3 Issues

Problem: Technology

The continuos development of technology is a problem as much as it is a benefit. Our lives are much easier than our parents' or grandparents' lives were at our age; this might not sound like a downside but from a certain point of view, we can realize that at our age they have had much more experiences and they had put a lot of hard work in their activities. They learned how to do things the hard way and with effort; we on the other side, have access to the solution of almost any problem with a few clicks.

Another problem is that technology is taking over social interaction. It is something that affects even our parents. Sometimes when people get together, they are on their phones doing anythings, interacting more online than they do offline.

Of course technology brings a lot of benefits, facilities, and opportunities to us, but there are also some downsides as the ones I described.

I can't find any definite solution to this problem, the only thing we can do is avoid paying more attention to our technology.

Problem: Peer pressure

This is a big issue for some teens, not for me though. Almost all teens act not for themselves, but in order to be accepted into a social group, so they can fit in in society. It's a problem because it builds "default" personalities in each social group, personalities molded by the dominant people who are the example of those who want to fit in and be socially accepted.

My solution would be to not care about anyone else but yourself, there will always be someone who will be similar to you and won't make you change to fit in.

Problem: Global Warming

It is a problem that has been developing itself for a hundred years, more or less. We, as teens, are not guilty of what has become of our world today, but we are living the consequences. And those consequences will be worse for our children and grandchildren.

A solution is for us to take action and try to fix what was destroyed by our elders, we must make a clean world for ourselves and those who have not yet arrived.
