Most parents don't know what their teenage children are talking about when they are having a chat with their friends. This is also true when teenagers are using the language of texting to send messages. Words like 18r are easy to understand, but what about "POS"? I asked some parents what it means and only 28% got it right! It means that a parent is near and that they are watching what their child is doing.
Parents worry a lot and like to know what is happening in their children's lives at all times.This means they try to control as much of their children's lives as possible. However, they have no control over the language that their children use, so it is a useful way for children to keep parts of their life secret.
Parents also complain that they never have serious conversations with their teenage children. Teenagers are always busy phoning or texting their friends--even when parents are trying to talk to them. And there are times when teenagers aren't busy, but they just don't feel like having a serious chat with mum or dad!
One way to start real conversations is to make sure that the whole family eats together at mealtimes and that everyone has a chance to talk. Teenagers are trying tot find out who they are. They aren't adults yet, but they are learning how to act like big people.
This means that it is a good idea to speak to teenagers like they are adults and it helps to listen to their ideas and opinions carefully. When parents talk to their teenagers, some good advice is " Don't sound like your own parents!" In addition, parents who try to use the language of teenagers often sound very silly. And that's because most times when an adult tries to use "teen talk", the words are probably already unfashionable.
World Earth Day is a special day to call for people to protect the environment. It is on April22ªᵈ. It began in the US on April 22"d, 1970. It is now celebrated every year by people around the world. Although pollution is still everywhere, we can make a difference. Here is an example. Every day, Judy Smith, a 16-year-old girl, waters and cares for the trees at school. A rainstorm hit the area on March 10th, 2024 and some of trees at school fell down. Judy was in the classroom when the rainstorm came. She could feel the wind shaking the windows and saw the trees falling down. Judy used to sit under the trees and enjoy some relaxing time. She didn't want to lose the trees. As a member of the School Green Team, Judy decided to offer help. She came up with a planting plan and called for her team members to help. Now they often help plant trees and take care of them. The headteacher, Mike Smith, said the school was lucky to have this plan."Some of those trees were as old as the buildings, and it was sad to see them fall,"he said. Judy is proud whenever she helps protect the environment. She hopes that more students can join them. |
