In the past, teenagers like us had no handphones, no computers, no television. However they enjoyed more than present teenagers. They had more bonding times with their family and friends, more time with nature than present teenagers with michinaries. Teenagers then were fitter in a healthier way than teenagers now. Teenagers then exercised physically to keep themselves fit while teenagers now keep themselves look fit by starving themselves.

What is the cause(s) of the change? (the last sentence)
ReplyDeleteDo you think that the stressful education system is one of the reasons why the present teenagers do not enjoy as much as those in the past? How was the education system like in the past?

Stressful education system might be the problem for some but others might just think that starving is an easier way to loose weight or keep fit than to be physically active. As said people in the past had no electronic gadgets to entertain them, the only source of entertainment is interaction with their friends and family members by just talking or through games. Nowadays teenagers have their own personal gadgets to entertain themselves and they are satisfied with it. Teenagers in the past don't be physically active in order to be fit; they are physically active and therefore they were fit.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the society now is making the teenagers the way they are now? (the way as in trying to be skinnier and just spending all their time studying!) THANKS!
