The Problems of Young People
There are many young people in our country. Teenagers are a group of young people of the age of thirteen – nineteen years old. I’m fifteen so I belong to that group. There are many problems, which are common for all young people. For example: how to spend free time, what to do after finishing school, how to deal with the classmates and parents. The problem number one is the problem of fathers and sons. All teens want to be independent, we don’t like when our parents try to rule every step of our life. Our parents don’t like our clothes and our music. They often try to treat us like small children. But if you really want to solve this problem you must try to understand each other.
Some teens begin smoking and drinking alcohol to show that they are grown-ups already. This will lead to poor health in future (especially for girls). I don’t like smoking (nobody smokes in our family) and I think you mustn’t do it to look like a cool guy. The most serious problem nowadays is taking drugs and AIDS (the disease when the body’s immune system is not working). I think that every teen must go into sports or have a hobby, and know that you are responsible for your life by yourself.
