PROBLEMS OF TEENAGERS
There are many problems that young people have to face when they stop being children. At this age all feelings and emotions are very strong, all problems seem very important.
There are two types of problems - personal problems and the problems the whole generation has to face.
Personal problems can look silly and unimportant to the grown-ups. The first and terrible thing is misunderstanding from the dearest people - from the parents. They do not understand why you need to buy certain things, listen to certain music or spend most of your spare time with your friends.
The same misunderstanding we face sometimes from the side of the teachers. They think that youth is given for studying. But a person who only studies is dull. Some teachers do not understand that youth is the time for them to learn about people and about themselves, to play and try things.
As long as parents and teachers can't take teenagers seriously, they form their own social groups, which are called subcultures. Teens' subculture is a part of culture and it reveals itself in many features - clothes, styles of favorite music, way of life, opinions about life, future and education, the choice of friends and other aspects. Many groups of teenagers follow a certain fashion which requires wearing a certain piece of clothes (like jeans, army boots, bandanas), jewellery (like earrings for boys), certain hairdos (ponytail, shaved heads, coloured or dyed hair), sometimes certain colours.
The problem of money is important as well. Young people need to have pocket money for buying books, pens, ice-cream and so on. But it isnt a good idea to beg parents to give some money. If you find a part-time job during the academic year, they will say it distracts you from studies.
Young people stand many health problems. Many of them want to look older and more independent. They do silly things. The girls make up a lot. They try to be fashionable-looking and lose their style and charm. The boys try to be tough, they are self-assured and insensible. Both boys and girls begin to smoke and drink beer and sometimes other alcoholic drinks. Sometimes they begin using drugs and become drug addicts.
