Young people’s problems

Sometimes it is very difficult for adults to understand us – teenagers. Maybe it is because of different generations. I don’t know. But still I’ll try to explain you, grown – ups, what we are made of, what our views are and what we choose in this life. Don’t think that teenager’s life is very easy. It seems so only for the first time. We have just the same problems as you have.

The problem № 1 of the young people is the problem of “fathers and sons”. Teenagers consider themselves independent or able to live in the adult world, they want to have their own private life. Mutual understanding between parents and children crushes. Some families neglect this problem, so it becomes more and more difficult to find common language.

Some teenagers face the problem of their free time. It is rather rare now, but young people don’t get aware of their interests and devote their time to harmful habits or idling about. Drugs – habit is the most dangerous one.

Another thing that disturbs is the education of young people. Everybody wants to have a car, a house and a lot of money. Of course all of us want to have a good job in future, and we try to do our best to reach this aim.

We also have problems with our class – mates. At times we don’t see a personality in each other. We can hurt our friends even not expecting it.

Psychologists say that almost every young person has an experience of conflicts during this period of his life, because teenagers are changing rapidly. The process of physical development begins and the minds of young people get completely prepared for future serious life.

In the end it is important to remember that teenagers are the future of our tremendous world. Only now there is an opportunity to change something to improve ourselves.
