This week my students have had their listening and written tests on the topic: young people in a global era.
Next week they are going to present their group works. Each group is going to talk about one of the following topics.
• Peer pressure
• Relationships
• Alcohol
• Drugs
• Smoking
• Eating disorders
• Bullying
• School pressure
• Generation Gap
• Teen pregnancy
• Depression
My students are expected to talk about causes, consequences and possible solutions to these problems. The aim of this group work is to make them think about these issues and find possible ways of handling with them.
I have also been searching about these issues and I have recently discovered the site, Radical Parenting, which I find much useful because teens write about their own issues.
An article which deals with the question whether peer pressure is always the reason for starting an addiction/bad behaviour:

An article about teen pregancy:

It's all for now. I have much work. I have to correct my students' tests.

Thanks for contacting "Messengers in Denim".
Thanks too, for all you do for teens. I can see by reading your posts that you must be an incredible teacher! Sorry I could not have been in your class! (I am on the wrong continent and about half a century too old!)
I love your quote from Clay about teaching a lesson for a day! I will luse it on my site. Please tell me who Clay is. I hope he is one of your students. Stay in touch, and if you would like some of your students to share thoughts with an old pediatrician, have them contact me on the Messengers Blog, or my e-mail below. Thanks, Par
