Not only adults, but also teenagers have problems in their life. Here is a survey showing the main problems of teenagers.
They feel stressed because they have too much homework to do both at school and at home. They don't have their own time to do what they are interested in.
Now more and more teenagers are getting shortsighted. They often read in bed or keep reading for a long time without having a rest. Some of them are crazy about playing computer games. Some spend too much time watching TV.
Another serious problem among teenagers is that many of them are becoming fat. They eat too much junk food but they take little exercise.
I think teenagers should think of ways to deal with problems in their life. They should make a plan for studies and hobbies,so that they can relax themselves as much as possible.
