Teenagers in Ukraine

Nastia Lisova lives in Ukraine. In her opinion, when you become a teenager, you understand that the childhood has gone and it is time to think about choosing your future profession, your future life and further education. She has known for a long time that leaving school is the beginning of a far more serious examination of her abilities and character.

It is difficult to choose one of hundreds of jobs that would suit her most of all. She wants to be a teacher. It is really a hard job, because you should know perfectly the subject you teach, you must be well-educated and well- informed; you should develop kindness, love for the truth and beauty in your pupils. You also have to be responsible and thoughtful. With these traits of character you will be deeply respected by children. But the only thing that stops her is money paid for this job.

Another interesting sphere for Nastia is an advertising business — it takes much attention and imagination.

But do not think that teenagers in Ukraine are so boring that they think only about their future lives. Like teenagers in any other country they are interested in sport, music, discos and clothes. Most of their time they spend at school, especially when they have ten lessons like at some lyceums studying even on Saturday. But despite this many young people find time for different kinds of rest. Some go swimming or cycling, others prefer to stay at home and watch their favourite films or spend several hours in the Internet. Music lovers can find everything they like in it.

Mobile phones have become very popular with teenagers. Personally Nastia doesn't think that they are such an important part of the teenage life but they play a great role, in many unexpected situations.

The life of teenagers in Ukraine is as interesting and full of trouble as the life of young people around the world.
