Young people and their world

There are two groups of young people. The first group is formed by teenagers in the age from 13 to 19. These people aren’t children no more, but not yet adults. They attend school and they still live with their parents. It is quite simple to influence them. They are influenced by parents, friends and of course by society. They only want to find themselves, their lifestyle and their place in society. They want to form their personality and want to find their own style.

They like to experiment with their image. They experiment with their clothes very often. There are lot of reasons for it, for example if they want to fit in with friends and imitate them. They are usually members of groups of young people, which have their own rules and their members have to keep them. They can be dressed in one style, for example punk or rock style (they can wear leather clothes or disrupted jeans; they can have tattoos or piercing).

They want to be members of these groups, because they want to show their independence. The most frequently reason is that they have problems at home. They are arguing with parents. Their parents are too strict and they don’t understand to each other. For these people is very dangerous to be in these groups. They are quite simply to influence and they can get easy to drugs, alcohol or violence. That’s the reason why parents should talk with their children about everything. They should obtain their confidence and they should have understanding for them, if they want to protect them. 

Young people have lot of opportunities. They are young and they can do everything what they want, because they don’t have pledges. Of course from some certain age (when they are of age). It is different in different countries. In Slovakia it is 18, in USA it is the age of 21. From this age they are responsible for themselves. They can work and study; they can travel, recognize foreign land and obtain new experiences. It’s a big advantage to be young.

On the other hand there are also some disadvantages. In opinion of adults and elderly people are young people not enough responsible, they don’t have experiences. They think that young people can’t do things like they can. Elderly people think that they know everything better. 

Relationships between adults, elderly people and young people can be different. Elderly people always think that young people are cheeky, ill-mannered and foolish, they don’t know how should they behave. In opinion of young people elderly people always want to be right and are old. That is the reason why these relationships so tense.
