At school three kids — Lera, Max and Petya were given a task to make a presentation on health problems widespread among teens. They decided to interview their classmates for this reason, and that was what they said:
(1) I have most terrible headaches! I think it's because I watch too much TV late in the evening, so I sleep badly the night after, and wake up with a headache.
(2) My biggest problem is my back pain. It really spoils my life, I cannot do a lot of things and I always think about the pain. Probably, I have it because I'm not really physically active and I sit for the most part of the day: at school and then at home doing my homework, watching TV and playing computer games.
(3) The thing that bothers me the most is eye strain. My mom says it's all because I stay on my phone a lot, but I think it's because I read too much. I think I should go to the doctor soon, or my eyesight will fail.
(4) My parents always tell me that if I play my music too loudly I will eventually suffer a hearing loss. I don't really believe them, it sounds ridiculous! They say that probably that's the reason why I never hear their advice, but, honestly, a lot of the time I just don't pay enough attention.
(5) My biggest problem is, for sure, acne. It's all over my face. I feel so bad about myself because of it and I really wish it would pass. My doctor said that's normal for teenagers to have them, but she also gave me some advice on how to fight the problem in the meanwhile. She said diet improvement can help, as well as a better skincare routine. I think I agree with her.
