As teenagers in all countries we enjoy going out, walking with our friends in the park or spending time in musical clubs. We want to be independent from our parents and other adults. We understand that learning is necessary for our life, but it's so boring. Of course, we go to school and try to be obedient, but not always. We want to get dressed up and have a little bit of pocket money. In our country, teenagers do not have the oppotunity to dress as they like, because the parents do not always understand the modern fashion. Most of us often buy clothes at the markets or in the cheap stores and spend only the money that we are given by our parents. And separate conversation is about the school uniform, which we have to wear almost all the time. As for me I am totally against school uniform. I want to look nice and modern, I don't want to merge with a total mass of similar teenagers. There is nothing special if teenagers dress up nice and trendy. Stupidity and meanness you can create even dressed in a perfect school uniform. And you can be honest and decent in a beautiful and favorite clothes. This is my opinion. Как и подростки во всех странах мы любим проводить время вне дома, прогуливаясь с друзьями в парке или проводя время в музыкальных клубах. Нам хочется быть независимыми от родителей и других взрослых людей. Мы понимаем, что учиться необходимо, но это так скучно. Конечно, мы ходим в школу и стараемся быть послушными, но не всегда. Нам очень хочется красиво одеваться и иметь побольше карманных денег. В нашей стране подростки не имеют возможности одеваться так, как они хотят, потому что родители не всегда понимают современную моду. Чаще всего мы одеваемся на рынках или в недорогих магазинах и тратим только те деньги, которые нам дают родители. И отдельный разговор о школьной форме, которую нам приходится носить почти все время. Что касается меня я категорически против школьной формы. Мне хочется выглядеть красиво и современно, а не сливаться с общей массой одинаковых тинейжеров. Нет ничего особенного в том, если подростки одеваются красиво и модно. Глупости и подлости можно творить и в идеальной школьной форме. Можно быть честным и порядочным в красивой и любимой одежде. Это мое мнение.
