Young people and their health Young people rarely pay attention to their health because they think they will be full af energy - as they are now - for a lifetime. However, they are usually interested in sports, that is more a way of socialising and demonstrating themselves ther're brave, than a way of taking care of their health. On the other hand, they usually have note a good diet: girls generally don't eat enough in order to emulate top models behaviours, while boys are just interested in hot-dogs, sandwiches, coca-cola, fried potates and such a tipy of junk food. Moreover, if they are adolescents, they start smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. These habits affect seriously their health. I think that if they involve themselves in some social activities, such ad boy scouts activities or team sports, their consciousness will grow up and they will pay more attention to their lifestyle.
