What a hard life for teens today …
Hi, my name is Elisabeth. I’m a fourteen year old girl who lives in Austria. I thought a lot about the lives of teenagers in the last time and now I want to describe these hard lives.
The first thing I want to write on is about parents. Often kids in the age of 12 until 18 think that parents are much too strict. Uninterrupted they have to listen to rules and stuff like that. Many teenagers say if they have to hear that again and again, there is such a pressure that they do these bad things even more.
The next thing is peer pressure. Many teenagers begin to try out alcohol and drugs. In any case there are kids, who won’t ever try out that stuff, but when they have friends, which do that, they also get involved mostly. Also if peer pressure isn’t always bad, the risk that it goes bad is big.
Another important point is school. Many teenagers have problems at school. Sometimes they only have problems at school because they have problems at home with their families too. When a kid has such problems, most people don’t realize what the real problem is. In some cases, family and school problems get so big, those teenagers decide to commit suicide.
The last thing I want to describe is about jobs and money. Many teenagers want to get independent. They want to earn money by themselves – not to ask their parents for everything they need. Often parents don’t understand that and troubles are preassigned. The logically consequence is again, the liability for body and soul.
So, don’t say “the easy life of teens”, or “the youth from today…” – that’s not true! Try to put yourselves in teenager’s positions and then to judge!
Herzlichen Dank schonmal im Voraus!
LG
