It is well
known fact that nowadays young people have much more leisure time than their
parents had years ago. But does teenagers use their free time in a good way? I
am really sure that the answer for this question is negative.
I know that our leisure time can be sacrificed
for almost anything. But as an adult I
am able to see that free time can be used in productive or unproductive way. I
truly believe that too much watching television and playing video games is not
a good way of spending time. Much more productive from physical and
psychological point of view is taking part in outdoor activities. After even
one hour out of home you can be really relaxed and de-stressed.
If you are a teenager you spend a lot of time
at school. Your body needs physical activities and if you spend almost all your
spare time before screens there is a high probability that in a near future you
will have serious problems with your backbone and vision. Therefore somewhere
outside of home you can meet interesting people, learn fascinating things etc.
Do you know any advantages of watching television? I do not. And this is the
reason why I do not even have the television at my house. Instead of watching
TV I can learn something or talk to my friends or whatever. Anything is better
than being a couch potato.
To sum
up, teenagers spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games
nowadays. They should be learnt how to use their time in much more productive
way. It is the role of parent to do that.
