In a recent survey of 14- to 17-year-old teenagers in the USA, researchers found that the most common worry in this
age group was body image. Were they attractive enough to people of their own (25) age?
Second came worries about money. The teens were not, for the most part, worried about not having enough money for
food or somewhere to live. The money (26) worry/problem/ issue was about being able to buy the latest fashions.
In third place was performance in homework. Most teens did not feel they had enough time in the week to do all their
homework as (27) well as they could. Then they worried because they sometimes got low marks for a particular piece
of work.
The fourth issue, especially for the older teens in the survey, was, ‘What am I going to do with my life?’ This was not
about getting married or choosing a university course. It was about the choice of a future career.
Number five was about being part of a group of schoolmates or teens who lived in their area. Nearly all the teens said
people of their own age often suggested (28) acting/behaving in a bad way by, for example, painting big letters on
public buildings or walls, and they found it difficult to say no.
Finally, in this survey, many teenagers said that they wanted to be more independent, to be more (29)responsible for
their own lives, but their parents still had the attitude that they were just children.
