During the seventies, teenage fashion was influenced by disco. Flared trousers and platform shoes became the latest trend. Friendship is important at every stage of frfe but especially so during adolescence. The teenage years are a time of great change. It is during these years that young people become less dependent on their parents and turn to their peers to meet their emotional needs. (Pj Exam time can cause panic for a lot of you. It is important however, to talk to ^ your teachers and parents if you feel unmanageable amounts of stress. They will be able to support you and give you advice. And always remember to keep everything m perspective. There is life after exams! One of the most difficult things a teenager can face is the divorce of his or her parents.

Victims of school bullies often keep the fact that they are being harassed to themselves. Too afraid to tell teachers or parents because they are worried that the bullying will get worse if the bully becomes aware he has been reported, they keep their suffering to themselves. But this is a mistake. Teachers and parents have the experience to stop bullying without any negative consequences for the victim. So.
