- What do you think about love
- What do you think about frienship
- What do you think about sex
- Do you get stressed a lot
- If yes, then about what
- How do you cope with stress
I asked 3 teenagers to answer these question and they came up with:
Derryn:
- Love is cool, but you need to find the right person
- Friendship is awesome, friends are the best thing you can have in your life
- Sex as a teenager is alright, as long as both parties are ready
- Not really, occasionally though
- Work, Family
- Punch stuff/throw stuff against my wall, sleep, music, sports
Nalini:
- I think love is overrated. Very influenced by the media of what the stereotypical perfect couples should look and act like.
- "One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives."
- Too many teenagers have sex without meaning or purpose. once again, overrated.
- Yes
- School
- I dont. I normally just get so stressed that i freak out
Beom su:
- In love you have to protect your partner, believe them and stand by them at all times
- Responsible, trustful,reliable
- Its not right thing to do even both partners agreed, but if they thoughof it seriously and both partners agreed then its alright
- Not really no
- School, homework given at school
- Sleep, hang out with friends
This is an interview with my mom using the same questions:
- Its wonderful and basic human need
- Friendship is sometimes more than love
- Be careful and be educated
- Soemtimes
- Traffic jam
- Relaxation, yoga
Todays teenagers, they have more acces to information as in internet, which we did not have. We had a more calm daily routine.
These were the interview that i did. I have yet not gotten my moms picture, because it will be hard to get due to the fact that we are in mongolia and all my mothers early life pictures are in czech republic.
These are the answers to question 1.d.:
- My mother already answered this question for me. Basically they didnt have much access to information as we do now, so they had to search through books, which made it a lot harder. The advantage of that is that they had a more calm, down to earth daily routine, because they played games outside in the field, whilst we play in our rooms sometimes addicted to the game on our computers.
- This question was again answered before. I believe it is because of the technology imporvement, especially the internet. Without that some people would say they would die. Also cell phones and land lines have changed us a lot.
- I think i am happy to be born in this time, because even though i would have thought that cars going 20km per hour are something really new if i was born during my grandparents time, this is a lot better for me to get a good education with all the resources i need.
- I think our generation is more layed back, relaxed and sometimes a bit too relaxed. The teenage life is expected to be fun like partying every week, not doing work, which isnt a good thing. Technology also defines our generation. Without a computer or a cell phone, some people would just do nothing all day.
I cannot get pictures of any of my interviewees at this moment but i will try to upload them on my blog asap.
