The way of life of a modern Russian teenager

What is health?

Health is a combination of physical, social and psycho-emotional well-being. When all spheres of life are in balance, there is nothing to worry about. Only here for the formation of health years are needed, it is necessary to do this from the earliest years and continue all life. For those people who are used to living a healthy lifestyle, the observance of all rules becomes natural and unchanged. However, in our time, the way of life of modern youth, and in particular the way of life of a modern teenager, is simply amazing by its inconsistency and unbridledness.

To date, the question of a healthy lifestyle in principle is not interested in the younger generation. Smoking, alcohol, drugs and Internet addiction have overwhelmed a large part of Russian adolescents. Every year, there is an increasing trend towards a decrease in the percentage of healthy children and an increase in the number of disabled and disabled people. The number of young people who are unfit for service in the army is increasing due to the state of health, the general incidence of adolescents with such diseases as bronchial asthma, gastritis, etc. is increasing. In addition, young adolescents often enter the hospital in a state of alcohol or drug poisoning.

Smoking has become a real scourge of modern youth, smoking begins in Russia from 10-11 years, and by the end of high school, 40% of students already have dependence. And in recent years, there has been a trend towards an increase in the number of adolescent girls who smoke. The way of life of a modern Russian teenager makes us think about the problems of the younger generation, because if we do not think about it now, who then can fix the current situation, which every year only worsens.

Today, the lifestyle of a modern Russian teenager does not exclude, unfortunately, alcohol dependence. By the age of 14-16 years, 20% of adolescents drink regularly at least twice a week. More often, dependence begins to develop with the regular use of beer. Many teenagers do not even consider beer as an alcoholic beverage, especially since it is sold everywhere and without age restriction. In addition, advertising and distribution of alcohol and tobacco slogans on television, the media, in stores, etc. Gives rise to adolescents regard their bad habits as a manifestation of "adulthood."

In recent years, drugs have spread rapidly among young people. According to statistics in Russia, 0.1-0.2% of adolescents who regularly use drugs are registered.

To date, computer addiction is no less dangerous . Computer games and the Internet have become so firmly entrenched in the way of life of the modern Russian teenager that in the majority they completely crossed out physical development, live communication with peers and the ability to build normal relationships with others.

All of the above, unfortunately, today to some extent enters into the lifestyle of a modern Russian teenager, and worsens the forecasts for the development of an intellectually developed, socially-adapted younger generation.

However, not everything is so bad, there is also a downside to the coin. Many young people seek education, develop mentally and physically, they want guaranteed state support in terms of employment and decent wages. And in this we need to help and support our younger generation, both privately and at the state level. It is necessary to form an adolescent's healthy lifestyle from an early age in order to preserve the health of the future generation.
