Parents Should Do More To Keep Teens Healthy

The sound of the ambulance is in the distance… Time has slowed down… Isn’t this any parents nightmare? Teens just “are” the way they are, and speaking as one of us, keeping healthy isn’t exactly at the pinnacle of our long-adventurous list. Parents, it is not your fault, but I think that more should be done to keep teens healthy.

The stereotype teen wears rugged pants, has failed dreadlocks, and is a rebellious creature when he or she doesn't get their way. But in reality, we teenagers are just like adults except with a kick of uncontrollable adrenaline. This adrenaline, however, can cause some rather unsuspected, or unsafe actions that can lead to short or long-term health issues, which is something that no-one wants. I think that parents should try to make more of an effort (which I’m sure is great already) on the side of their children's health. All parents are awesome, but sometimes too much love can lead to bad habits or health. A tip for parents: try to limit gaming time for your children as this is modern-day cancer, as this can lead to newly-founded disorders such as the growing ‘gaming disorder’. Also, another helpful tip for parents is to watch what your child is eating, and make sure that they get the right vitamins and minerals that they need for the day. If this is a problem, try sneaking in a grated carrot into a patty, or some onions into a traditional soup.

Teenagers really aren’t that all different from more-experienced adults, so we should also be healthy like adults. In conclusion, parents are doing a great job of keeping their children happy. It just matters how they are keeping them happy, or else it could lead to a catastrophe.
