Today’s teenagers have more money and expensive possessions than their parents ever did. Articles like radios and bicycles, that cost a fortune few decades ago, are now mass-produced and cheap. And items that nobody even dreamt of possessing few years ago, such as mobile phones and computers, are now commonplace. Teenagers are definitely better off financially. However life is not easy for them. There is much more to worry about than there was in the past. Jobs are not as secure as they used to be, and teenagers can no longer be confident that the world will always be peaceful and free of pollution. Teenagers drive their parents crazy in many ways. Some of them spray their hair with amazing colours, while others wear clothes that shock their parents. They all want their own stereos, mobile phones and televisions. And these young people are not really behaving differently from how their parents behaved when they were young. Many of today’s parents and grandparents will laugh when they remember the crazy fashions they wore. Those adults, who are parents now, fought with their own parents about clothes and lifestyles. At last, teenagers have fought with their parents when time began – and no doubt they always will!Being a Teenager
