Gợi ý:

1. Some children play too many violent computer games. Additionally, this can lead to poor academic performance and a lack of physical activity. Furthermore, it can negatively impact social skills and the ability to form relationships with others. It's essential to educate children on the potential dangers of excessive screen time and promote alternative activities.

2. Many people live in poverty. As a result, they may struggle to access basic healthcare services, which can lead to more serious health issues. Moreover, poverty can contribute to crime and social unrest. Governments and communities need to work together to address the root causes of poverty and provide support to those in need.

3. Awareness campaigns help to draw people’s attention to social issues. They also encourage people to be more empathetic and understanding of others. Furthermore, campaigns can bring together people from different backgrounds and create a sense of unity. However, it's important to ensure that campaigns are inclusive and considerate of different perspectives. Additionally, campaigns should provide actionable steps for individuals to make a positive impact.

Teen's life

I don't want to be the odd one out!

"My parents don’t want me to hang out with my friends from school. They think those friends have a bad influence onme. They aren’t happy that instead of going home after school, we go to games centres to play video games. But I think it’s fun, and! don’t want to lose my friends," Thanh, 17.

“One day I coloured my hair and painted my finger nails. My parents got so angry with me. I know that this is not allowed at school, but all the girls in my group of friends did the same. I don’t want to be the odd one out!" Van, 16.

A. The emails we have received from teenagers this week point to the effects of peer pressure, which is when you do things because you want to be accepted or valued by your friends. If teens fail to do what their group of friends want them to do, they may not be accepted or may even be bullied.

B. In many cases, peer pressure can lead to depression, low self-confidence, distance from family and poor school performance. It can also lead to bigger social issues. It was reported that 70% of teenage smokers surveyed in the US said that they started smoking because they had friends who were smoking.

C. It is not always easy to stand up to peer pressure, but sooner or later you need to decide what is best for you. Choose the right friends, learn to say no when you don’t feel comfortable and don’t hesitate to talk to an adult when the situation looks dangerous. And remember it’s sometimes OK to be "the odd one out".
