answer the questions in it :
· Do you have problems?
· What are they?
· How do you solve your problems?
Everybody says your youth is probably the best time of young life, that being young means romance, love, new discoveries & so on. But it is also the most difficult time because you have to make some very important decisions, which will influence all your future life.
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. We also face the problem how to spend our free time. We can do it in different ways. Some of teen-ages spend their free time in different nightclubs. Other young people spend their free time in the streets.

Another typical problem for most of the teen-ages is problem with their parents. Leo Tolstoy said: "All families are happy in the similar way and unhappy in its own way". And happiness or unhappiness of any family mostly depends on relations in it.
So many families so many family relations. Each family establishes its own relations in its own way. It has its own traditions & customs & its own unwritten constitution including rights & duties of every member of the family. The level of democracy is also different in different families, which mostly depends on the viewpoints of adults usually not coinciding with a child's point of view. So the problem of misunderstanding becomes urgent. Some people can it generation gap. It as a rule sharpens as soon as a child approaches his or her difficult teens. And both sides (parents & children) should be patient & tactful & it's the only way to settle down all the problems & stay friends.Only now there is an opportunity to change something to improve ourselves.
