The youth of America.
What about the American dream of getting along in the world? What does it mean to a young man in the U. S. A.? Well, to my mind, most of them are very ambitious and keep their eyes on the stars.
At 18 years of age young people in the U. S. A. become adults, that is, they get most of the rights and duties of adults. But before this happens, however, they are simply teenagers. Many teenagers are making positive, important contributions to their home, school and society. Millions of young people in the United States are getting ready for the future exams or working part-time after school and during weekends. Some are working at hospitals or other places which require part-time workers.
Schools provide American students with much more than academic education. Students learn about the world through various after-school activities. More than 80 percent of all students take part in sports, student newspapers, drama clubs, choral groups and others.
What are the favorite sports of the youth of America? They prefer football, basketball, wrestling, tennis, boxing, hockey and golf. During their free time students spend much time watching TV. They also listen to music.
The average American youth listens to music on the radio about three hours every day. It goes without saying that pop music is the favourite of teenagers. America’s young people are mostly hardworking. Many have after school jobs. Nine out of ten teenagers either have a job or would like to have one. Many young people work part-time on weekends or after school at fast-food restaurants, baby-sit for neighbours, hold delivery jobs or work in stores. Many take part in community service organizations.
Some are active in church and religious-group activities. Others belong to youth groups such as Girl Scouts. Some people think that teenagers of the U. S. A. today are spoiled as compared with those of earlier times. However, most young people in the United States do not have problems with drinking, drug abuse, teen pregnancies or crimes. Drug use has decreased among young people during the last years, though alcohol abuse has increased.
Most American young people look forward to their future with hope and optimism. They pay great attention to education and careers.
