Teenagers nowadays represent the future. Well, it doesn't look so good, if we believe in this saying. The generations that live in our days, are without control, without a goal in life, they just want to party, have fun and have sex. Young girls remain pregnant at early ages, boys get high on different substances and drink very much, money is everything and parents seem to not exist. Some believe that education is the key, and that`s why teenagers take the wrong road, others believe in the influence the people they hang out with has on their decisions.

Teenagers are difficult to talk to, they don`t accept any advice , unless is from their friends and they don`t listen. Every child makes mistakes, and especially the teenage years are the worst ones, if we are looking from the parents point of view. Teenage years are the years where the child forms a character, takes on a road in life, takes some decisions. If those decisions are wrong, then it can be quite hard to get back on the track.

There are a few things specialized people can talk about with youths. For example advising them in what means sex life. Not through a lot of talking but by showing actual cases of sexual transmitting diseases, real happenings, real examples. On the other hand, we all learn from our mistakes, and so, if we , ourselves can`t take some advices and follow them., why should we expect teenagers to do so. It`s a known fact that the more you set some restrictions, the more they are going to break them. We have all been teenagers and we know how is it to be a rebel but, it seems as if what happens today is way out of control.

The things we have to talk about with youth, are sex, schools, knowledge, future etc. Teenagers need to be aware that these are the years where they form a personality, where they can choose a bright future. School is important, not only because parents say so, but because is a very important part of what they are going to become. No school means no future. Education is essential. Nowadays , just having a degree makes you more fit to work somewhere decent. Teenagers need to figure out on their own what they are going to do. Being lectured all the time, won`t change their mind and keeping them away from their friends, will only make things worst.

As a conclusion, young people take wrong decisions, and it`s their parents obligation to watch and protect them, but in most of the cases, time solves everything. Some would say that punishing them and having strict rules will make things better, but a little freedom didn't hurt nobody. Keeping the child on short leash, will eventually have bad repercussions. People have different ideas and conceptions, so it`s normal to see different opinions and different ways to control your child. Each one is worth being appreciated, because it`s very hard to raise a child.
