An opinion essay: Teenagers in your country

Write an essay about the main problems teenagers have in your country. Describe them, and explain their causes and suggest possible solutions.

Undoubtedly, adolescence is one of the main periods of human's life, when forming an essential person's characteristics. In the Russian Federation, there are many typical problems like in other developing countries, which have an enormous impact on susceptible teenagers such as smoking, alcohol drinking, and drug addiction.

It is believed that criminality and unemployment rate are two essential factors, which influence the education of the younger generation. Having these harmful effects, the youth have become addicted to drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. As a result, the Russian population has been decreasing since 1990 and society has been deteriorating culturally because of these negative factors.

One of the solutions to prevent and change that negative trend could be a family and a school, where an adolescent usually studies to get necessary knowledge and competitive education for their future life. Parents should find a balance of fostering their children by controlling and encouraging them to achieve their goals. Secondly, the Russian government should consider building a healthy nation by financing sports facilities. Russian politics could acquire some experience from European countries about sport development. The creation of high paying jobs in labor markets and the economic development of Russia could be additional methods to overcome these tremendous problems in our society, especially among young people.

In conclusion, I would like to say that one of the best solutions to current teenage problems in Russia could be found in cultivating relationships between a parent and a child based on openness and honesty to fostering a person’s abilities to be useful for a family and society. Besides, the government should make an appropriate environment for studying and living of young people.
