Слайд 3 Teen’s life is not very easy, nowadays. Many
problems are associated with being young.
Слайд 4
Young people want to enjoy life and
be independent and be taken seriously, to express their individuality
and do well at school, earn money and change the world for the best. The problem is that sometimes teens do not get what they want. As a result, teenagers try to rebel against the society and reject everything. That is why they have different problems. The reasons of these problems are rather various.
Слайд 5The reasons of the problems are:
ambitions
Lack of
good life
The changes
of
our society
Misunderstandings
violence
Слайд 6By all means, a lot of the problems can be
solved.
If a teenager has any problem he can:
Cope with
it himself;
Ask his parents or friends;
Ask adults;
Ask school;
Ask the Government or special organizations.
Слайд 7To cope with problems
Teenagers should
Be given more rights;
Have an
opportunity to talk about their problems;
Be free to decide sometimes;
Should
know they are cared for.
Adults should
Be interested in teen’s life;
Care about young people;
Help to over come difficulties.
Слайд 8Sometimes teenagers can not cope with the difficulties and they:
Get upset and depressed;
Run away from the home;
Can
be sent to prison;
Become drug or alcohol addicted;
Can commit suicide.
Слайд 9But are there only problems in teen’s life?
Teenagers are young
and full of energy;
They have lots of friends;
Young people can
choose any route they want;
They are too young to see only bad sides of life.
Слайд 10Why is nothing ever easy?
Why are some boys so very
sleazy?
Why can’t I have that brand new dress?
Why am I
under so much stress?
Why don’ t my parents ever believe me?
Why can’t they ever see…
Why do I feel so often unhappy?
Why do they always wish I was still in a nappy?
Why does my face feel like a block of lard?
Why are all these years really hard?
There’s a reason for all these problems and tears.
I’m going through my TEENAGE YEARS!
A frustrated teenager,
Scarborough
Слайд 11Growing up, doesn’t it just suck?
It seems to be full
of constant bad luck?
Zits? Bad hair days and putting on
weight,
So many reasons for your self – hate.
But hey, you’re alive, you’re unique, you’re so cool,
Why do you always feel such a fool?
Be true to yourself, forget all your faults,
And you’ll soon be thinking much happier thoughts.
Live life to the max and paint your town red,
Who cares what people think and what they’re said?
Don’t let them win and make you feel bad,
“Cause people like that are really quite sad.
So, enjoy your teens and have some fun,
Your life has only just begun!
Lauren, Romford.
