Teenagers are just misunderstood. This essay is going to tell you that actually we are very active.

A lot of us are interested in exercise and the majority of us take part in it. So it is unfair to label us as lazy when we are actually sporty. Many teenagers are in teams, but even if they are not in a team many teenagers still do sports. Whether it’s joining clubs after school or just on the weekend for fun.

We are still growing up, so we are not adults yet. So we have a lot of good potential because we still have a lot ahead of us, which means that when we are adults we could be a really nice person because we would have grown up.

We will have mood swings which means we won’t be happy all the time. We can’t control how we feel quite a lot of the time because of hormones.

We have odd sleep patterns which sometimes causes us to be in a bad mood. We have a lot of pressure on us because when you are a teenager you have high expectations from teachers, parents and peers. We can be stressed out quite a lot of time because a lot of things are troubling us; like high expectations, tests, homework  and many other things. When you were a teenager what were you like? When everybody gives you high expectations and it’s hard to fulfill them. We need more sleep than adults and babies but we can’t because our sleeping patterns are messed up. That is why we are always so tired. How would you like the system to work for teenagers?

I think schools should acknowledge this and make school opening times a bit later so that we can come into school more awake and ready for school, which means that students will be able to do more work and will be able to concentrate and behave well.

Schools need to know how we think things would work better for us, because if the system is better our education will be better because we will be getting more done in class and can contribute in class better. If the schools listen to us then it will benefit our education.

The point of school is so we can get an education, we can get a good job, have a good future and also there is a social aspect to school as well.

People think that we are lazy  but I think that we are not. As teenager my self I think we are just tired rather than lazy because I know being a teenager is quite tiring. When you were a teenager was life tiring for you?

As I said, we have weird sleeping patterns, this is the reason for teenagers being tired and this has been scientifically proven.

All adults have been teenagers and they need to remember what it was like from a teenagers point of view. So I think we should have a say in today’s society and then people would see a different point of view of teenagers.

We have a lot of stress, when we use our phone or play Xbox our parents think we are wasting our lives and they always say “you will not have a bright future wasting your life on games consoles.” We are relaxing! We have actually been studying in school for hours.

If the education system works to fit us then they can learn more and behave better.

If people ignored the stereotypes and allowed the system work for us then people will realise that we aren’t horrible or lazy; we are just misunderstood. We are decent people like everyone else.

Teenagers aren’t horrible.

1. One reason why teenagers aren’t horrible is that they can’t control there hormones and their melatonin.

2. Teenagers have weird sleeping patterns and they need more sleep.

3.

The writer uses words and phrases that associate young people with negative things e.g. Violence and vandalism.

There is a metaphor that says ” Beirut of the North” and Beirut is associated with violence and war which is suggesting that what they are saying is that young people are making it that kind of environment.

The writer says flood when talking about complaints to the police. Flood has connotation of everything happening once. So what the writer is saying is that all of these incidents and all of the complaints happened at once.

The writer says yobs when he talks about young people. So yobs has connotation of a negative point of view on teenagers.

The teenagers in the pictures look menacing. They are using words like violent, yobs and mob.

I am the head master of LNS where your hopes won’t collapse, but the building will. I am the best headmaster in London, in my opinion. I am very proud of this school because we get good reports from offsted, that’s mainly  because the students only behave well when offsted are here.

The students of LNS enjoy their time here, that’s probably because they can see their friends not because the lessons are good. Also the hygiene standards are high, if you compare it to a bin.

The classes get on with their work very well, when the majority of the class has been removed. The classrooms are presented very well, if you think that a rubbish dump is presented well. After a series of detentions, the students do their homework.

Our equipment is top of the range, we get it from poundland . Students get ill quite a lot, the reason is because when they don’t feel well teachers just say you will be fine. If you compare our progress to a nursery, it’s good.

The lessons are fun, when we watch a movie.

School is great, when it’s closed.
