In the teen years, young people change in many ways. The body changes, so do thoughts and feelings. These changes become an important part of teenage life.

Teens may often harm their health by developing bad lifestyles. Bad eating habits and less sleep may cause lots of problems. For example, they may often feel tired and have no interest in anything. Some begin to smoke, which is bad for their health.

Teens' feelings usually change, too. They may get angry more easily. Other changes include becoming depressed more easily and feeling nervous. Some teens may start to keep secrets to themselves and refuse to talk with their parents or teachers, and they always show their anger and dislike for another person or group.

During the teen years, people will usually have some problems that may cause other problems. One reason for this may be that teens are never taught about the changes that are taking place and they do not know how to deal with the problems they have.

Teachers and parents should spend some time with young teens and teach them about the changes. Most of the time, it is good for teens to know about them.

"Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn't mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Sometimes wise people make foolish choices. It doesn't mean they're foolish…it means they're improving!"

China Youth says that more and more girl students have entered colleges to study in the recent few years. As we know, once the number of boys was larger than that of girls and boys did much better than girls in our country for a long time. Now, things have changed a lot.

In recent years, the proportion(比例) of girl students is growing fast. In 1998, about 39.75% of the college students were girls. In 2000, it was 41.07% and in 2001, the proportion was 42.14%.

There are several reasons for this.

First, there is little difference between boys and girls in their intelligence(智力). That is to say, girls are almost as clever as boys. And boys have more interests than girls, so they may not always do well in their study. Second, girls are more careful than boys. They work harder at school and they do better in all exams.

The last one is that with the development of society, people pay more and more attention to girls' education.
