Слайд 1Teenagers and their problems
Слайд 3Teenagers are a group of young people of the age
of thirteen – nineteen years old.
They stand somewhere between childhood
and adulthood. In other words, they are no longer kids, but not adults yet. Teens want to be regarded like adults, they demand freedom and independence, they protest against the parents’ control and care, they try to express their own identity and show off.
Слайд 4That’s why teens try out all sort of options: they
join different youth groups, wear shocking clothes, start smoking, drinking
alcohol and even taking drugs. Some try sex at the age of 14-15. Not very clever, isn’t it?
Слайд 6Teenagers are overwhelmed with different problems. These problems are quite
serious and they can't be considered trifles.
Слайд 7Teenagers have psychological problems which can be explained by their
psychological instability. This is the reason of their strange &
sometimes aggressive behavior. Their aggression can be aimed at their friends, teachers, parents and people around them. If these problems aren't solved & regulated by experienced specialists, psychologists, teachers it can lead to far more serious problems.
Слайд 8The problem number one is misunderstandings with parents. Parents often
interfere into the life of their children. They always doubt
in their independence.
Слайд 9All teens want to be independent, they don’t like when
their parents try to rule every step of their life.
Adults don’t like teens’ clothes and music. They often try to treat teenagers like small children. The conflict with parents is very difficult to solve.
But if you really want to solve it you must try to understand each other.
Слайд 10The problem number two contains communication with each other. At
our age it’s so important to choose a true friend
who can listen to you, support in any situation, and advise something useful.
Слайд 11Some teens have problems in communication with their mates because
their clothes or appearance are not so bright. Sometimes the
reason can be lack of money for fashionable clothes, sometimes parents don’t want to buy the types of clothes teens like, thinking they are unacceptable.
Слайд 12At the same time teachers make them obey the school
rules and conform to society’s standards. Lack of respect to
the youngsters’ opinions and vision of the world can result in rebellion and violence at school.
Слайд 13This 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 course you’ll earn more money, make your life better.
And the best way to prepare is to study better at school.
Слайд 14Another problem is smoking. It doesn't only damage their own
health but the health of those around them. It kills
2 mln people a year. Each cigarette knocks five minutes off life. Millions of teenagers know it's bad for them, but they still do it. Why? Here are some of the most common reasons. It relaxes the person when he's nervous; he likes the taste; his friends smoke; it has become a habit impossible to resist.
Слайд 15Teenagers don't realize the harm alcohol does to their health,
they just don't want it to the privilege of grown-ups
but unlike grown-ups they are notable to drink responsibly.
For many teenagers, alcohol is a sign that they are growing up. It is 'cool' to drink.
Слайд 16The most difficult and serious problem of modern teen-agers is
drug-habit. Some young men use drugs, because they think that
they will be cool guys. And they do different serious offences, because they need some money to buy drugs.
Слайд 17The tragedy of a young person dying because of overwhelming
hopelessness or frustration is devastating to family, friends, and community.
Parents, siblings, classmates, coaches, and neighbors might be left wondering if they could have done something to prevent that young person from turning to suicide.
The reasons behind a teen's suicide can be complex.
Слайд 18When a person is young he goes through all the
problems more vividly. For teenagers nearly everything becomes a tragedy.
Love, friendship, conflicts, misunderstanding between them & parents are all the things that go hand in hand with youth.

positive level and without any conflicts.
