YOUTH OF TODAY

First of all, to my mind it is not necessary to drink or to smoke when we are with our friends and we want to have a good time. If you are in a good circle of friends, you can enjoy and laugh and even you do not remember that alcohol or tobacco exist.

On the one hand, as far as I am concerned, modern teenagers like drinking and smoking a lot to be happy. It is true that alcohol changes the personality of the people: it makes disappear the shame and teenagers feel better by drinking it. In my opinion, alcohol and tobacco can cause terrible fights because drunken people do not realise what they do and often they become aggressive.

On the other hand, there are many options to have a good time with your friends. For example, I like practicing sport with my friends. This is a good way to share our hobbies by practicing our favourite sports. I often go for a run with my friends and we always laugh and have a great time together. We also go cycling around the city and even we go out by roller-skates.

In addition, if you go to a party and a friend gets drunk, we have the responsibility and we should keep him from drinking more. In that way we cannot enjoy ourselves because we have to help out our friend. It is true that sometimes we feel strongly influenced by some friends that like drinking a lot. Then we get down drinking and we finish worse than we wanted.

To sum up, in my opinion we do not need to drink or to smoke because there are many ways to have a good time with our friends. I prefer doing sport, going out to eat or to have dinner, going to the cinema, going shopping... Moreover, when we go to a party we can have fun by dancing or singing without thinking in drinking or smoking.
