The Problems of Teen-Agers

Pahomova Julia 10 "A”

 

There are many young people in our country. Each of them has one's own point of view on their life and their future. There are many problems which are common for all young people. For Example: how to spend their free time, what to do after school, choosing a profession, how to deal with a girl and boy-friends and so on. There are a lot of programmes on TV which try to help them, but it's too little.

The problem number one of most young people is the problem of fathers and sons. All young people want to be independent; they want their parents to listen to their opinion, not to interfere in their private life. Some parents neglect their children, because they can't find a common language with each other. Different newspapers and magazines try to solve this problem and I advise such parents to read them.

Many problems were hushed up, but now we can speak openly about them. I think that the most difficult and serious problem of modern teen-ages is drug-habit. Some young man use drugs, because they think that will be cool guys. But they don't understand that it's wrong. Some of them can't stop that, and they become dependent on drugs. And they commit different serious, because they need some money to buy drugs. There are also many other problems: alcoholism, smoking and so on. The number of "sniffers" is growing and yet has reached a tremendous index. It happens, because such substances are the most available and cheap. There are many youth organizations in our country, which unite young men on different principles. A member of every organisation has its own world, out looks. Each of them has their own moral qualities. There are some informal organizations, for example: skinheads, hippies, panks and so on. Now there exists the problem of misunderstanding between different youth groups.

We also face the problem how to spend our free time. We can do it in different ways. Internet service united people and gives them possibility to socialize with each other. Some of teen-ages spend their free time in different night clubs. Other young people spend their free time in the streets.

Young people are the future of our country. Teen-agers play an important role in the modern society. Teenage pregnancy, run away children and many other problems show us that parents must give more love and care to their children and remember that we are the future of our country and in present moment our character is formed and that's why our parents must not assert pressure on us.
