youth subculture is a subculture characteristic of youth. this is any association of young people who have their own elements of culture, namely: language, symbolism, traditions, texts, norms and values. modern youth subcultures are quite diverse: metallers punks, goths, emo, skinheads, glamor, rastamans, yuppi, golden youth. they are based on ideological views, beliefs, and even the meaning of life. fans of subcultures demonstratively show their unity, which is manifested in the style of clothing or behavior, the use of specific symbolism as accessories.

proper education from childhood can help to become a worthy person in the future. today, adolescents are very rude to their friends and postorini people. they do not show due respect for others and consider themselves better than others. this behavior leaves a negative opinion about these people.

i spend my free time studying. it is very important for me to finish school well and enter a prestigious university. i have little time for rest, but on the weekends i meet with my friends to go to the movies or relax at home in front of the tv.

i calmly relate to these subcultures. every person has the right to choose how to live. but still the narrators have a great responsibility for the child and for his upbringing. i want to advise parents to spend more time on children and to control their behavior.

перевод:

молодежная субкультура — субкультура, характерная для молодежи. это   любое объединение молодёжи, имеющей собственные элементы культуры, а именно: язык, символику, традиции, тексты, нормы и ценности. современные молодежные субкультуры достаточно разнообразны: металлисты   панки , готы , эмо , скиннхеды, гламур , растаманы , яппи, «золотая молодёжь» . они основаны на идейных взглядах, убеждениях и даже на смысле жизни. поклонники субкультур демонстративно показывают свое единство, которое проявляется в стиле одежды или поведении, применение в качестве аксессуаров специфической символики.

надлежащее образование с детства может стать достойным человеком в будущем. сегодня подростки грубо относятся к своим друзьям и посторонним людям. они не проявляют должного уважения к другим и считают себя лучше других. такое поведение оставляет негативное мнение об этих людях.

я провожу свободное время за учебой. для меня важно хорошо закончить школу и пойти в престижный университет. у меня мало времени для отдыха, но в выходные я встречаюсь с друзьями, чтобы пойти в кино или отдохнуть дома перед телевизором.

я спокойно отношусь к этим субкультурам. каждый человек имеет право выбирать, как жить. но все же родители несут большую ответственность за ребенка и за его воспитание. я хочу посоветовать родителям больше времени уделять детям и контролировать их поведение.
