A MADRIGAL
(by W. Shakespeare)

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together, 
Youth is full of pleasure, age Is full of care;
Youth like summer morn; age like winter weather; 
Youth like summer brave –, age like winter bare; 
Youth is full of sport; age's breath Is short; 
Youth Is hot and bold; age is weak and cold; 
Youth is wild and age is tame;
Age, 1 do abhor thee!
Youth, I do adore thee!
Oh, my Love, my Love is young!

Dysfunctional families - неблагополучна сім'я

• Reading

The age between 14 and 17 is considered to be one of the best periods in people’s life. Grown-ups remind it with excitement and tenderness. But most teens wouldn’t agree with this opinion if they were asked because they are overwhelmed with different problems. These problems are quite serious and they can’t be considered trifles.

Teenagers have psychological problems which can be explained by their psychological instability. This is the reason of their strange and sometimes aggressive behavior. Their aggression can be aimed at their friends, teachers, parents and people around them. If these problems aren’t regulated by experienced specialist, psychologist, teachers it can be lead to far more serious problems.

Drinking and taking drugs have become the most actual problems of the modern society. As for drinking, teenagers don’t realize the harm it does to their health. Teenagers are greatly influenced by social problems such as unemployment, dysfunctional families and the stress of getting into new college. They don’t know how to cope with the problems which do not depend on them. They are badly prepared for their solution mentally, spiritually and even physically. If they fail, they can be driven to despair and won’t find the way out if not helped by their families and school.

In fact, teenagers have got a lot of work. They’re busy with their studies, household chores; some of them have a paid job. But there is no time for fun and they want to be entertained at least sometimes. This excessive work leads to an inner conflict which is usually expressed in the form of an open, direct protest against the world of grown-ups. The next step is the conflict with parents which is very difficult to solve. On the other hand, most teens don’t know how to organize their free time for raising their cultural level, enriching their knowledge and improving their physical forms.

Listen to a song “Songs For Teenagers”.

Before-listening

Look on the name of a song. What about this song will be? Do you have any problems? What are they?

Listening

Looking for drugs in all the wrong places*
Wanted to be famous but ended up nameless.
Love is not the answer, I'm in love with this stuff.
I spent every last dime in a stranger's trunk.
It's all right. It's okay. 
I'm all right. I'll be okay.
First time I felt like I was gonna die, 
But I've gotten pretty good at telling myself it's fine.
Anna talks me down and gives me sips of her beer, 
Head pounding reveille, how did I get here?

It's all right. I'll be okay.
Let it go, let it go all the way down 'til there's nowhere left to fall.
It's a shame, all the ways we build ourselves up just to let each other down.
Looking for drugs in all the wrong places, 
felt a change coming but I couldn't face it.
I tried to keep my cool when I finally made it home, 
I had a blood shot excuse for every lie I told.
It's all right. It's okay. I'm all right. I'll be okay.
Let it go, let it go all the way down 'til there's nowhere left to fall.
It's a shame, all the ways we build ourselves up just to let each other down.
Last night is all a blur to me, 
I don't remember anything, 
but I vaguely recall being alone.
After-listening

How do you think is it good to drink alcohol?

It is good to take drugs, isn’t it?

How often do you lie?
