It's true that there are so many problems facing young people today. When I go out on weekend there is a lot of pressure to drink and smoke. My friends and I don't do anything exciting, but we usually have fun just being around each other. We usually talk about humorous things. On the other hand, we also talk about serious things. My friends and I try to help each other, if we can. Because a lot of the time, being a teenager isn't fun. It's a chore (duty).
