Writing to advise teenagers. Internet, music, fashion, technology, social life.
The Thoughts of What This may not apply to you, but it applies to a majority of the teenage population, and is continuously growing. Internet, music, fashion, technology, social life Cell phones. A mobile electronic device used for telecommunications over a cellular station. These little gadgets can take over a teenager’s life. Having them in your presence during class, always wanting to take them out to look at a blank screen because you did not get a text from your fellow schoolmates, just distracts you from the lesson and can eventually lead you to falling behind in the course. Cell phones ultimately disrupt your work habits. But you don’t just check your cell phones in class. You also check....iPods. A portable media player designed to play music, and comes with many other features to DISTRACT YOU FROM CLASS! With the evolution of the iPod touch, which more people are getting attracted too, as it has various games; this is just another electronic device that can just distract you from class as well as the cell phone. Sex. I’m sorry if this is really vexatious, by the way. As the days pass, the population of teenagers thinking about sex continues. I’m not telling you guys to think about sex, but around us, more people are wondering and getting curious. YOU ARE 16,
PROBABLY YOUNGER. Sex will come when the time is right, and at age 16 is NEVER the right time. A lot of people I know come up and say: “Yo I just banged a fit bitty last night.” I won’t even reply, because I know they’re lying, and I know they are just trying to sound impressive, but they just sound like twits.

PROBABLY YOUNGER. Sex will come when the time is right, and at age 16 is NEVER the right time. A lot of people I know come up and say: “Yo I just banged a fit bitty last night.” I won’t even reply, because I know they’re lying, and I know they are just trying to sound impressive, but they just sound like twits. Some people have sex because of...Drugs. Mainly marijuana, or as many call it, “Weed”. The people who use marijuana say that it does not have an effect on you in the long run. WHAT DRUG DOES NOT AFFECT YOU?! Even Over-The-Counter Drugs affect you. Drugs are just an inconsiderate way to take a break from life. Instead, people can just go for a walk, or watch a movie, or do some exercise to take a break. Once you start, there is a really challenging path back to the old life. Watch those commercials, such as the 1, 2, kicked out of school, or something like that. It basically explains how drugs are just horrid. Some people take drugs because of their level of....Popularity. The quality of being well liked/known. Also known as the reason you can’t trust a majority of the school population. Some people try to become the most popular person in school. People change their clothes, change the music they listen to, just change everything, and sometimes change their body fat. It’s truly horrible how people think they are popular when they look good. I think being popular is being well liked by others. If you are well known but a majority of people don’t necessarily like you, then I don’t believe that is actually being popular. You should make some friends that will be there for you. It is a big misconception that people think popularity is connected to...Dating. A form of a human relationship which will consist of social activities. Dating in high school may be important to others, as people have met their “true love” in high school. But, to find your “one and only” in high school is a rather small percentage than the others who encounter their match later on in their lives. In high school, dating can ruin friendships, and as intensity increases, it can ultimately depress you forever. Dating is something that can wait for the prime years, unless necessary. I have seen couples broken up because their partner changed their...Fashion. The custom style at a given time. This is not as negative as the others, as fashion is truly important, as it distinguishes yourself from another human being, to show who you truly are. HOWEVER, some people use fashion to increase their popularity, and use fashion for the wrong reasons. Fashion should define you, and who you are, and not just copy what every other celebrity is wearing. People misinterpret fashion in many ways, and that makes fashion seem not as important as it could be in high school. Fashion is a great social item, but people are using it to connect too many artists who make...Music. An art of sound that expresses emotion in significant form through rhythm, harmony, and many other components. Music is important, but not in the way teenagers establish it. Some teenagers listen to music, or even create music to express their emotions and feelings throughout the day. The majority, however, listens to plain, loud, ignorant music which talks about no emotion, and how “wasted” they are going to get tonight. The music you listen to in high school is probably not what you will be listening to when you get a job or get married. Think about it. When you get married, will you really “Crank Dat Soulja Boy” or “Teach Me How to Dougie”. My answer is no, and so is every other teens answer hopefully. It all depends on the type of music you listen to nowadays. The last two are not as important as the first 8, but can still be included as something teens think are very important, such as...Body Image. The subjective concept of one's physical appearance based on self-observation and the reactions of. In high school, body image can become a huge drama lead up, but it has simmered down, as people have stopped caring and started to worry more about schoolwork. A few years ago, body image was quite a catastrophe, as everyone was worried about how they looked and if they were anorexic or obese. When you finally enter the real world, body image is one of the last things you will worry about, and should not be overstressing about it, especially in high school. Body image in high school is just something to refer to in the past, when you look at yourself 20 years from then, and say “Wow, look at me now, I look great”. They might look back at past pictures through the.... Internet. A global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite to serve billions of users worldwide. Internet can be debated, as it is very important for school work and to find resources for school projects. But, many teens use the internet to WASTE TIME and claim that they are searching for resources, while they are checking their popularity on facebook by checking how many friends they have compared to others, for example. The internet is very strong, and what is put on the internet can never be taken back. Teenagers still do not understand that. Even celebrities do not understand that. It is a lesson that needs to be embellished into the heads of teens, so that they will not waste time checking their popularity on facebook and start studying and reviewing for school. Schoolwork should always come before social interactions. All definitions were found from thefreedictionary.com
