From my perspective, different country's teens will have different issues. In Asia, I think the important issue facing teens my age today is that they have too much pressure, their pressure are mostly from homework, parents, teachers, and their relationship between others.
ReplyDeleteFor example, when I was in Taiwan, I need to studied for more than 16 hours per day. 80% of my classmates had to study more time than me everyday. It is because of teachers and parents, they always told you that if you don't studied, you won't get into he best university and you will never get good job and have good future. Also, having boyfriend or girlfriend is forbidden in school. If the teacher catch you, you will be kick out of school because they said having girlfriend or boyfriend will effect our grade.
In western country, like Europe or America, I think their teens are facing the issues of drug, alcohol, cigaret, and sex. Western country's teens have much more freedom so they will learn how to drink alcohol and smoking in school or from their parents. Also, maybe is because of the movies, teens want to try to have sex with their lover, and the female will be pregnant and they will decided to have abortion.
It seems like it is not a very important issue, but it is! Drinking alcohol and smoking will make us unhealthy, and abortion is just like a sugary that kill your own kid. Lots of people are opposing abortion and I've always been anti-abortion, because how can you decide a kid's life by your own. Maybe he/she will be Einstein the second in the future or a famous artist or even the president. On the other hand, to much pressure is a really important issue in Asia country, especially in Taiwan, China, Japan, and Korea. The annual suicide rate is always increasing, to adult's eye, students that are not good studying are trash and they always view them with critical eye. Although we all know that our parents and teacher said that to us is because they hope we can have a better future, because in the past, in their generation, everyone is poor so they know what will our life be in future if we don't study.
In a word, i think these are the most important issue facing teens my age today. I hope that government can think of some method to change the education. Without these problem, every teenager will have a better life :)
I think the most important issue teens face today is drug use. In Asian or Western, the teens like to use that because they got too much freedom, or their parents probably separate so the teens want to ignore and stop thinking about that problem. They think drug can help them to solve that problem.
ReplyDeleteAnother example, many girls use drug because they think that use drug can be skinny. Some guys use drug because it feels good. They use drug when they are thinking too much about parents, friends or schools because they think drugs can take the pressure off. It also take any pain away.
I think their government and parents should take care more about the teens. In my opinions, any teens like their parents to say ''I love you''and mind them. Teens really want their parents to say it but they are just too shy or they think that they grow up already so they don't ask that to their parents by themselves. Some of the teens use drugs because they think that their parents don't care about them so they want to bad things to get their parent's attention.
Drug is a really bad thing for people. Drug can kill your brain cells. Cocaine can make your voice deep like an old man. It can make you look very ugly. If you get catch, then you have to live in a prison for 3-5 years. That's really raise time. Finally i wish their parents can pay more attention about that serious problem for teens.
oh...i think that i forgot to type 4 more sentences. Another issue of teens is about sex. That's a really serious problem especially for teens for our society. Teens have sex with their lovers because they learn that from the internet, Tv and movies. Teens always want to try new things because they think that is cool or they want to show off to their friends. After the female will be pregnant, and they think about abortion because they think that the son would not give their freedom anymore and push down their grades.
ReplyDeleteThe most important issue in our age today, have a lot of things.There are things that involve our parents, friends, interest , etc.At this age, is the age that we do things that we never thought we would never do.A lot of teens that is my age have problems with there parents in many things. Adults said that at this age our hormone is changing and it cause us to change our temper easily. I personally think that is so true, it felt like we can change our mood anytime. We feel that adults are not fair at this age. I think that one of the way witch I cant achieve yet is to try to communicate to them. I think that friends is also one of the major issue. Friends can be really good and helpful, and friends can be really bad. There are many types of friends that you can have. Friends can be a cheater or a person who wants to use you for there profit will try to act nice to you, but when you have a real problem they will just leave you behind. Friends how ever can be very helpful if they really are real friends.Real friends can act harsh on you but mostly they want to help you. There is one really big thing that is hard about finding a real true friends is that there are much more bad friends than good friends. As the adult say if have a good friends than your life will go well, but if you have bad friend that they will guide you to hell. There is also another major problem for teens is there interest. There are lots of thing that this age have problems with. For example interest in opposite sex, in weapons, in drinking and some more other thing that should not be interest in. I think that at this periods is the time where our future can change.
ReplyDeleteFrom my thought I think that the most important issue facing teens my age today is to having boyfriend and girlfriend. When teens having boy or girlfriend they wouldn’t even concentration in learning because they must take care of boy and girlfriend example like they would scare he/she going to have other boy and girlfriend, so they don’t even have time to study what they miss and they wouldn't catch up with they classmate and if they having bad grade in class they might got kick out from school or call parent and they wouldn’t have any place to go because they have low GPA. They might got punishment from there parent, if they got lot of punishment from they parent so they might thought that they would want to have they own freedom from they parent so they separate and go with his/her boy and girlfriend and facing something that fun for them to do ,example drug, alcohol, cigarette, and sexual. So they want to try to have sexual with their lover. If they make girl pregnant then they wouldn’t responsible for it because they don’t ready to be a father, no enough money to start new family and so they wouldn’t have any freedom anymore. And if they got lot of drug they couldn’t control themselves because the drug going to kill the cell brain so they would think short. And the reason they think the drug seem cool for themselves because they want to look cool. Sometime drug might kill yourself or make you dies. Lot of people have lot of this problem and it took lot of time to start a new life.
ReplyDeleteHi, Ms. Suzanne! I’m Grace.
ReplyDelete"What is the most important issue facing teens your age today?How should they deal with it?"
I think the most important issue that teenagers are facing today is that they always argue with their parents. Teenagers in my age always complain about their parents. For example, “They grounded me again, I hate them!”. Or, “Why are they so mean? I didn’t do anything wrong!”. Teenagers in my age always think that others parents are much more better than our’s. Sometimes, I also had this kind of feelings before when I argued with my parents. Teenagers always think that their friends are the most important people in their world. They only discuss their secrets with their friends, not parents. Sometimes, they don’t even tell that they’re in a relationship. And that will let their parents be very worry about it. Because sometimes you get a bad boyfriend/girlfriend. Parents were older than you are. They knew more knowledge than you do. They can see people’s personalities for you. Make sure that you won’t get a bad boyfriend/girlfriend. But lots of teenagers argue this kind of problem with their parents. Parents try to separate those teenagers. They knew that their sons’/daughters’ boy-girlfriends had a bad relationship lover. And teenagers started to argue with their parents. But luckily, teenagers won’t always act like this. They will grow up in one day, Their thoughts will grow like a grown-ups. And one day, they’ll laugh at what stupid things they’d done when they’re in teenagers age.
Hello! I’m Porsche. I think we have many problems issue facing teens my age today, but I will tell you about the one that was most recently happen today. For the most important issue facing teens my age today was about parents don’t understand their children because of this reason some problems or news that we see today was teenager suicide because of learning for family problems. There are many problems cause by this issue like the suicide, drugs and other stuff. Also, sometime we saw the news about the teenager because they do illegal stuff like sales drug or stool things. If we look deep inside the real reason and causes of this was because parents doesn’t understand their children. Their parents like to force them on tests and homework but they don’t realize that they are causing their children into this issue. Now, as the result from the internet or the news teenage are starting o using drugs like smoking. Since this problem might come from friends and family. This doesn’t mean that the parents would do everything for their children but to let parents understand that not to force their children very much. Making children do many stuff or learn many subject make them suffered. In think that all of the reasons and cause of this issue might help some family go through with it. This cause was just an example of the issue. I guarantee that in the continent or other continents would have more about this issue. By the way I think suicide wasn’t the answer or way to get rid of this issue. If they’re in this situation I think the better way for this was just to talk with their parents. Everyone parents always listen to there children. Sometime they might understand us but sometimes they don’t. For this I think the children need to explain or convince their parents what is the reason. Some of this comment may help the teenagers to grow to be a good adult and continue helping other people.This is all I want to tell you about this issue, but if you are interesting in this issue you can search about it in the internet.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Fanny. From my point of view, I think the most important issue that teens are facing today is drugs, smoking, alcohol, suicide and sex. The community is having a mess because of the Teens. Teens started smoking are because adults addicted them; they saw older people are smoking around. And they want to look mature, also they want to have the experiment of smoking, it is because they are curious of how it feels like of the cigarette. Teens used drugs were because they are depressed to have issues with their friends or parents. And because they want to escape their problems, it is because they don’t want to face it. Teens drink alcohol is because they want to be cool, show off and also by drinking the alcohol can help you forget unhappiness memory, the inside of the pain that you have. These are the form of pressure, because of what, they turn into this. The most important is while the teens are facing difficulties with their parents, when they are having an argument or a big fight. Some people who end their lives or attempt suicide might be trying to escape feelings of rejection, hurt, or loss. And some might be angry, ashamed, or guilty about something. Some people may be worried about disappointing friends or family members. So they commit suicide. Last, now the teens thought are weird, they think it is fun or cool because they have never tried before. After having sex, the female pregnant, and they don’t have to responsibility to take care of the baby, then they thinking of abortion or adoption.
ReplyDeleteThese are come from their pressure. I think the eldest should observe the children with open eyes and open heart, to know what they are thinking by having discussions with them, giving them the love.
My name is Eugene :D . I think that the most important things that teen are doing or facing today is alcohol , drugs and SEX. Teenagers started to smoking no matter boy or girls , they all smoked. They don't know wether smoke is good or bad, they smoke because they think that smoking is cool or something. And some of the teens drank alcohol outside the school , they bought alcohol from the 108 shop etc. And some of them stayed at school late is because of drugs and alcohol. I had saw some of the grade 8 and grade 11 guys smoked at the 5th floor gym. Drugs and alcohol can made their memory decrease , easily to forgot something.Some of the people attempt suicide and trying to escape from the loss. After they did that , they felt guilty and ashamed about it.some people may be worried about friends and family member. Ans some of the teenagers think that sex is fun or cool or something else , and after they having sex,and what if the female pregnant , the boy wont be responsible for it and the girl need to take off the baby, and is very cruel for the girl to take off baby at this age.(adoption). These are those teenagers are doing now.They don't thing to study well and they are thinking to want a girl friends or something else.And some of the parents can't believe that their son/daughter will do that kind of things.This is a hard problem to solve after they had done it..
ReplyDeleteThe issue that teens around my age are facing includes drugs, smoking, alcohol, peer pressure, lack of taking school seriously, respect towards each other and etc.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the most important issue facing teens on my age are sex and teen pregnancy. Adolescents today face the common problem of sex and teen pregnancy. Teens are not responsible enough to take care of a child. A kid needs to be taken care all the time. They should focus on learning and their future. If they have a child at this age, they won't have time to study. I think teen age should only think about learning and enjoy their teenage life in an appropriate way. As an example, teens should play sports to deal with peer pressure.
Tests have shown that teenagers that play sports have less chance to use drugs and other things that will hurt their health. If they are not good at sports teens can try art and music. Art and music is another great way to spend their time and help them think properly. People tell teens not to have sex but sometime they cannot control themselves. Instead of telling them not to have sex, we should tell them to have safe sex and use condom. Usually when a parent tells their child not to do something, they have an urge to do it even more because they think they can make their own choice. Respect is the biggest problem any adolescent will face in their life and it is the main cause of all teenage problem. What a teenager doesn't know is that in order to have someone's respect you have to respect yourself first. Some teens think they need the respect of their friends so they use drugs, have unprotected sex, and smoke. Many teachers or parents think that by stopping teen problems you have to ban or forbid the things by setting up rules and regulations. What they didn't know is when you ban something ,you just make people wants to do it even more. We should give them the correct knowledge that will help them make the right choice. By doing that, there will be less teenage problems around the world.

Hi Ms.SuZanne, i am Blink.
ReplyDeleteI think that the most important issue facing teens in my age today is parent, because our hormone and our parent hormone is not the same. Now we are teenager so our hormone was high, and some parent was getting old so their hormone will be low. When people hormone is low, they will get easily moody.So Parent and child will have a argument for most of the time. After all of the serious argument the child will go and talk with their friends, boyfriend/girlfriend about it. And if sometimes child was very stress about it, the problem of alcohol.drug and sex will come later. Because child will drink alcohol,smoking,and having Drugs.The alcohol make you drank.Sometimes you will have sex without knowing. All of that can made their memory decrease.Maybe after you having sex you will found out that you are Pregnant. And if the boys that you are having sex with don't was you and babies any more, some of girls will suicide. Just want everything to go out of head. And thinks that everything will end.BUT NO!! because who will be the most sad?? Your mom or your dad not your boyfriend. If you suicide noting will change. and no way that your boy friend will think of you.
Many teenager suicide after Pregnant or after your boyfriend left you.But the people that done that never thinks of their parents.How will your parent can live in this world after you died. Your parent will miss you and live live in this world without happiness .
