Dear Teen Scene,

Please help me with this problem: I think it's wrong to eat animals and I know it's also healthier to follow a diet with no meat, so I'd like to become a vegetarian. The problem is my mum believes this is not healthy, and she refuses to cook separate meals for me. So no dinner for me! Do you think is this fair?What would you do in my position?

Thanks very much for your advice!

Dawn

Dear Dawn,

I apologize if I seem hard, but a vegetarian diet is very difficult to follow - please don't invent one. In my opinion you should go and speak to a doctor to check you are eating properly. I believe it's unfair to treat your mum like a restaurant. If you don't want to eat the family meal, then cook your own.

Teen Scene Problem Solver

Page 419 exercise 7

In Britain, many teenagers take part in work experience programmes as part of their education. This means that they have a job for a few hours a week in a real work situation. The idea of this kind of job is not to get money, and in fact such jobs are usually unpaid, but to find out what it is like to have a real job. Work experiences usually lasts for only a short period - a month, for examples - and it is part of the school programme, so everyone has to take part. Obviously, students are not allowed to do dangerous or unsuitable jobs. The general idea is not to train a young person to do a job, just so that they can find a similar job when they leave school. The students are having the chance to learn what the world outside the school is like, and how to get on with other people. It is also a chance to think about a possible career, and students can discover what they dislike as well as what they like. In some schools, students take jobs in the school itself, teaching young pupils or doing office work. It all sounds like a good idea, but the main problem is in finding a suitable work for students to do. It is usually a problem easier to do this in large city areas, than in isolated rural communities.
