With many adults they don’t understand teenagers in general. **you might want to think of a better first sentence 1205195347** The main thing that adults don’t seem to understand is why teenagers don’t really have time for their family. Even if teenagers are at home they are usually IMing their friends on the computer or text messaging. Obvesilly teenagers are on the compter a lot more than adults so teenagers understand why it is a neccessity. There have been many studies done to prove this as a fact, “a study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project shows that youths ages 12 to 17 are online more than adults and spend more time everyday instant messaging.” To teenagers their main priority is their social life including hanging out with friends, going to concerts, and even going to school functioned events.

P Hanging out with friends is an important part of a teenagers’ social life. When teenagers are with their friends it is a good chance for them to vent, give advice, and talk about recent events. Most teenagers have to deal with drama and pressure everyday whether it is from school or from their friends. Many people choose not to keep this bottled up so that is why they need to vent to their friends. With all the drama and pressure that goes on, a lot of times people need advice from their friends who have gone through the same experience. Many events or situations happen on a day to day basis and friends are the ones who people go to because most of the time they can relate to the situation and get more meaning out of it; compared to when someone tells their parents where they can’t relate to the situation at all because they don’t know the person or because they don’t know all of the events leading up to that certain situation. Hanging out with friends is very important because they can relate to the different situations that they are being told about. P Another thing that teenagers do that most adults don’t understand is going to concerts and the importance of them. Most of the time adults don’t see the importance of going to concerts but to teenagers not only is it a chance to see their favorite band, hang out in a new environment, but also just to go crazy. After listening to their ipod for a long period of time and watching YouTube videos, teenagers seem to have the need to bring their love for the band’s music to a new level. They do this by supporting the band and going to concerts. The concert arena is also a new environment that teenagers can hang out in. It is a very popular place for them to hang out because everyone there has something in common, the interesting in the band. When the band comes out everyone in the audience seems to go crazy because of their love for the band and their music. When the audience goes crazy it is also very good for the band because they feed off the excitement and give an even better performance. Concerts in general are a wonderful place for teenagers to hang out because they can just forget about the usual stress that they have everyday and enjoy themselves. P School functioned events are very important events in a teenager’s social life. Some of those events include dances, sporting events, and fundraisers. **not sure if this is a complete sentence. 1205195347** Dances are very important because they are a good way to socialize, have fun and get to know new people. Depending on the dance it also is a great way to be creative and ask someone that you don’t really know. Sporting events are great to go to because it is a great time to spend with friends, support your school, and show your school spirit. Depending on the fundraiser, it is also an important event in a teenager’s social life. For example, a fundraiser like street scenes is very important because almost everyone in the school goes so people get to hang out with friends that they might not get to hang out with one a regular basis and it is also a good way to support the school and just have fun.
