Almost teenagers sure that thet want make and build friendship with another people across the world. But, with difference of culture, politics, economics, and another difference make ours different too. So, can we make friendships with people from another country with difference factors?
But, teens also parents of teenagers don’t be worried. Obviously we can friendships with another people although living in a foreign country. Cultural, political or other Socio-economic differences do not come in the way of true friendships like in your real world. Do you only make friendships with people politically aligned with your views, or belonging to the same economic strata wherein you belong?
I also my friends from foreign countries have seen many people who have found great friends, even life partners, one way is from on-line communities! Earlier, it would come in news stories but now because it happens so often, it does not get media attention. I can still recall story of two business partners who met after ten years of successful partnership over on line networks.
For teens, you can join some social networking sites like myspace or social networking - the one you are more comfortable with. Find the profiles that you like and request for a friendship.
Tell about yourself in your profile as well as while making a request.Obviously, you will get some genuine friends. For acquiring their trusts, you need to be a good listener above all. Invite them to your IMs - interact with them frequently. I’m lucky to get some really great friends from Poland through myspace. I talk to them over the net with the hope that someday I’ll meet them in reality.
Yes, I believe all of us especially teenagers in the world can make friends with each other. One thing important today is the internet has brought all nations of the earth closer and it’s easier to communicate with people across the world now.
Though there are differences, they don’t really matter. As long as we all learn to respect each other’s culture and believes. We don’t have to abide by each other’s respective social rules and norms but we only have to respect them. They say love is a universal language. Since friendship is another kind of love, I think friendship can surpass all.
Just be honest in presenting yourself. Wish you all the best.
Yesterday I read articles that teenager should limit calls to less than ten minutes and children under eight should only use a cell phone in emergencies. Also people who used cell phones for long time is risk of brain tumors.
In Toronto’s department of public health has advised teenagers and young children to limit their use of cell phones, to avoid potential health risks. The advisory is the first of its kind in Canada. Officials have warned that because of possible side effects from radio frequency radiation.
For many years, most government health agencies were dismissive of any risk. But with more studies, a pattern is emerging that suggests people who have used their cell phones for a long period of time are at greater risk of certain kinds of brain tumors. (Sources: Health Zone July 12, 2008 (CBC News July 12, 2008).
I would rather encourage my kids to use the landlines rather than the cell phone after reading that article. It is something that I came across only today and that got me thinking how much do we as parents notice about children who used cell phones? As you know children below eight age can be controlled easily as far as use of cell phones are concerned. But, how do you get your teenagers to keep away from the cell phone?
How and what your protect for your children and teenagers? Now, as we know that kids and teenagers use the cell phones like adult. Not limited. I think it may be difficult to limit teens on any phone. The major problem here is cell phone have been a life style and part of our life includes kids also teenagers. Almost people also teens say, We cannot live without cell phone.
Here is simple tips maybe can help you:
- Take the phone if you are worried about your teen spending too much time on the phone and not enough time doing things they should be doing. Or, ask for the phone back to your teenagers or kids.
- If you buy your teen or kids a cell phone, first time teaches them about responsibly. Teach them a lesson in money management and responsibility. Parents also must create a constant line of communication with them, and help ensure their safety whiles out their out of your sight.
- Maybe you are as a parent thinking again allowing your teen to have a cell phone. You may still not be sure if they are ready to handle the responsible of having a phone also potential health risks.
- Or, you can try let them buy the phone and consider making them pay for the phone it’s self. But, parents still watching them used cell phones also give punishment if they are used it without responsible. Offer the phone as a reward if bad grades or behavior are prohibiting you from buying your teen a cell phone, And reward for good behavior.
