Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time.This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school.1.

When a teen falls asleep in class,two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect for the teacher.He/She may also receive a consequence from the school,depending on the classroom discipline policy.2.

To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class,try these three tips:

*Set a time for "lights out" on school nights.This is never be any later than 10 p.m. and preferably 9 p.m.3. Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen.

*Help your teen develop a night-time routine that involves activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 4.Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.

*5.This will reinforce(增强)what it feels like to be rested and capable of accomplishing what he/she wants.

A.Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well.

B.What's worse,they may even fall asleep in class.

C.All of these things affect your teen's academic success and can be avoided.

D."Lights out" means the computer,television,lights and cell phone should be off.

E.While your teen keeps his/her goals in line with your expectations,he/she may have his/her own goals.

F.Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning.

G.Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night's rest.

Well, more and more companies are beginning to create products and services for teenagers. The Disney Company sells the Hannah Montans television show, music, film and merchandise(商品) to teenagers and their parents. You can get everything from branded lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. The High School Musical series of films is also intended for a teenage audience. So, it’s all about sales, which tells us teenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than they’ve ever had before.

UK teenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes and fashion accessories(附加物). That’s changed. Now, they are much more fashion conscious and concerned about their image. In a world of television programmes that promise overnight success and fame at a young age (for example, the shows Britain’s Got Talent and American Idol), some people think it’s extremely important to look fashionable.

So what does teenage fashion look like? Well, it’s quite horrible really, but then I’m a bit too old to appreciate it, I suppose. It’s lots of brightly coloured materials, particularly pink, and usually plain, not patterned. There are plenty of bows, necklaces and bracelets(手镯), too. It’s all very cute(可爱的), if that’s your taste.

Surely none of the above is a good thing, is it? Can it really be healthy for us to encourage kids to be like adults at such a young age? Are we stealing childhoods in return for a bit of profit? Well, the UK government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from explicitly(明确地) marketing their products and services at children.

Even the rest of UK society is concerned. Now that people are aware of the problem, there is a popular backlash(强烈反应) against the exploitation(利用) of children by commercial marketing.
