John McCarthy thinks that being young brings a lot of serious problems.
Estelle Hammersley thinks that being young is a kind of duty and makes you feel responsible for what you do.
Bart Naik thinks that being young allows you to do exciting and wonderful things.
John thinks that teenage life is very difficult and full of worries. Estelle also says that there are many problems, but she still finds some things fun. Bart has a positive attitude and believes that being a teenager is great fun.
Teenage years do not bring luck to John and Estelle in the same way as to Bart. John sees them as a hard and scary time, Estelle as a duty, and Bart as a happy and free period.
John and Estelle usually discuss drugs, alcohol, sex, violence, and other serious personal problems with their friends. John finds drugs, alcohol, sex, and the influence of mates serious. Estelle thinks that pressure to drink and smoke, as well as school work and personal problems, are serious.
Bart and his friends talk about discos, parties, politics, boyfriends, girlfriends, and plans for the weekend. He does not think these things are very serious.
John says that mates influence teenagers a lot. Estelle also mentions pressure from friends, especially to drink and smoke. Bart, on the other hand, says that his friends do not put much pressure on him.
They spend time together by talking, going out on weekends, meeting in groups, and attending discos and parties.
John calls the world “a very scary place” because violence, teen pregnancy, AIDS, drugs, and alcohol are becoming more common.
Estelle thinks that being a teenager is “a chore” because teenagers have to go to school, get good grades, and deal with their own problems. At the same time, they also face pressure from other people.
They think that adults are often indifferent to teenagers’ problems. John says that parents think teenagers are old enough to decide for themselves and let them do what they want. They do not really approve of this attitude, because they feel teens need more attention and support.
“Teenagers today have a lot more to worry about than their parents ever did.” — John McCarthy.
“Being a teenager is a chore.” — Estelle Hammersley.
“Being a teenager is great fun.” — Bart Naik.
Personally, Bart’s attitude towards life appeals to me most because he is positive and relaxed. I disagree with John’s opinion that teenage life is only full of problems, because there are also many good and interesting things in it.
