Teenagers

Teenagers Today!
The teenager is an odd human being. A lot of people say and think that teenagers are disgusting, stupid and rude. The public say that the behavior of the teenagers is ruining society but adults need to remember that they were teenagers before. The truth is that teenagers are misunderstood by adults. Most of the adults don’t understand us.

Some teenagers are very well-behaved. If you lived in an area with a lot of bad history you may automatically think that they are bad. Bad teenagers are influenced by other people’s actions around them. When teenagers need help no one gives them help and their behavior stays the same or gets worse. On public transport people avoid us and want to stay away as far as possible, or in shops many of the staff keep an eye on us because they think that we are going to steal something, but the staff need to keep their eye on everyone not just teenagers. Anyone could steal something. On public streets, if you see a bunch of teenagers, young children or older people may think that they are bad news and You would want to avoid them by walking away or crossing the road.

People say and think that teenagers are disrespectful. These are some of the reasons why people may think so, for instances, in school some teenagers fall asleep in lessons, mess about and being rude to teachers. They have no energy to get up in the morning and some of them are so lazy that they don’t eat breakfast; this makes them lazy in school. Most teenagers are lazy because of puberty and when that happens they get very tired and start to feel stressed out. Then after school they have a lot of energy to play on their game console or watch stuff on the computer, go to sleep very late and don’t get enough sleep. So maybe people need to think that teenagers have different patterns to children and adults. Today too many teenagers are failing their exams and getting into trouble with the police because in my opinion some teenagers may behavior like this because of the area they live in or the way they are brought up by their parents.

Some teenagers are very well-behaved. This is very likely if they are brought up by good, respectable parents or in a very good areas with little crime. Well behaved teenager usually go far in life. They are rarely rude to teachers and rarely get in trouble with the police. They can be very active when they are not on their game console by socializing and going out with friends and maybe playing sports. In school most of them focus and behave in lessons. These are good things but the public don’t report it on the news.

The public also don’t like how teenagers dress up on a daily basics when they have a free day. When they go out some wear a bag, tracksuits bottom, tracksuits top and expensive footwear, these are the kind of clothes teenager wear so they can look good. Some people might be convinced that they are carrying a weapon, think that they are trouble and in gangs if they live in a bad area with a lot of history of crime.

I hope that people will change their opinions from bad to good about teenagers. I hope the media would be more positive about teenagers and start posting good positive stuff. I hope that teenagers are fitted into the world’s society with everyone else and I think that adults should not forget that they where teenagers and should not forget how they behaved.

    Myles,

    You make some good points in your essay that attempt to explain why teenagers are misunderstood. I’m pleased that you have used paragraphs to develop your argument, but you must check your spelling if this is to achieve the Expository writing badge.

    Targets
    1) Always re-read and edit sentence structures – is your meaning clear? Have you used too many words? Have you used the correct words?
    2) Always re-read and edit spelling – focus on homophones and word endings.
    3) Avoid staring sentences with conjunctions (also, because, and, but)
    4) How will you give your piece a clear conclusion? You are about 100 words away from your minimum word limit.

    You have made some good points about why teenagers are misunderstood by the public. Remember that you are a teenager so you could use this to your advantage by changing your pronouns. Instead of referring to teenagers you could identify as one by simply saying “we” “us” “our.”

    Also, you need to re-read through your essay and check you spelling punctuation and grammar.

    To achieve perfect paragraph you need to include three unique words spelled correctly; correct use of sophisticated punctuation (try and include some semi-colons) and include a ange of sentence structures (simple, compound and complex).

    Hello Myles,

    You still have 200 words to go before you can achieve the badge.

    Once this is done, you must thoroughly read your work and edit it so that your meaning is clear. Pay attention to spellings and where you use commas.

    See me if you need some help,

    Mr North

    Look at your third paragraph – how can you re-arrange your structure to make your meaning clearer?

    You must still proof-read your work and be sure you have used basic elements of punctuation.

    When you have done these things – check your work to see if you think you have achieved the bade.
