The teenagers today

As one of them I can relate myself to the problems of us teenagers today. Here in the Philippines most follows the trends they seen on the media like the actors or actresses they seen on their television or the genres of music they are listening to, or even the technology affects them. Some foreign studies show that mostly teenagers lose their self-confidence. They prefer to use their cellphones than to talk to someone even in near distance.

Another one is the teenage early pregnancy. Teenagers nowadays is prone in using drugs and prefer to be with their friends rather than their families. Lack of parental guidance is a factor, but then, the parents it's self is also another factor. A good behavior starts at home, the parents are the one who first teaches the child on how the things are going, or on how the things are used to be. But, in some cases parents in home is the problem why their son or daughter become rebellious. Too strict parents choke their childrens. Telling their childrens the things they want, that is not suitable for their children. Because their parent is not listening to them they run through their friends, seeks advice. Other of their friends take that chance to encourage them to use drugs to "escape the problems". But then too much usu of illegal drugs is another story.
I heard a story about a girl whose accidentally got pregnant because of the choice of wrong friends. Friend told me, the girl is off to meet their friends who really she doesn't know. She attend that eyeball session. She doesn't know that the place she going to attend has a lot of boys. The last thing she remembers is she was covered with the face towel and she was fainted.

For the parents open communication is the best solution to provide the teenagers today needs.
Listen to the thing they like or didn't like.
