Young Generation - Absolutely Impolite and Disorganized???
Dmitry Lagno, 10b

Nowadays we are often told that young generation is absolutely impolite and disorganized. As for me, I partially agree with this opinion as there are various facts that support it.
To begin with, teenagers are reluctant to listen to their parents` advice because teens are absolutely convinced that they are always right and consequently do not need any help. They feel like looking independent and confident but, of course, in fact they can neither live on their own nor manage with all difficulties themselves. Moreover, teenagers are often very selfish and self-absorbed. They think, they are much better than other people. They do not understand that you will be treated by people the way you treat them. In addition, I strongly believe that teenagers` behavior is influenced by mass media. Today most of young people have TV-sets as well as computers with permanent Internet connection in their bedrooms. Therefore, despite the fact that a lot of TV programmes are inappropriate for teens they watch them because few parents actually check up what their children watch. So, programmes containing offensive language, scenes of violence and loud screeches influence teens badly. It is really difficult for children to determine the difference between the reality and the fantasy. Hence, they start imitating the violent behaviour they see in their favourite programmes.

However, there are people who oppose this view. They suppose that teens seem to be rude and selfish due to their age. Their character is changing; they are growing up and have to take responsibilities and responsibility for their actions. It is very difficult for them to cope with these problems, that is why they become aggressive.
In conclusion, I believe that a lot depends on parents and the way a child is brought up. If a teenager has common sense, then he or she will be able to solve any problem and improve his or her behavior.
