In our opinion young people are strongly concerned about their appearance, especially worried about what the others think about them. Some kids wear clothes which their parents can hardly afford, but they feel forced to buy because they want their children to look as good as or even better than the others.

In the old days, teenagers used to play with other kids and didn’t worry so much about what to wear or about what the others thought about them. Nowadays, kids don’t want to go outside and play; instead they remain in their houses, playing computer games or surfing the net.

As a conclusion, we can say this lifestyle is not good to society: people don’t talk to each other anymore… at least face to face. We believe that young people should open their minds and leave technology aside and find other hobbies where they could spend some quality time with other people.

In our opinion, young people talk about games, music, movies, cars and clothes.

On one hand, boys prefer talking about motorbikes, cars and games; on the other hand, girls talk about music, movies and mainly about clothes and shoes… they talk about it every day.

We think young people are influenced by games, movies, tv programmes, music stars, movie stars and most of all by their peers.

In our opinion friends have a great influence concerning addictions and lifestyles. Unfortunately the most dangerous ones are drugs and alcohol, which many young people feel attracted regardless what bad effects they may have in their lives.

As a conclusion we can say that young people don’t seem to be as complicated as some people say.

Being tolerant is not easy. It is hard, but it’s a very important attitude to have and a value that all of us, young people and adults, must respect.

Only by being tolerant, we are able to live in a peaceful world and, especially in peace with ourselves.

From the point of view of society, tolerance is the ability of a person or social group to accept another person or social group, which has a different attitude from the ones which  rules their own group.

Being more tolerant is much easier than we might think. The best way to exercise this attitude is to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes.

It is necessary to realise why such a person acts in such a way, the causes and consequences that were inherent in such behaviours. Being tolerant is not an unconditional acceptance of everything. Being tolerant means being able to choose how you want to feel.

Being tolerant requires self knowledge, discipline, attention and love for oneself.

In our opinion, young people just want to enjoy life, play games, drive, be with friends, smoke, drink, fall in love,…

Once we are going to grow up and will not have the chance to enjoy life, because of work, family and social obligations, why shouldn’t we have fun while we can? Consequently, we think that we need to enjoy life but with consciousness and responsibility to make the right choices.
