Part I
Today it is fashionable to speak about teenage problems. A few years ago alcohol, fights, killings and other kinds of violence were more problems for adults than for young people.
But now, as official report admits, violence, AIDS, drugs and alcohol are more and more associated with youngest.
What has gone wrong? Some specialists explain that the changes of our society, the system of our life force young people to choose their own lifestyle. On the one hand, our society agrees that 15-17-year old people are old enough to be responsible for what they do and give them quite a lot of freedom and rights. On the other hand, most adults think that teenagers are too young to be taken seriously. This misunderstanding produced many problems. Actually, a lot of teenagers say that their parents let them do anything they want and are quite indifferent to their problems. Many teenagers get upset or depressed when they can't solve their problems. As a result, they begin using alcohol, drugs etc. trying to find the way out.

Part II
Everybody says that youth is the best time of our life, that being young means romance, love, new discoveries, but it is also the most difficult time, because you have to make some very important decisions, which will influence all your future life. Health is the main value in every person’s life. It is important to take good care of it and to avoid bad habits, such as alcohol misuse, drug abuse, smoking, etc.
· One of the most harmful effects on our body is caused by drinking alcohol. Some people think that it is just a pleasant pastime. The truth is that alcohol influences most important parts of our organism including the heart, liver, stomach and other vital organs. Another problem, which is brought by alcohol, is the loss of common sense. Lots of crimes are committed under the influence of alcohol.
· Things are not easy nowadays even for adults, but for teenagers, who have to find their own place in society, it's very difficult. It is necessary not only to adapt to our society, but also to be confident of your position in 5, 10 or 20 years time.
· For our future it is essential to have a good job. And to get a really good job you have to be well educated.
· Emotional problems for young people can be very important, as well. The typical teenager problem is that "nobody understands me". Some parents often continue to treat their children as little ones when they probably consider themselves to be adults.
· There are some global problems, facing young people in probably all the countries. Lets start with smoking. According to our mass media, at the age of 16 almost 72% of boys and 37% of girls in Russia have already tried smoking. By the way, smoking is not a natural demand. Teens start smoking, when they went to imitate adults. Of course, smoking parents practically have no chance to persuade their kids not to try smoking.
· Drugs. Students know the names of drugs well enough, 32% say they have tried drugs one time, mainly because of curiosity, friends influence, the wish to relax or to become "cool".
