                                                      Teenagers are in a Crisis: Beware of Them!

One of the most prominent social problems a teenager faces today is the dispute between him and his parents. Recently, we have heard of many complaints, such as Mike's, which demonstrate that parents don't see eye to eye with their children on a lot of things. In this article, we will focus on some of these problems and suggest some useful solutions to overcome them.  

On the one hand, it seems that the classic problem of school results never ends as long as parents don't value their children's accomplishments or accept them for who they are. Besides, the excessive use of the internet or addiction is a significant cause of the strained relationship between the two generations. Parents are worried about their kids and usually translate their fears into verbal violence, which leads to serious social problems. In addition to this, laziness and failure to fulfill one's family role make the relationship worse. 

On the other hand, the best solution to strengthen this relationship is through ensuring mutual respect. Moreover, it is advisable to talk about what is bothering you to avoid it. Also, it is necessary to establish trust and talk openly about good and bad results without lies and deceit. Organizing one's time also helps prove to your parents that you are responsible and worthy of their trust.

So, adolescence is one of the most difficult stages that a person goes through. To overcome this stage, sacrifices should be made from both sides

Project Work: Designing a Leaflet on a Tunisian Destination

 Welcome to my Beautiful Tunisia

Gabes is the Mediterranean's only coastal paradise, surrounded by excellent shorelines. Its wide palm forest is very charming, and its ancient city is notable for its original style. But Gabes is, above all, the gateway to the Sahara, the beginning of an adventure over valleys and dry hills, Bedouin tents, and ancient Berber communities. Traditions and indigenous lifestyles may still be found here, such as the spectacular subterranean town of Mount Matmata. In the colorful market in Jara, you can buy spices and Henna powder: a medicinal plant for dying picked in the oasis. 

To completely feel the emotions of the desert, you may discover absolutely unique kinds of accommodation in the region: Saharan-style hotels, guesthouses in Tamezret, and lodging in a cave-dwelling in Matmata. The "mergoums" serve as furniture replacements with their warm colors: vivid red, night blue, brown, and orange.

Section 5: Writing: An Article on Family Misunderstandings

Generation Gap: Is it Endless? 

Nowadays, family problems are one of the most common causes of disruption for teenagers. Misunderstandings between teens and their parents might become severe, which makes it necessary to find some solution to this huge gap between two different generations. 

Parents often don't see eye to eye with their children on a lot of things. Mothers usually have a row with their daughters over their looks. For example, the clothes, the haircut and the look make parents argue with their children. Besides, parents sometimes push their children over the edge to make them fulfill their own ambitions. Therefore, some teenagers get depressed when they feel that their parents don't value their accomplishments or accept them for who they are. But, there is always a way to deal with problems.

In order to improve the relationship between the two generations, it is important to adopt a control strategy. First, teenagers should show their parents that they are grown up and that they have their own preferences. Second, they should tell their parents openly what bothers them. Also, parents need to understand their kids and show interest in their choices. Finally, communication is the best way to transfer a damaged relationship into a smooth one.

To conclude, every family has problems once in a while because of trouble understanding each other since different generations see things differently. But, family problems shouldn't be blown out of proportion, otherwise, the whole family will collapse and the generation gap will remain endless.
