Answer:
The Pressures on Today's Teenagers
Today's teenagers are unruly and lack concentration. Their lack of
concentration is a result of the plethora of distractions in society.
Teenagers should be taught discipline and mobile phones, computer
games etc should be banned from the age or 14 to 16. This would enable
all teenagers to fulfil their potential at GCSE level.
In today's society there are many pressures in the lives of teenagers.
The tornado of school crashes through their lives causing destruction
and chaos. This destruction causes so many demands and deadlines, that
teenagers find it hard to cope. From this they turn to easier, less
demanding options. These options come in the form of distractions,
which range from material goods to unruly behaviour. They prefer to
focus on places of relaxation than the turmoil of school. The answer
to this problem in not to push these teenagers to different
distractions, but to pull them back to education. The banning of
commercial distractions would not make a substantial difference. If
anything it would prove to be counter affective, as teenagers would
turn to more extreme distractions from the pressure. We need to help
to level out the lives of teenagers, instead of weighing them down
with a whirlwind of stress and strain.
In the twenty-first century teenagers find it hard to keep their lives
in balance. On one side of the scales is their social lives, and on
the other, the unappealing load from school life. For many this side
of the scales is leaning off balance. In it contains constant floods
of coursework, storms of exam revision, and volcanoes filled with hot

pressure, relieve them from the storm of work, which brews above them,
and relieve them from the frightening prospects of the future. They
may not be confident in this area, but schools do manage to promote
self-confidence and expression of opinion so that if there were a ban,
teenagers would not stand down. Teenagers need to be listened to.
Teenagers need to be consulted. Teenagers need to be helped, and by
doing that we help our selves. Adults, you were once teenagers, and
you made your futures. You need to help teenagers of today to make
theirs. Malcolm S. Forbes (1919-1990) said, "Education is to replace
an empty mind with an open one." We need to replace the mind of
teenagers, not with pressure and hardship, but with an open mind
