There are many problems among young people. They always say they are growing up. They can do the things they like. They drive cars quickly. They wear strange clothes. They like loud music. Many people think they are not good. But some of their parents don’t think so.
Their parents say, “Our children are very good. They like popular music, and they play it in their own rooms. They help in the house. You know they feel bored sometimes because there’s nothing interesting in the neighbourhood, no clubs and no sports. They don’t have anything to do.”
A teacher says that he thinks most young people are very kind. He thinks that it’s not bad for young people to like loud music because it can give them lots of energy and make them feel excited. Also, a lot of young people work very hard at school, and they can get good jobs later.
Lewis, a fourteen-year-old boy said, “I have much homework to do. I felt tired all day. But loud music can make me happy. It helps me do well in all my lessons.”

There are many things we need to know but we do not learn at school．For example, if we want to use our money wisely（明智的）, we need to shop carefully．We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops．We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands（品牌）． We need to know how to make a choice（选择）when we shop．

Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we want to live useful and happy lives．

Some of these choices are small．For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important．For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day．

We have to realize that the choices we make can influence the rest of our lives．Just as importantly, our choices can also influence other people．The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice influence?
