The Big Apple Teenagers

Teenagers nowadays(include me)
Recently, the issue of socialills amongst teenagers are hotly debated in this sociaty. More teenagers nowadays are becoming involved in social ills such as exortion, bullying, gangsterism, vandalism and even petty theff. This problem had become very serious in our country till our society become worry and anxious. Althought our society especially the government had found many ways to overcome this problem, this problem is still become more serious. Actually, in order to solve this problem, we should find the source of the social ills. There are a lot of reasons that contribute to this problemto be occur. The question is, what are reasons behind that cause the social ills amongst teenagers become more serious?
There too much pressure placed on teenagers had become one of the reasons of the social ills amongst teenager. As we know, teenagers nowadays have to face a lot of stress especially in their studies as they have to handle many subjects in their studies. Teenagers are too much emphasize on their exam and they have to study day and night in order to get flying colour in their exam. So that, they would not dissappoint their parent. This situation had caused teenagers become stress. Futhermore, the family especially parents would become one of the source that caused teenagers to become pressure and even fighting or quarrelling everyday. Some of them even divorce thus causing parents fail to be a good role model. This situation would cause teenagers become stress and they ‘may involve in the sociall ills in order to release their pressure.
Other than that, media influence would become the reasons of the social ills as well. The media such as internet. Tv program and others and broadcast those unhealthy issues from west country. As me know, mind of teenagers are not mature yet and they will absorb all of thinds without thinking. Terefore, while watching the tv program or surfing internet,they may be curious and learn the role of the movie. As a result,they will become unbehaviour,violent,and inpolite,and subsequently involve in the social ills.
Futhermore,lacking of traditional value had also due to the reasons of the social ill become serious amongst teenagers. In this modelization era,people are more pursue the material and more concern about their career or studies. People wooing the highly technology in order to make a fortune and have a comfortable living. It had caused them, especially teenagers to neglect the traditional value. It would cause the number of social ills amongst teenagers increase rapidly.
As a conclusion, this social ills problem would become worst if nobody try to solve this problem. Therefore,the government and authority should cooperate with others in order to take action against the problem as teenagers are playing an important role to the development of the country. We as teenagers should have responsibility and should not involved in the social ills.As a student, we do not need to feel shy with our friends or teacher. Ask what you don’t know. After that, make exercise at home such as the old saying says ‘practise make perfect’. Don’t give up and keep on doing until you are familiar with it.
Lastly,try to talk with friends. This is the best you should do. Don’t stop for a long time. If not, you will forget it. Look at the dictionary if you use ‘broken English’ for a beginning.
In conclusion, based on the discussion,English is very important to us. Learn, ask to the teachers and talk with friends can help to improve your English.

Teenagers and love(include me also)

It’s wonderful to be in love. It’s exciting, romantic, and fun, and you feel like nothing can go wrong.Sure, like the love songs say, love hurts sometimes. You worry, you wonder if the person you love really loves you, or if he or she is cheating on you. But knowing that love hurts doesn’t mean you should expect to get hurt – to be put down, slapped, embarrassed in front of your friends, pushed, yelled at, forced to have sex if you don’t want it, controlled by, or afraid of the person you’re going out with.
Getting hurt like that isn’t love. It’s dangerous. It’s
violence. It can happen to anybody, even if you’re
smart or popular or strong or sophisticated. And it
doesn’t matter who you’re seeing. It happens to
girls and to boys. It happens in same-sex
relationships.
At first, if it happens to you or to a friend, you might not get what’s going on. You’re thinking, “I can handle this. I can make it stop”; of “There’s no black eye. I’m not getting pushed down a stairway.” “I shouldn’t take put-downs so seriously.” Maybe you’re thinking, “He only gets jealous because he loves me.” “She only slapped me to show attitude.” “She won’t love me if I don’t do everything she wants, when she wants it.” “To show my love, I should want to spend every spare moment with him. ”Or maybe you do get it. You know things aren’t right, but you feel alone. You’re ashamed to tell your friends. You’re afraid the explosions and jealousy will get worse if you tell anyone. You’re afraid to tell your parents because they might make you break up. Maybe you also are afraid of losing your boyfriend or girlfriend. Maybe you think it’s worth it to put up with anything just to have someone special in your life. Every relationship has problems and upsets. That’s just part of life. But if you see patterns of uncontrolled anger, jealousy or possessiveness, or if there is shoving, slapping, forced sex, or other physical violence even once it’s time to find help.
Think about this. Imagine that your best friend is going with someone who thinks and acts that way. Would it seem okay? Would you want them to stop hurting each other? Would you treat your bestfriends like this. You have the right to be treated with respect and to not be harmed physically or emotionally by another person. Violence and abuse are not acceptable in any relationship. Love shouldn’t hurt like this. What’s the first step in turning the situation around? Take it seriously. Listen to yourself. If you feel that someone is abusing you, trust those feelings. Take it seriously. What’s the second step? Take care of yourself. You’re too valuable to settle for love that hurts. Don’t stay silent – find support and help. Believe it – it’s happening Nearly one in 10 high school students will experience physical violence from someone they’re going with. Even more teens will experience verbal or emotional abuse during the relationship. Between 10 and 25 percent of girls between the ages of 15 and 24 will be the victims of rape
or attempted rap. In more than half of those cases, the attacker is someone the girl goes out
with. Girls are not the only ones who are abused physically or emotionally in relationships. Boys
also experience abuse, especially psychological abuse. Boys rarely are hurt physically in
relationships, but when it happens, it’s often severe. Boys also can be pressured or forced into
unwanted sex, by girls or by other boys. Violence happens in same-sex relationships,
too. When it does, gay and lesbian teenagers often don’t know where to turn for help. If they are
not comfortable telling people that they’re gay, that makes their situation even harder.

In every culture, people have certain ideas about what it means to be a man or a woman. These ideas are called stereotypes. When you first start going out seriously, stereotypes can get you really confused about how you or the person you’re going with ought to behave. Boys often have the idea that it’s a “guy thing” to act tough and to treat girls like property, like they own them. Guys often try to get their friends’ approval by acting like they don’t care about
anything or anyone. Even a guy who likes a particular girl might show off for his friends by
treating her badly or acting like she’s been put on earth just to have sex with him. Girls often accept the idea that it’s a “guy thing” to push girls around, and so they should learn to go along with it. Girls also may believe it’s a “girl thing” to try to figure out and do whatever will keep their boyfriends happy. So, they may feel that they have to do only what the guy wants, or they may put up with the guy ignoring them, treating them badly around other guys, being really possessive, or being violent or abusive. Both girls and boys often have the idea that boys
can’t control themselves when it comes to sex. They may believe that if a man forces a woman to
have sex against her will, she was probably leading him in some way.




Remember: There’s no “guy thing” or “girl thing” when it comes to violence and abuse in relationships. There’s just the “right thing” and the “wrong thing”. Violence and abuse are always the wrong thing.
