What do you think is the biggest problem facing today's teenagers? Most British parents would guess that it's drugs, but they are wrong. Parents are so worried about their children getting mixed up with drugs that they fail to see that the main causes of anxiety for most young people are relationships, especially those with friends. Nothing, it seems, can be worse than falling out with your best friends. Young people rely on their friends to talk through any problems they may have. The message, is, therefore: it is your friends who keep you sane. People today rely less and less on large family groups, and more and more on friends. In fact, students said recently that couples are a thing of the past. Friends Reunited is the most popular website in Britain. People enter the name of their school on the computer and they suddenly can access lots of people from their class, even if it is a class from thirty or forty years previously. It seems that the pull of old friendship is enormous, especially as people now rarely return to live in the places where they grew up. And how important are friends for you?
