Life used to be fun for teenagers. They used to have money to spend, and free time to spend. They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars and discos. But for many young people, life is harder now. There is not so much money around. Things are more expensive, and it is hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say that students work harder than they used to.and more interested in passing exams. They know that good exam results may get them better jobs.
Most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago.They want to be able to get homes of their own one day.
For some, the answer to the unemployed is to leave home and look for work in one of the Britain's big cities. Every day hundreds of young people arrive in London from other parts of Britain, looking for jobs.Others don't find it, and go home again.
When you read the newspapers and watch the news on televisions, it's easy to get the idea that British young people lose their jobs and are angry or in trouble. But that's not true.
