Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.
In my opinion, the newspaper article seems a little too forceful. It's true that teenagers need to start being a little responsible at their age but that doesn't mean they can't have fun. Even adults need to have fun and we as teenagers are barely older than kids. We still have a lot to learn in life and they only way to do that is by bending the rules a bit and making a few mistakes here and there. This article makes it seem like everyone has the weight of the world on their shoulders, but that isn't always true. In fact, its probably healthier to live a more care-free lifestyle. Looking at the world in this perspective can lead to stress and that is not beneficial to your health. It's true that we should contribute our energy to helping the world but that doesn't mean that's the only thing we're allowed to do in life. Also filling up all your time doing some of the activities mentioned above can have a negative impact on your relationships with others. Everyone needs time to just relax because having a mind set like this will not make a positive impact on your life.
