Our age is so strange. We know that we are on the way to become adults. But this way is so hard. And we teenagers usually stay alone with our thoughts, because nobody even we ourselves understand what is happening around us. There are a lot of problems – that is what we know exactly. And problems are everywhere and we cannot expect why and where they come from. This is very difficult time though some people think that it is the best time. And what is more it"s hard to stay quite and calm. Every young generation has more complicated problems than previous. And maybe nowadays teenagers have more problems then other generations. And this difference awakes misunderstandings with parents. Sometimes it seems that our parents are too tiresome and dull in their demands. And also they often interfere into our life. Parents always say that we are lazy and can"t do anything except rest. Moreover they give not much money, and we hardly can find a job because in our age we cannot be responsible for money of firm or do some kinds of job. And there is a great problem: parents also always doubt in our independence. Our age – is time of making a choice what we will be in future, what we want to do and how. So we have to choose the university to have better education and future profession. If you have a good education you"ll be always perfect at you profession and of coarse you"ll earn more money, make your life better. And the best way to prepare is to study better at school. The school ages are also very difficult. We do a lot of homework and even have no time to go for a walk or do whatever we want. Another problem in school – marks. And we try to do our best to have good marks. But our parents never like them. And for boys there is such problem like conscription. And nowadays it" Also nowadays a problem of drugs is very actual. A lot of teenagers have drug addiction. And sometimes they use drugs not because of that they want. And it often leads to bad ends. Moreover, you may have problems with health. Emotional problems for young people can be far more difficult than financial ones. The typical teenager problem is that "nobody understands me". Youth is also the time to meet your first love. It is of coarse wonderful but as it is widely known that first love often has an unhappy end. This also increases young people"s problems. Even friends cannot always stay friends when young people begin to understand themselves a little bit better old friends sometimes just grow apart. And sometimes you have problems in communicating with each other and you even stay alone. So as you see it"s very difficult to be young nowadays as indeed it always was. But you only can be young ones and some wonderful things can happen to you only when you"re young. So it"s better to enjoy youth while it lasts.

It has never been easy to be a teenager. I believe that the teenage period is the most important one in our life. It is the time when we receive our education and try to learn the right from the wrong.

Teenage hormones make young people more sensitive and emotional than usual. They feel quite miserable, hurt and rejected when they split up with their friends. Young boys and girls often suffer from depressions. Moreover, they constantly have serious arguments with their overprotective parents who try to control everything their children do and do not allow everything they want. Strong parents’ pressure to do well in school can also be really annoying for teens.

Teens often face a lot of problems in their relations with parents, teachers and friends. Sometimes they are teased or bullied by their elder brothers or other peers. They also need to be free and independent, so they can feel ashamed while going shopping with their mothers, for example. Some young people get jealous when their friends own a more expensive smart-phone model or a more fashionable piece of clothes.

There are young people who join teenage groups or gangs in order to express their individuality, to increase their self-esteem and to feel accepted and secure. However some subcultures are quite aggressive and opposed to the normal standards in our society. In many gangs teens start using drugs or alcoholic drinks and committing crimes.

One of the main problems among teenage girls is their worry about the body image. They compare themselves with other beautiful and fit girls in their class or even some celebrities and they strongly wish to look like them. This unhealthy self-esteem leads to serious eating disorders and such illnesses as anorexia and bulimia. Girls refuse to eat food in order to change their body shape and to become skinny and then gradually they can’t eat at all.

Most teenagers don’t know how to cope with their problems because they don’t feel like sharing their emotions and discussing them with their parents or friends. Young people are usually afraid of disapproval and misunderstanding. In this case it may be useful to consult a professional psychologist who can offer some good advice and probably give a helping hand.

Перевод

Быть подростком никогда не было легко. Полагаю, что подростковый период является наиболее важным в нашей жизни. Это время, когда мы получаем образование и пытаемся отличить плохое от хорошего.

Подростковые гормоны делают молодежь более чувствительной и эмоциональной, чем обычно. Они чувствуют себя довольно несчастными, обиженными и отвергнутыми, если расстаются с друзьями. Молодые парни и девушки часто страдают от депрессий. Более того, у них постоянно происходят серьезные ссоры с чрезмерно опекающими родителями, пытающимися контролировать все, чем занимаются их дети и не позволяющими делать, что им хочется. Сильное родительское давление на успехи в школе также очень раздражает подростков.

Подростки часто сталкиваются со множеством проблем в отношениях с родителями, учителями и друзьями. Иногда их дразнят или травят старшие братья или другие сверстники. Им также необходимо быть свободными и независимыми, поэтому им становится стыдно выходить за покупками вместе с матерью, к примеру. Некоторые молодые люди ревностно относятся к друзьям, имеющим более дорогую модель смартфона или более модную одежду.

Существует молодежь, вступающая в подростковые группы или банды для того, чтобы выразить свою индивидуальность, повысить самооценку и почувствовать себя признанным и защищенным. Однако некоторые неформальные группы довольно агрессивны и противопоставляют себя нормам нашего общества. Во многих группировках подростки начинают принимать наркотики или алкогольные напитки и совершают преступления.

Одной из основных проблем среди девушек-подростков является их беспокойство по поводу своей внешности. Они сравнивают себя с другими красивыми и стройными девушками в классе или даже со знаменитостями и очень хотят стать похожими на них. Эта нездоровая самооценка приводит к серьезным нарушениям в питании и таким заболеваниям, как анорексия и булимия. Девушки отказываются принимать пищу для того, что изменить свои формы и стать худыми и затем, постепенно, они вообще не могут есть.

Большинство подростков не знают, как справиться со своими проблемами, поскольку им не хочется делиться своими чувствами и обсуждать их с родителями или друзьями. Молодежь обычно боится осуждения и непонимания. В этом случае, возможно будет полезной консультация профессионального психолога, который сможет предложить хороший совет и протянуть руку помощи.

Youth problems

Nowadays every person understands that our world has changed very much in comparison with the last years. But the main thing is not that humanity has undergone scientific and technical revolution, but the change of the inner world of people. Especially it concerns young people.

Youth is the part of society who saves and follows the traditions of preceding generations. They possess such powerful force that is able to invert this world heels over head. Sure, this force must be directed at peaceful aims and be embodiment only of true values. However, modern youth do not keep their culture in such way. Thus, the new age is the newyoung people.

In my opinion, there are some basis factors influencing on it. One of them is our society. It influences the formation of the teenagers’ true values more than their families do. A child grows in a family where he gets education and there is his primary socialization. But he or she has to make contacts with other people and their influence is not far always positive. Besides, there are different youth subcultures. Not all their values are true values. Many of them have the aim to oppose public foundations. Thus they damage teenagers’ minds and can incite them against the whole world.

Another factor influencing young people is mass media. There are a lot of violent programmes and articles on TV and in printed press. Negative characters become the ideal heroes for children who try to imitate their behavior in real life. Teenagers become more nervous and aggressive, their psyche is seriously damaged and very often some of them commit crimes. So I considerthat crime is one of the main problems of modern youth.

It is known that children and teenagers crime is growing. Practically all the criminals are young people .It is caused by social inequality, poverty, availability of alcohol and drugs. As the aim of all public debates is getting material welfare, young people try to get it at any price without making efforts. They steal, violate and kill other people. In these cases the number of criminals among teenagers increases and that is natural and inevitable.

Alcohol and drugs are also among the most actual problems nowadays. Children get their first experience in alcohol or drug use while studying at school. They do not understand how dangerous it is, how harmful it is for their health. Children see beautiful life with cigarettes and drugs in films and try to behave like their heroes. They become addicted to these things and degraded later.

However, I think not all the youth are such bad people without any moral standards and behavior who doesn’t think about their future. The most of them have true values, they are ready to study and work hard to enjoy the life. But young people cannot do it without the help of the adults. They need their strong support and advices. Therefore the adults should lead the youth on to the right way of life, teach them to overcome difficulties and always be close to them.

В современное время каждый человек осознает, что мир очень сильно изменился по сравнению с прошлыми годами. И главное не то, что человечество претерпело научно-техническую революцию, а то, как изменился внутренний мир людей. Особенно это касается молодежи.

Молодежь - часть общества, которая сохраняет и следует традициям предшествующих поколений. Она обладает такой мощной силой, что способна перевернуть этот мир с ног на голову. Безусловно, эта мощь должна быть направлена на мирные цели и воплощать только истинные ценности. Однако современная молодежь не сохраняет культуру подобным образом. Новый век, таким образом, новая молодежь.

По моему мнению, существует несколько основных факторов, влияющих на это. Один из них - наше общество. Оно больше, чем семья, влияет на формирование истинных ценностей у подростков. Ребенок растет в семье, где получает воспитание и где происходит его первичная социализация. Но он или она должны общаться и с другими людьми, и их влияние далеко не всегда положительное. Кроме того, существует различные молодежные субкультуры. Не все их ценности являются правильными ценностями. Цель многих из них - противостояние общественным устоям. Таким образом, они вредят разумам подростков и могут настроить их против всего мира.

Другим фактором, влияющим на молодежь, являются средства массовой информации. На телевидении и в газетах, журналах содержится множество программ и статей насильственного характера. Отрицательные персонажи становятся идеальными героями для детей, которые пытаютсяповторять их поведение в реальной жизни. Подростки становятся более нервными и агрессивными, их психика серьезно нарушается, и очень часто некоторые из них совершают преступления. Поэтому, я считаю, что преступность - одна из основных проблем современной молодежи.

Известно, что детская и подростковая преступность растет. Практически все преступники - это молодые люди. Это вызвано социальным неравенством, бедностью, доступностью алкоголя и наркотиков. Так как цель общественной идеологии заключается в достижении материального блага, то молодые люди пытаются получить это любой ценной, не прикладывая усилий. Они крадут, насилуют, убивают других людей. В этих условиях количество преступников среди молодежи увеличивается, и это явление естественное и неизбежное.

Алкоголь и наркотики также находятся среди самых актуальных проблем на сегодня. Дети впервые пробуют алкоголь и наркотики, еще учась в школе. Они не понимают насколько опасно это, насколько вредно это для их здоровья. Дети видят в фильмах красивую жизнь посредством сигарет и наркотиков и ведут себя так же, как их герои. Позже они становятся зависимыми от этих вещей и деградируют.

Однако, я думаю, что не вся молодежь - такие плохие люди, у которых отсутствуют моральные качества и достойное поведение, которые не думают о своем будущем. Многие из них обладают истинными ценностями, они готовы усиленно учиться и работать, чтобы получать наслаждение от жизни. Но без помощи старшего поколения молодые люди не смогут этого сделать. Им нужны их крепкая поддержка и советы. Поэтому взрослым необходимо вести молодежь по правильной дороге жизни, учить преодолевать трудности и всегда быть рядом.

Introduction

The topic of my work is “The problems of modern teenagers ”.
The life of a teenager can be complicated sometimes. It is a difficult age and there are many problems on the way of becoming adults. For example, the choice of free-time activities, parent-child misunderstanding, the choice of future profession, dealing with the first love and so on. All teenagers have their own views on their life and future. They often stay alone with their thoughts because nobody seems to understand them. In this situation it’s better to talk to someone who is more experienced in life matters. One of the most common problems is the misunderstanding between teens and their parents. It has always been a problem but each generation becomes more difficult than the previous. Teenagers think that they are old enough to have their own opinion, while their parents don’t take their opinion into account. It is not right. Adults should try to give more attention to their children especially at such a difficult age. Teenagers also need more freedom of choice and less pressure. They are the future of our country and a lot depends on what kind of people they will become. The problem of drug is also actual at this age. Many teenagers suffer from drug addiction. It often leads to health problems and serious consequences. Other issues include smoking and drinking alcohol. Clearly there are a lot of problems in teenagers’ lives. That’s why I think this topic is very important and interesting to study nowadays.
The aim of the research is to define some of the teenage problems and to find out what problems do the teenagers of our school and my friends in the Internet face.

The object of the research is the young people aged 14-17
The subject of our work is – the problems of the modern youth. According to the aim we put the following problems:
- to describe some of the problems that teenagers have;
- to examine the teenagers of our school about some of the problems;
- to interview the young people in the Internet about the difficulties they have.

Body of the research

There are a lot of teenagers in our country. A teenager is a person from thirteen to nineteen years of age. And young people face as many difficulties as grown-up people do.

Problems that teenagers are faced with today can take so many forms. Even in stable, solid family units, teenagers will face confusion and uncertainty with themselves and life.
Common teenager problems include: conflicts with parents, bad habits, bullying, first love, computer and TV addiction.

Let"s examine each of these problems.

Conflicts with parents.

Most typical problems for teenagers are conflicts with adults. During the teen years children often try to gain independence from their parents. They may push limits, break rules and overstep boundaries. It has always been a problem but each generation becomes more difficult than the previous this fact can be called “a generation gap” - the problem of fathers and sons. Teens usually want to be independent and show this to our parents. And this is kind of depressing when our parents try to control everything we do. Our parents usually don’t understand the clothes that we wear and the music that we listen to. We have different tastes. Teenagers think that they are old enough to have their own opinion, while their parents don’t take their opinion into account. It is not right. Adults should try to give more attention to their children especially at such a difficult age.

Bad habits.
Many young teenagers begin to smoke and drink alcohol at the age of thirteen or fourteen. They do it because they want to look cool in the eyes of their mates. The problem of drug is also actual at this age. Many teenagers suffer from drug addiction. It often leads to health problems and serious consequences. Other issues include smoking and drinking alcohol.

Bullying.
Every day thousands of teens wake up afraid of going to school. Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students. They often stay alone with their thoughts because nobody seems to understand them. In this situation it’s better to talk to someone who is more experienced in life matters. The word “bullying” covers different situations. Name calling, stealing, abuse of any kind are the forms of bullying. There is a clear definition of bullying; “It is an attempt to hurt, threaten of frighten someone.”
Abuse, stealing, threatening and blackmail are all forms of bullying. Racism can be called bullying. Making someone feel not good or less good about themselves is bullying.
A bully is a person who physically or verbally hurts someone. A bully can be boy, a girl, a man or woman. A bully usually picks on people who cannot defend themselves.
Bullying is wrong and is anyone is bullying they should get punished.
The victims should talk to someone about how they feel after the bullying. Bullying must spoken about. Teenagers and adults should try to prevent bullying. Prevention is better than cure. Nowadays many teenagers use Childline just to have someone to talk about their problems, a person who will listen to and won’t criticize.

First love.

Teenagers often meet their first love. It is a wonderful time for them and one of the best stages of life. This event stays in one’s memory forever. Unfortunately, the first love can have unhappy endings. It leads to problems in communication even with the best friends.

Computer and TV addiction.

Computer addicts are the minority of computer users but there is no doubt that more and more young people are depending on their computer. Today most of young people have TV-sets as well as computers with permanent Internet connection in their bedrooms. Therefore, despite the fact that a lot of TV programmes are inappropriate for teens they watch them because few parents actually check up what their children watch. So, programmes containing offensive language, scenes of violence and loud screeches influence teens badly. It is really difficult for

The Problems of the Teenagers. Kate Titarenko, secondary school №4 p. Karymskoe, Grade 9.

children to determine the difference between the reality and the fantasy. Hence, they start imitating the violent behaviour they see in their favourite programmes.

Being independent. Are you expected to make choices? Do your parents encourage you to be independent in your everyday life? American parents do. They believe strongly that a person should have the freedom to decide what should be done today and in the future. Parents encourage their children from an early age to be independent, to be responsible, to respect their society and their country, to work hard and to believe in God.
Very often even small children decide themselves how o decorate their bedrooms or what toys to play with. Teenagers have lots of choices to make: at school they choose between sports or music, French or German, economic or social studies. They choose who their friends are and how to earn their pocket money, for

example by babysitting or carrying newspapers. They also choose how to spend the money that they have earned: buying computer games, travelling or just going to a disco.
Parents and teachers are always ready to help the teenagers with their decisions. But it’s very important to be independent and to believe in yourself.

Conclusion

We did the research to find out what problems do teenagers of modern time have.
Our work proved that the young people have different problems beginning with choosing a good friend and ending with drug usage.

We proved that we have some problems but we are sure that we will be able to solve them properly. I think that the young people in other countries have such problems too. The best way to solve them is to be yourself and be responsible for your life.
As you see it’s very difficult to be young nowadays as indeed it always was. But you only can be young ones and some wonderful things can happen to you only when you’re young. So it’s better to enjoy youth while it lasts.
