 hello everyone!
I agree with the view that new technologies affect trust between adults  and teenagers. It is  really a problem because it causes a lack of communication between the teens and their parents.
The teenagers are mostly communicating on the net with people of their age  (or not) and they create their own enclosed universe. The parents are not included in it. It creates suspicion and lack of trust from the part of the adults. They are afraid for their children, they are harrassed mentally or phisically from strangers for example, or that they are looking at pornographic videos. Almost all the time teenagers are lying on what they watch or with whom they communicate, parents shoud be firm and also try to create an atmosphere of trust and confidence. They should be friends with their children.

My culture teenagers


In my culture teenagers are  misundertood  but  I think it is the  same  in most cultures around the  Word.
Adolescence is  a period of fundamental changes for  the youth and  I think that the older generations are rigid and don't try to understand these changes.
They completely forget that once they were teens, they only try to  be representatives of responsible adults.
According to  them at least in my culture, adolescents are  totally  immature,irresponsible. They also think they are potential social failures, criminals and drug-addicts.
In my  culture  teenagers are  not seriously considered , nobody take care of  their opinion till they get married ,  have a  job and children.
The  culture of  the youth is very rich and interesting, it's open to  the word and to  all people.
So the older generations shoud take the opportunity to  make profit of this wealth  !

Hi every body ,so today I'm going to share with you something important which    belongs to my culture: Moroccan cuisine. 
Moroccan cuisine is typically mediterranean and it is also a mix of Berber and Andalousian cuisine . It is made essentially of fresh products,olive oil and spices. The dishe I love most is "moroccan meat balls. 
It is familial, convivial, light and easy to prepare. I love to prepare  it  and share it with my friends on sundays and picnics;and don't forget to keep some for your neighbours!!!
