of La herself, who feels extremely sad and confused. The impact of La's mother's departure is what moves the plot of the story, because all of La's actions, all the motivations, the conflicts that she gets involved in and even the appearance of Blue, a strange creature that tries to console La, happen as a result of her mother's actions.
Answer: Lexington would talk about how important is work for teenagers, since the story of the hardworking Reagan is presented as an example.
Explanation: Lexington presents Reagan's story as a way of differing with many americans that claim summer jobs to be boring. Reagan was a harworker young man, who worked as a lifeguard, but in comparison to some teenagers, he would take it seriously to the point of saving people's lives from a river and scold them for it. He would wake up early and do his job for 12 hours a day, seven days a week. Therefore, If Lexington is presenting Reagan's hard routine, he would answer to a question like that by making the difference between lazy teenagers that complain about muscle ache and how they should value it, like Reagan.
