YOUTH CULTURE
By: Jonna MaaranenYOUTH CULTURESCHOOLMost of the swedish
teenagers go to school today, but some of them play truant and dont
care about it at all. Its important to go to the school, beacuse
you need to get good grades in order to do get a funny and good
job. Many young people think that school is boring, including me,
sometimes. In the Swedish schools the code of conduct is not that
strict. We can have our own clothes and we can have any hairstyle
we like.
This is my school, the main premice and PE hall in the
backgroundCLOTHES AND FASHION Here the young do not have any
particular style i.e. we dress in what we think is neat.Some like
the punk and rock style and some think it is nice to have just
jeans and T-shirt.Now it is modern to wear transparent blouses,
shirts tucked in pants, feathers in the hair, large rings, knitted
shirts and high heels.I usually have transparent blouses, shirts
tucked in pants, large rings and knitted shirts. Its also morden
with leather pants.
SPARE TIMEMany play computer and TV games for example, World of
Warcraft, Counter strike and RS.There are also many who are doing
sports, football, handball and basket.I play handball and I love
it, its so fun I think!At weekends you can be with your friends and
have sleep-overs! Its very fun! Many boys in our class play
computer games after school, a lot of computer games and they also
lanar, which means they play computer games all night, without any
sleep. A lot of the spare time is to doing homework and studing for
tests which I dont like it that much.
SPARE TIMEWhen I come home I do my homework and after that I do
something I like, for example, I am with my friends or play
handball.Sometimes you go to the town and shop with your friends.
Many youths like the following stores to shop clothes in: Bik Bok,
Gina Tricot and the biggest of all H&M. They are so good when
you need taste for clothes. Sometimes you just simply stay at home
and talk, listen to music and just chill out.
MOBILES, MUSIC & TVToday, almost all youngsters listen to
music, everything from pop to classical music.I dont have any
special music style, but I like Miss Li and the hitlist music.Most
of Swedish teenages have their own mobiles.We do not call our
friends so much today as we did before, we send text messages
instead.I like watching TV and I think many will agree with me
about that it is fun.I like to watch Pretty little liars, Idol, Top
Model and handball.
This is Miss Li and this is one of her song
For 25 years agoFor about 25 years ago the fashion was not the
same as today.It was modern to have wedges in the jeans, neon
colors, sugar water in the hair to make it stand up straight high
fringes, bleu mascara, leg warmers and vests.They were often out in
their spare time. They were a lot at the discos, listened to music,
were with friends and did sports.Earlier the youth didnt have any
mobile phones, so they could not send text messages.So they called
a lot from their home phone and sent letters to many pen pals.On
the free time they did not watch TV nor played computer games so
often, as we do today.
THE FOOD 25 YEARS AGOThe food wasnt the same as today, they
didnt have any kebab, thai food or chinese food.They did not eat
takeaway food as often as we do today.There were much smaller range
of foods in the stores than there is today. There were three
different kinds of yogurt, less different kinds of cereal, and
there wasnt ready microwave food.
