Youth is a very important period in the life of man.
This is the time when a
person discovers the world and tries to determine the
place in the universe. Young
people face lots of problems which are very important
for them.
One of the major problems is generation gap or
misunderstanding between
<span>the young and
the old. Every
generation is unique.
It has its
ideals and values. </span>
Young people want to be independent while parents try
to control and limit them.
As a result the young protest and shock their parents
with their dress, language,
<span>behaviour. </span><span>Another problem
is drug addiction as
well as alcohol
abuse and smoking. </span>
They ruin young people‘s health and all their life. As
a result they don‘t have a
good job and a family. Today much more girls become
pregnant under the age of
<span>18 and have
abortions than several
decades ago. About
one fifth of
teenagers, </span>
arrested for criminal actions, are younger than 14
years old. Most adults say that it
happens because young people don‘t know how to spend
plenty of free time that
they have. That‘s why they gather in groups in the
streets and break the law.
<span>When young people
have graduated they
start looking for
a job. Some </span>
cannot find it and become unemployed. Unemployment is
another serious problem.
<span>It is very
actual nowadays. Trying
to solve the
problem some young
people go </span>
abroad and look for a job there. Another solution is
to upgrade their qualifications
or do retraining for another job. It takes time and
effort.
Young people can also have problems concerning
communication, problems
with friends. Today young people can choose between
traditional and new ways of
<span>communication.
The Internet gives
a great opportunity
of communication. But </span>
some young people abuse it and can spend hours in
social networks. Such young
people do not eat, sleep, work or learn properly. They
start ignoring their family
<span>and friends. And it is a great problem of the present
and future. </span><span>It may seem
that young people
are all unemployed,
aggressive and in </span><span>trouble.
But that‘s not true. I
think three quarters of them
do more or
less what </span><span>their parents did.
They practice sports, visit art schools and attend various study </span>
groups. They do their best at school, find some kind
of work in the end, and get
<span>married in their
early twenties. They
get on well
with their parents,
and enjoy </span><span>family life.</span>
