ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AMONG TEENAGERS 3/3
Alcohol is the most widely consumed substance among students aged 14-18. Three out of four young people (in that age group) had ever tried it, almost as many had consumed it in the past 12 months and more than 60% in the past 30 days.
The average age of starting consumption is between 13 and 14 years old.
Although consumption has maintained a stable trend in recent years, intensive consumption (drunkenness or alcohol poisoning and binge drinking) has increased in Spain. Almost 2 out of 5 adolescents declare that they have been drunk at some time in the last 30 days, emphasising that the prevalence of binge drinking is slightly higher in girls than in boys.
Four out of six students aged 14-18 years admitted having consumed five or more drinks in an interval of approximately 2 hours (binge drinking) in the last 30 days, this situation being more frequent among boys than girls.

ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AMONG TEENAGERS 2/3
The lack of psychological maturity, typical of adolescence, makes it difficult to manage many sensations and effects produced by alcohol consumption. It reduces the attention, capacity and reaction time and makes it difficult to make decisions.
It produces violent attitudes, aggressions, changes in family relationships, with friends, teachers and classmates, trouble with studies, facilitates risky behaviors such as the use of vehicles, as a driver or passenger, after having drunk alcohol or unsecure sexual relations that cause unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
The motivation that moves teenages and young people to consume alcohol goes from the search of the psychoactive effects of alcohol, to perceive that the consumption of alcohol improves the relations with the others, it serves as evasion, it is "useful" in the celebrations and moments of party, to integrate itself in the group of equals, and to show "that one is an adult".
It has extended the habit of drinking in "binge drinking", intense consumption of alcohol that is realized in a short period of time, basically located at the weekend. Of the 58.5% who had consumed alcoholic in the last 30 days, almost all (99.8%) had drunk at weekends, while only 39.3% had done so on working days. In terms of frequency, 23% of the students had drunk every weekend.

ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AMONG TEENAGERS 1/3
Alcohol consumption usually starts in Spain around the age of 13.
Nowadays, alcohol is very present in the free time and social relationships of teenagers.
75.1% of teenagers aged 14-18 have consumed alcohol at some time in their lives, 6 out of 10 teenagers have been drunk at some time in their lives and 1 out of 3 have done so in the last 30 days.
The number of girls who drink alcohol and get drunk is higher than that of boys but boys drink more quantity of alcohol than girls.
Half of Spanish teenagers do not believe that consuming 4 or 5 drinks (wineglasses) at the weekends can cause health problems.
In Spain, the percentage of young people and teenagers who drink alcohol from a very early age is very high.
Alcohol consumption by adolescents has serious effects on their physical, psychological and social health as their development is not complete and increases the probability of being dependent on alcohol in older age.
The teenagers' brain is especially vulnerable to the effects of alcohol. In recent years, numerous scientific research studies have shown the association between alcohol consumption and brain damage in adolescents.

A GOOD TELEVISION SERIES
The Peaky Blinders is a historical drama in a five-season series format broadcast by the BBC. It was created by Stephen Knight and directed by Otto Bathurst and Tom Harper. Peaky Blinders presents a cast of actors, led by Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the smart and thoughtful family leader; Paul Anderson, in the role of Tommy's older brother, Arthur, very impulsive and violent and Hellen McCrory, plays Polly Grey, the enigmatic and charismatic aunt of the Shelby brothers. It's won a BAFTA TV Craft for the Best Photography and a British Academy Television Craft Award for the Best Director in 2014.
Peaky Blinders was set in Birmingham, after the World Wire I during the years 1919 to 1939 and it was filmed in Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and London.
Peaky Blinders tells the story of the birth of the criminal gangs in a turbulent moment of history and tells us how this situation is experienced in the city of Birmingham, where the protagonists of the series live the "Peaky Blinders", a street gang that sews shaving blades on the picks of their caps and that comes to become the kings of the working class.
I strongly recomend Peaky Blinders. It has drama, action an violence, and stands out for a great mix slow-motion sequences while sound rock and roll at full speed, and a good plot, but above all, amazing sundtrack and photography.

A tale of two cities II
In addition to this new law, Defarge has accused Darnay and at the trial, he shows the letter he found in the Bastille prison, in which Dr. Manette showed that he had been called by the Saint Evremonts to care for a child, whose family had been murdered. When Dr. Manette told the authority, the Saint Evremonts sent him to the Bastille prison. The child whose family had been killed and whom Dr. Manette helped was the sister of Madame Defarge, Monsieur Defarge's wife. With this new evidence, Charles Darnay is sentenced to die at the Guillotine inside 24 hours.
Sidney Carton, because of his great love for Lucie Manette, decides to act. He manages through several tricks to reach the cell where Charles Darnay is. They change their clothes and Sidney Carton knocks him unconscious. He then alerts the guards that lawyer Carton has knocked himself out. The guards take Darnay to Lucia and her father, Dr. Manette.
While the fake Darnay is led to the guillotine booed by the crowd, Lucia discovers that the unconscious person next to her is not Carton, but her husband Charles Darnay.
Would you recommend it? Why?
Yes, I would recommend it totally. If you like Dickens, this book is probably the best. It shows us how protecting a common thing like the ideology of the French Revolution can destroy people if it is not done with a great defense of justice and the individuals’ rights. Hate and revenge can be terrible. Behind the ideas are the people, who need true freedom, justice and brotherhood.
If Charles Dicken were alive today, he would write the same story set in the London of the brexit and the Paris of the yellow-jackets.

A tale of two cities I
I want to talk about the book “A tale of two cities” by Charles Dickens.
What is it about? It is about the life in France and England in the beguin of the French Revolution.
The story begins in 1775, in England, when the English banker Jarvis Lorry meets a young woman called Lucia Manette in Dover to explain that her father, whom she believed to be dead for 18 years, is not dead but was held in the Bastille prison in France by the Evrémont family. Now she is in Paris, in the wine shop of Monsieur Defarge, Dr. Manette's ancient servant, who, together with his wife, wants to destroy the Evrémont family. -We'll see why later. The banker and Lucie Manette are going to France to take him back to England.
Five years later, in 1780, Lucia and her father, Dr. Manette, attended as witnesses the trial of a French nobleman named Charles Darnay, accused of spying. Darnay's lawyer is Sidney Carton, who is in love with Lucie Manette and who looks very much like the defended Charles Darnay. Sidney Carton manages to get Darnay not guilty.
While in France, the situation is getting worse and the Marquis of Saint Evrémont, Charles Darney's uncle, is found murdered.
Some time later Charles Darnay and Lucia Manette fall in love and get married. It is then that Darnay admits to Lucia's father that his name was not really Charles Darnay, but Evrémont, and that he was the last descendant of the aristocratic family that jailed him.
In France, on July 14, 1789, the French Revolution broke out with the capture of the Bastille, a building that is a symbol of royal tyranny. Among the soldiers who take it, Monsieur Defarge goes to the cell where Dr. Manette was jailed and finds in a hidden place a letter that Dr. Manette had left there.
In France, castles have been burned, new laws have emerged and most of the rich and powerful nobles have been killed in a new killing machine called the Guillotine. The king of France was guillotined in 1792. Monsieur Gabelle, ancient administrator of the Marquis de Sant Evrémonde is jailed and calls Charles Darnay for help. Together with his father-in-law they go to his aid and manage to free him because Dr. Manette is considered a hero in France for his years of jailing in the Bastille. However, Charles Darnay is arrested and sentenced to death without his father-in-law, Dr. Manette, being able to do anything to save him. There is a new law that punishes all emigrants if they return to France.

Parents should never try to be friends with their children
I'm going to talk about if parents should try to be friends with their children or not. Many times the relationship between parents and children can be complicated, in a few years we have moved from authoritarian methods to closer and more informal methods but which in my opinion have many risks, so I totally agree that parents should not be friends with their children.
We have examples such as when many parents tell you, "I'm my child's best friend", or when many parents, especially thousands, go on a party with their children or dress in the same style because they think it's cooler. Dangerous behaviour!
I think the main reason I have for saying this is that if a relationship of equals is established, it generates doubts in the children and the father or mother completely loses control over their children. Children - especially in their teens - do not need their parents to be their friends because they have many of them but only two parents and often not even that. It's much better to spend half an hour a day eating or dining together with the family, sharing experiences and talking, than several hours sitting in front of the TV without crossing a word.
Another reason is that children need to look at a figure that gives them security and sets rules. If not, the children's safety begins to waver towards the parents. It is necessary to set rules or norms: time to get home, limit hours with video games, establish household chores, establish sanctions for bad behavior. Children who feel their parents as friends will not have the emotional security necessary to develop a strong personality and stable personality and confidence. Children need to have their friends and know that their parents will always be by their side, but this does not mean that there is not a great deal of communication and extreme confidence.
For example, I have four nephews and five nieces and I can say that those whose parents educated them with more authority are today very steady emotionally and more successful.
Another example is the one we can see or hear on the news of teenagers who are able to record images with their mobile phones when they beat someone up. I'm sure these teenagers are the ones who set the rules at home and not their parents.
