My name is Maria and I’m a teenager.
I’m 15 years old. In fact, children aged
13 to 19 are considered to be teenagers.
In my opinion, it is one of the best
periods of life. Although, there are, of
course, some advantages and
disadvantages of this age group. It isn’t
always easy to be a teenager. Boys and
girls often meet their first love when
they are teenagers. This type of love can
be unhappy. Many teenagers start
smoking and drinking alcohol, which is
not good at all. They simply don’t know
how unhealthy it can be. This way they
want to look older and more mature. I
think this is the age when parents should
keep an eye on their children to help
them overcome such problems. In many
countries, teenagers have jobs while they
are still at school. It is a good way to
keep busy. When teens do something
useful and have interesting hobbies, they
are less seen in bad companies. Of
course, these jobs are not full-time
because pupils should also attend their
classes during the day. Part-time jobs are
a good solution in this situation. One of
my English pen-friends does a part-time
job. She wakes up early and delivers
newspapers in the neighborhood. Then,
she goes to school. It’s a low-paid job but
she still likes it. At least, she gets some
pocket money. I wish I could do
something similar in my town.
Unfortunately, I almost don’t have any
free time. I’m now at a high school and I
study hard to pass the exams. Other than
that, I attend special IT workshops for
my future career. In the end, when I
have some free time left I read books.
Reading is one of my favourite hobbies.
As you see, unlike many teenagers, I have no time for bad habits.

<span><span>Young
people cannot live in isolation. They are looking for a communication, they
want to have fun and a good time. That's why the majority of young people are
trying to make friends and join the big companies in different youth groups. Some
of these groups are engaged in research, compose and perform music, go to the
mountains, enjoy exploring the past of our country and study the past of our
country and take care of veterans.This is great! But there are some youth
groups that choose to use alcohol and drugs, they are promoting hatred,
violence and racial hostility. These are bad groups. It's very hard to choose a
group for young people and teenagers because they don't have enough life
experience. That's why young people need to listen to the views of their
parents and teachers. I will never join the group that can ruin my life and
health.
</span>Молодежь не может жить в одиночестве. Они ищут общения, хотят веселиться
и хорошо проводить время. Вот почему большинство молодых людей стараются
дружить большими компаниями и вступать в разные молодежные группы. Некоторые
такие группы занимаются научными исследованиями, сочиняют и исполняют
музыкальные произведения, ходят в горы, изучают прошлое нашей страны,
заботятся о ветеранах. Это здорово! Но есть такие молодежные группы, которые
предпочитают употреблять алкоголь и наркотики, они пропагандируют ненависть,
насилие и расовую неприязнь. Это плохие группы. Молодым людям очень трудно
сделать выбор, потому что у них не хватает жизненного опыта. Вот почему
подросткам необходимо прислушиваться к мнению родителей и учителей. Я никогда
не вступлю в группу, которая может испортить мне жизнь и здоровье.</span>
