Concerns

Health of family members

We all belong to families and have relatives. Some adults think that teenagers care only about themselves and not about families. But our survey results show that it is not true.
It is only right that teenagers must be concerned about it. Family is the first society for a child; it is first people who love you without conditions and help you to live. If your family members are well and healthy, your life is fine too.
That is why teenagers should always help with everything possible if family member is not well.

Grades at school

Graphic by Arina (R)

School occupies a big part of teenagers' life. In most cases your future is determined by your success at school (further education).
And school life is determined by grades you have. With higher grades you can enter better further educational institution or they will make it easier or you will have better choice.
It is not easy at all to achieve good grades in all subjects. Curricula can be very difficult and you are demanded much from teachers, much homework is given.

Further education

Now it is difficult to live in modern world without good education. That is why many teenagers want to enter colleges or universities. Unfortunately, it is not always easy thing. In most cases one must pay for education, buy many expensive books of your specialization. It is natural for older students to start worrying about their future education and think of the ways to get it.
Entering to some of popular universities is blocked for most of people, because of incredible high costs and knowledge requirements which one can not meet without studying additionally with private teachers. All this makes some students very frustrated.
It is also difficulty to support yourself while studying at university. Not all parents are able to help and not all students want to continue depending on parents. But it is sometimes a problem to find a job which you can combine with study, because university demands compulsory attendance and job demands compulsory presence.

Future job

Teenagers can not avoid thinking about their future and first of all, about their future job possibilities. Even graduation from university can not be guarantee that you will have a good job and example of older friends or relatives shows us that it is true.
Organization prefer to accept people with experience, how can university graduator have experience of work in his field?
Some jobs can be received mostly with help and under protection of others, like families or friends.
We are also concerned about having interesting job which will help us realize our individuality. But the truth is that usually interesting job does not mean well paid and you will have to make difficult choice.

Economic situation in the country

As we see in survey, economic situation in the country is not popular concern of teenagers.
But this thing is very important to be concerned about. Economic situation determines a lot in life of common people.
If country economy is good, government will highly probable invest more money in education development, help more with educational loans or provide more budget places at universities.
If economy works, you have more chances to get a job.

Relations with friends

Relations with friends is one of the most important things for our age. Communicating with friends takes a big part in our life helps us to understand ourselves better, express our individuality, and feel support and help. The more quality relations you have, the better and richer your life is.

Criminal situation in your city

A criminal situation is getting worse in the whole world as statistics shows us, especially in big cities. It has become dangerous to be out in the evening. You can not feel safe even near your house. Not all teenagers realize it until they have experience with it.
Parents are only right to prohibit children to come home late. The problem is really serious.

Unstable situation in the world

Our world is not stable place to live in, wars and armed conflicts, national or religious intolerance, territorial arguments. All this is concern too. Conflict even in other countries can make influence on your own country political or national situation. Or your country can get involved in armed conflict or your government will decide to send troops to participate in other countries. All this lead to young men lose their life or have injuries.

Terrorism

Terrorism is global problem of modern world and many teenagers are concerned about it too, especially in countries which have this experience. Terrorism is unpredictable and acts can happen in any place, market, stadium, transport and even school.

All teenagers have aims and concerns. We have concerns on many things some can have concerns of money because he maybe heard at home that there isn t enough money and also we have aims that we want to reach. For example that you want to enter to a very good school so you need to get higher grades. All teenagers want to have good things in their lives so we try to reach them, there could be a guy that is a very good football player so its goal or aim is to be professional. We teenagers have concerns of many things, another can be that we don't want our parents to separeted (divorced), also we may be concerned about our father's job, but we dont only have concerns we have also dreams that we want to reach maybe we want to be a football player some day and we want to reach that dream so we fight for it.Allan medellin (M)
