A new study of “happy teenagers” is now aviable. Is tells us why these happy people are happy.

Happy and optimistic teenagers spend a lot of their time whit family and friends. They always have dinner with their family, and never eat alone. They often have a cup of coffee or tea with a parent, or brother or sister, or other relative, and chat about their day. They usually spend at least one evening per week with friends, at home or doing something together such as going to the cinema. They usually study regulary, and don't allow homework to build up. This results in low stress levels at school.

Do they eat at least one good meal a day? Yes, they do! They rarely snack or skip meals, and they always try to eat fruit and vegetables. Most teenagers are usually sporty. Surprisingly, their healthy diet comes with some unhealthy habits: many teenagers occasionally smoke, and some admit that they often smoke. They say they are not worried about the health problems that smoking can cause.

But apart form going to the cinema, what do today's teenagers like doing in their free time? The teenagers we interviewed say they often go for a walk in town with their friends, window shopping or looking at the latest fashions. They usually stop in a café and always enjoy the opportunity to relax and chat. They sometimes do sport, but this varies a lot. For example, some teenagers usually do sport three of four days a week, if they are part of a team or association like a football or judo club. They rarelt go to the swimming pool. But some teenagers don't like sport, and don't do it.

Many teenagers listen to music or watch films alone or with friends. They often buy CDs and regulary download music on their computers at home. They often speak to frinds on their mobile phones and sometimes spend an hour sending text messages to them. They sometimes read, and occasionally write, but the majority prefers films to books.

YOUTH MAGAZINE

We're a group of high school students who are publishing a magazine for people of our age once a month. Our local newspaper wants to help us, and aren't including us the printing costs. Now we need you!

We are planning a series of pages for the magazine. The pages we are preparing are: International and national news, local news and politics, culture, music and sport. We are offering advertisiments. We are hoping to have contributions from all local youth associations such as the football club, the music group, the basketball team, etc. We are looking for volunteers who like writing and who are curious about their town. We are aiming to find about ten people who would like to write for us, and also someone to help with administration and distribution.

Are you living in the area and think you can help? Please send a letter of email with your details.

CHILDREN’S CLUB

• We are a group of young people who want to help children aged 4 to 10.

• When do we meet? In the afternoon and on Sundays.

• We help children spend their time doing something useful and creative – and not watching TV. Your child can make a lot of friends at the Children’s Club.

THE ACTIVITIES:

• We love helping children do creative activities. We do drawing and painting and when necessary we help children do their homework. We plan to make calendars and plant pots this year, two interesting activities that also help children learn about time and seasons, and about basic biology.

• We also hope to make simple food. We don't have an hoven, so we plan to make sandwiches, salad and simple desserts. This helps children learn about nutrition.

• We plan to do some sport, espacially team games.

• We hope to spend at least two hours per week doing drama activities, and at the end of the school year we intend to put on a show with the children as stars.

• This car belongs to someone in the office.

Dear Diana,

How are you? I am writing from London, where I am staying for a month in a language school. I go to English class every day from 9 to 12, and then I study in the afternoon for 3 more hours. There are 20 students from all over the world in the class, and I am making new friends every day. I’m also taking drama classes in the evening and it’s very exciting.

The city is great! I am having a wonderful time with some Spanish friends, Ramon and Julia. They are attending the same school, but only 3 days a week.

Are you enjoying your holidays in France?

Lots of love,

Maria.
