...The Advantages and disadvantages of being young… Some people believe that being a teenager is so easy. They often enumerate numerous good things but some seem to forget about bad ones. Okay, I agree that our life is easier than adults, but still it’s not as great as it seems. When you are young you have less responsibilities – we don’t have to work because we live with parents who pay for the house, for our education and for many other things. They give us pocket money and we can do with it whatever we want. The next argument is that young people are in good health and full of energy. Most young people have clear minds and learn fast, but the most important thing is that we are young, free, have lots of friends and many opportunities. When you’re young you can decide about your future whether it be job, education or relationships. You get to choose the way your life and it can be good or bad. Many people say that’s good because you can decide by yourself what path you would like to choose, but I think that young people sometimes do not know what is good and what is bad – this often leads them into taking drugs and abusing alcohol. Many people think that being a teenager is a great thing – you don’t need to care about a lot and you can do what you want, but it is not as nice as they think. Young people have a lot to learn – if they want a good future with a well playing job. They study 8 hours a day at school and they also have a lot to learn outside of school. As a teenager...

...Advantages and disadvantages of being a teenager. Autor: jusia16 Dodano: 17.02.2010, 18:47 Teenagers are young people who do not know what is important in life. Being a teenager is easier than to be an adult. I do not agree with that because I am a teenager and I know what adults think about my lifestyle and behavior.

We can choose way for our life and it can be good or bad. Another advantage is that we live our life to the fullest. We shouldn't think about the future, we think about present. We shouldn't sit at home and watch TV, but should interest in spending our free time in different way. Teenagers are young and healthy. We don't to take tablets because we don't have the old age problems. We are strong. However, being a teenager has some disadvantages.

...Maddie and Her Second Language In schools around the world many young children have the opportunity to learn a second language. Some languages taught are: Spanish, French, German, Latin, and English. Even I studied Spanish in grades fourth through twelfth and it turn out to be a fun experience for me. But not every child enjoys learning a second language. Some kids may find it hard and confusing. There are many advantages and disadvantages for children who grow up learning a second language from a young age. If successful, learning a second language can lead to increased job opportunities when the children are older, or they can see it as a wasted of time if the child grew up learning the language, but never fully grasped it. This was the case with my little sister, Maddie, who’s older now but has been studying Spanish since she was in the first grade. She has faced many ups and downs when trying to learn this foreign language. This is her experience of studying Spanish as a second language. When Maddie started learning Spanish in the first grade it immediately affected how she performed in the rest of her subjects in school and in her other activities. The first disadvantage is that children may start to mix languages and get confused with the language structures. Children may start to use their native language and incorporate it into their second language. It seemed like for the longest Maddie had this problem, mixing up her languages especially when she talked. While she...

...The advantages and disadvantages of being young in 2010 Many of us think that our parents are too controlling, or think they are not. However we have all had our arguments at least once about wanting to be independent and go out on your own, wanting to do things by yourself, or about being told what to do. However these things may all have different reasons why! Grandparents and parents often say that life today is not as good as when they were young. However there are disadvantages and advantages of being young in 2010. The advantages are that there are more opportunities and clubs to keep children and teenagers busy. Many places have been set up for teenagers so they can have fun and keep busy for example skate parks. There is advanced technology now which means we can get information easily, keep in contact with people and just use computers, phones, iPods etc. for fun. The disadvantages are that there is more crime, however it may be because we hear about it more. This is because there has nearly always been crime. By hearing about it more it raises awareness and parents may be more controlling to try and keep their children safe. This might be why they won’t let you go out by yourself, or stay out too long! Also the advanced technology we have now can also be bad! Sometimes you do not know who you talk to on chat rooms and they could be anyone. Chat rooms are now a trend for teenagers, and so are other social networking sites. However do they really know who they talk...

...Pros and cons of being a young parent and waiting till later to have children Nowadays, the youths focus on the development of the career; therefore, people who marry at a mature age and later to have children is a common phenomenon. However, many teens choose to become a young parent because they believe babies are the most important thing in their world. In fact, becoming a young parent and waiting till later to have children both have advantages and disadvantages for parents and children. Advantages and disadvantages for parents To begin with, being a young parent has disadvantages on developing the career or finishing school. The act of having a child at an early age itself decreases the mother’s future chances of finishing school and getting married, and increases the number of children she is likely to have (Hotz, Mcelroy,& Sanders,1997; as cited in Are Children of Young Mothers Disadvantaged Because of Their Mother’s Age or Family Background,2003). According to Stobbe,“if a youth becomes a young mother, she has no time to study because she has to take care of her baby at least a year. Therefore, the young mother can’t graduate, then it is difficult to get a good job for the young mother. Furthermore, becoming young parents are stressful due to the economy burden. Teen motherhood is commonly believed to cause long-term socioeconomic and public health disadvantages, such as lower birth weights, education, work, experience and wages, more persistent poverty and...

...If so: mixed schools provide diversity, and a chance to mingle with both genders equally. It helps with maturity and more widespread friendships. Disadvantages, it's been said that grades and overall study quality declines in mixed schools. It's a pretty equal tradeoff. They learn when they are young to treat each other with respect and consideration. If not exposed to this environment there are some disadvantages. A male only school has a Homosexuality rate of 63% more than a public school open to all genders with a 14% rating. The Benefits of Mixed Schools Some evidence has suggested that boys in mixed schools performed better academically, as they are encouraged not to 'mess around' by their more responsible female classmates - but obviously this is a generalisation and might prove different in specific schools and even in particular classrooms. Some proponents of mixed schools claim these schools have a better atmosphere, since they are neither too 'bitchy', as can occur when a group of girls are working and studying together, not too aggressive, which can occur when boys are exclusively working and studying together. 1 There are less ‘sink’ groups in schools. 2 Different teaching styles are opened up, moving away from didactic methods. 3 There is potentially less negative labelling of students. 4 Teachers have contact with a wide range of students. 5 This form of teaching makes for diagnostic teaching. 6 Troublesome students are ‘diluted’ through the...

...is being pregnant unprepared. Are you afraid of being called – teenage mother/father? One might ponder that this exposition will exclude men. No. they bring ladies in this scene. The exposition attempts to conduct the teenagers to be reminded of what it is like to live in a more aware, conscious, and fulfilling way. It also serves as one of the guide to more harmonious relationships between young couples and families. Gilapay (2007) states, teens want to act like adults, but the child in them remains. Teen years are a prime time for identity crisis and identity formation. It is also, when pregnancies come into play. According to the World Health Organization, around 21 percent of Filipino Women become pregnant before they turn 19. Cerecero (2009) says, teen pregnancy is an issue that has affected not only our school, but schools across the nation. Although the teen birth rate is slowly falling there still remains an estimated one million teen pregnancies nationwide. Babies born to teenage mothers are more likely to have health problems, suffer from social problems, and do poorly in school. The Problem The main purpose of this study is to explicate teenage pregnancy among women (and men impregnating women) and its effects to the life of teenagers, as a means toward a better understanding of their situation thus giving aid to their acceptance to the society. Specifically, this exposition seeks to answer these questions: 1. What is teenage pregnancy? 2. What are...

...the city to work because these young women want to earn some income, try to fight against their typical destiny ( get marry and be a house wife in their young age) , find an opportunity for self development and to experience the metropolitan life. However, these young women have underestimated the hardships of living in the city such as Beijing. There are many disadvantages according to the article that these young women encountered while migrated to Beijing such as labor exploitation from a local employer( pay less than the standard wage, work in a sweat shop and long hour), gender discrimination, and sexual violence. Rural women are the target of the labor exploitation because they are lack of capital resources to be independent on their own, lack of education, and the traditional patriarchal society. Some other major disadvantages that these rural women are facing are the risk of losing their jobs anytime after they pass twenty five year old and being deported by local authority( due to the big volume of migrant workers in the city and a the unwillingness of a local owner to employ an employer who passes twenty five). There is no doubt that rural Chinese Women have more freedom in making their own decisions compared to the past, but the question is at what cost does this come? It is hard to believe that women nowadays have given the full legal protections but still have to pay a high price to prove their abilities. Their contributions are being unrecognized by the society...
