What makes young people do these things? How do different people,
explain the reasons for teenagers behaviour? Example:
Pi.' The Government surveys show that every fifth teenager who was
arrested for criminal actions, was younger than 14. Some specialists explain
that the changes of our society, the system of our life force young people to
choose their own lifestyle.
P2: Yes, you are right. On the one hand, our society agrees that 15-17
year-old people are old enough to be responsible for what they do and give
them quite a lot of freedom and rights. On the other hand, most adults think
that teenagers are too young to be taken seriously.
P3: I agree with you. This misunderstanding produces many problems.
Actually, a lot of teenagers say that their parents let them do anything they
want and are quite indifferent to their problems. Almost half of teenagers
have an experience with drugs, alcohol and sex under age of 16.
P4: I'd like to add that a lot of teenagers who have drag or alcohol
addiction almost never believe that they are dependent.
