The term youth can be defined as an intermediate stage from childhood to adulthood. You transfer from the dependence of childhood to the independence of adulthood. Yet the easiest way to define the group is based on age. Usually the term youth is used on a person within the age of 13-19. But the culture and ideologies of modern youth has changed drastically from the earlier generations.
One of the reasons for this change is because of the scramble for higher marks and the never-ending feeling of not being good enough in upper secondary education. They feel a huge pressure from the surroundings, and they think they must push themselves to the limit all the time. For that reason most of young Europeans spend a lot of their time trying to do better in school. Therefore more and more students become stressed and some teenagers even end up dropping out of their education.
Another reason for the change of culture and ideologies of modern youth in Europe could also be because of the pressure from friends. Young teenagers feel the need to show off and therefore they don’t think of the consequences. Teenagers use of drugs and alcohol has therefore been an increasing social problem for many years. A huge part of the European youth starts drinking a lot of alcohol and doing all kinds of drugs in a very early age.
