Teenagers nowadays

1. TEENAGERS NOWADAYS
Nowadays, teenagers have
changed in comparison with
the teens in the past, taking
into account eating habits,
an active way of life,
spending free time and
clothes. They are a
“technology” generation.
For teens in today world
mobile phones, internet,
music, movies, television
and video games are very
important. Most teenagers
prefer watching TV and
playing computer games to
reading books. They don’t like reading because watching TV is easier and they don’t have to
use their own imagination. Computer games teach but they are also harmful to health.
Teenagers prefer to spend free time in front of a computer rather than to walk, play football
or go to a swimming pool. Moreover, games transfer them into the world which doesn’t exist.
It is very exciting for the youth. They meet with friends in such places as McDonalds. Teens
eat there unhealthy food. They eat too much fast food.

Every teenager needs a balanced diet, appropriate personal hygiene and physical activities in
the fresh air, for example, playing a ball, going running, swimming, driving on the bicycle,
playing in tennis or walking. This should be for them more interesting than sitting for hours in
front of a computer or TV because such a mode of life leads to the improvement of mood,
health and physical shape.. Young people choose less healthy kinds of entertainment than
sport, putting away bicycles in the corner. They eat too much fast, unhealthy food, which is
very fatty and drink too many sugary drinks. This leads to obesity. However, nowadays young
people, especially girls, allow themselves to grow fat, or torture themselves with diets, which
leads to various diseases with physical basis like anorexia and bulimia. Young people must not
give up food, especially breakfasts because skipping breakfast is a frequent cause of fainting
which can cause frequent complications and even leads to death. It is crucial to limit the
amount they eat, but only in a reasonable way, if at all possible after the consultation with
the dietician. Young people have to remember, that a healthy lifestyle requires appropriate
nourishment, but they also must not forget about personal hygiene.

2. Personal hygiene plays a very important role in healthy lifestyle. It should be an indispensable
element in the life of every young man. Its task is the maintenance and strengthening of
health. Notable part of young people think that taking a shower once a week, wearing sweaty
clothes and splashing over them with a deodorant is proper, but it is not. For example, before
a young man goes to bed, he should develop a habit of not being able to fall asleep without
having a bath first. Everyday toilet will prevent skin diseases as complexion of every person
requires systematic nurturing: washing in soft water, abrasion, creaming and protecting
before diseases. Therefore personal hygiene institutes an important part of healthy lifestyle
and it cannot be skipped, just like physical activity.
Physical activity has a large influence on young people lifestyle. Physical activity
improves health condition in various ways. It helps the organism to utilize the calories better,
which helps to maintain a desirable weight. Physical activity reduces the appetite and helps
in the reduction of the fatty mass of the body. The beneficial influence of physical activity on
health mood does not raise any doubts any more. The research reveals that regular training
among the youth( and not only, but also by people at any age) is an important factor
improving the health. However, too little popularity of psychical activities among the young
people is a huge problem. It is a frequent and more and more general problem and causes
various diseases such as: heart failure, lungs deficiency, spine problems etc.
Here is a list of advantages of physical activity:

• reduces the risk of heart diseases

Psychologically, parents needs to always support their children and encourage them to have
a healthy routine and life. This motivation will lead the students to care about their health.
To lose weight, it needs a strong will and determination plus a set goal for students who are
obese to pursuit. How to develop this so called iron will? It is for us to achieve by ourselves.

in order to effectively fight with overweight and obesity. To get rid the excess of fat, we can
cultivate different kinds of the sport, depending for age, sex or interests. However you should

3. Another aspect worth mentioning is communication via the Internet, especially instant
messaging, has become an
essential feature of teens’
social lives. Teenagers
say, that this can be very
helpful to communicate,
learn and can be fun.
Through the Internet they
can download music and
other files and play
on-line games, for
example, with their real
or virtual friends. What is
more, cells are very
popular among teenagers
and can be used to do a
lot of things: we can
communicate with friends using them, have a nice time playing games, listen to music and
also watch films. For a lot of young people mobile phones are indispensable and they simply
cannot imagine life without them.
Teenagers’ clothes in the twenty-first century have also changed a lot. The clothes they
wear depend on current trends since it is important to follow fashion. School uniforms aren’t
so popular today like in the past. Girls more often wear jeans than skirts, boys wear wide
sweatshirts and trousers. The fact is that nowadays teens get dressed in clothes which are
comfortable for them.
All in all, it can be stated that the lifestyle of teenagers depends on many factors. It is
connected with the constant development which is taking place and as a result is different
from the lifestyle of young people in the past. Every young man should lead a healthy lifestyle
independently of age or interests. This should be one of the things that you do every single
day. According to many scholars that is the liability of every man, and everyone should try to
take the advantage of this life the best he or she can. Young people should be aware of
positive influence of healthy lifestyle on health and mood. This in effect would give them
better results in studying and what is more important they would be pleased with good health
much longer.

“Be whatever you want to be…Be free..Just break the chains from this
cage made of reproaches built up by persons who don't know you and have
no right to judge. You're unique!!!...”
