TEENAGERS TODAY
The earthquake that hits Japan reminds me how fast things can change. The situation that Japan had to face now is just the same as Malaysia handling teenager’s issue. The Japan government has to spend around 48 billion to build up all the buildings that collapse due to the earthquake. At the same time, Malaysian government has to spend millions of money for teenagers recovery planned. Malaysian teenagers change their lifestyle as the world becoming more modern. Teenagers in 1940s are really different compare to teenagers in 21st century. They have attitude that as good as angel. They thought that education is everything. They do not have a lot of discipline issue since they want to study very hard to improve their family economy status. This situation is really different from teenagers today that have a lot of discipline issue. They think that study is not important and willing to do anything to satisfy their desire.
Teenagers act as someone that does not have any responsibility towards their family, country and the most important, their self. They become immoral teenagers that smear oneself with sins. Main problems like smoking, gangsterism and illegal racing are affecting the country’s development. Smoking is a bad habit that is conquered by teenagers especially boys. Nowadays, this problem has spread like a silent killer to everyone including girls. In this era of globalization, youth resort to smoking as an escapism.The main causes of this problem are depression with their studies as well as with the family. They are stressed by the workload at school and high expectations by parents at home. They do not know how to cope with stress thus resort to the ‘dreamland’ of smoking. These youth are deprived of parental love as parents are too occupied with their jobs. They do not have enough time to spend with their children. Teenagers feel neglected and ignored.
Besides smoking, drugs and teenagers drug use is the increasing problem among

    delivered by Barbara Streibl and Fatih Oezcan, Ban All Nukes generation Ambassador Cabactulan, distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen Today at this historic NPT conference more youth are present than ever before. We came from all over the world to this year's Review Conference with a great notion of hope. This is a message we want to spread and gain momentum. We believe it is crucial that this positive and enthusiastic atmosphere will be maintained and transformed into a positive outcome. At this Conference we discuss disarmament, defence, deterrence, non-proliferation, sovereignty, security doctrines, technical issues and more. The main reason we pursue these negotiations is our common objective of security. At the heart of this security, which our governments work so hard to protect, is something even more important: life. We must ask ourselves: How can we best preserve and protect all life on this planet? What do we need to ensure the true fulfilment of the human rights our governments have committed themselves to? We would like to give you an impression of what we are talking about when we talk about life. Life is what matters. Our families and friends should be our motivation to abolish a weapon that could destroy their lives. We asked young people from around the world what they love in their lives. Today we have the pleasure to present you some of their answers.

    We are used to thinking of traditions as something old and stable, whereas the creative forces of people are directed towards the making of “new” forms of art and music. Nevertheless in our view, and according to our experience, new forms should not be sought in a cultural vacuum, without any connection to the past experiences of people and societies. Similarly, the “old” musics should not be approached with the attitude of preserving or mimicking other people’s practices. We believe that the past is important because in the great musics that were created we can sense a reBlection of the creators’ spiritual insights and wider understandings of the nature of man and his place in the world. The passing on of this intuitive knowledge, through the practice of music, the sharing of experiences, the process of studying and teaching not as something that happens only within the school walls, but as part of everyday life, is what animates Neda not only to create, but also to teach their music and perform it in live concerts.…

    Teenagers Problems

    One of the worst teenage problems is schooling. Sometimes you feel bad because of teachers’ or classmates’ attitude to you. You are tired of studying, that’s why you don’t have energy and time for doing other things. Also I’d like to say that a lot of teens like to look older, that’s why they obtain bad habits like smoking, drinking, taking drugs, etc. But a teen can have bad habit because of problems in private life. Absence of the second half, loneliness, lack of pocket money or parents’ misunderstanding can inspire teen, that his best friend is a bottle or a cigarette. None should be angry because of teen’s feelings, because the boy or the girl often doesn’t control his or her feelings. Streets and street bands can make a teen ruder and crueler, that’s why parents shouldn’t allow their children to have such interests. I know a lot of boys and girls, who think that cleaning their room is the most important problem of humanity. They think it’s boring and useless, because the room will become dirty 5 minutes later. I think, teens who have mania to comps are very boring and uninteresting. You can’t speak with them about something beside of «Sims» or «GTA». It’s a real problem, to my mind. Every teenager has a favorite singer, writer or sportsman. But no one should become a fan, because we can kill our individuality and become clones. Sometimes a quarrel between teens can lead to serious law’s violations. It’s very dangerous! Also bad relationships between members of the family make the teen very emotional. The teen doesn’t get3 along with parents and relatives. Parents press on their child, they think he is iron and he doesn’t feel soul ache. Parents want us to study very well; they don’t understand that we do everything as good as we can. They don’t respect our interests…
