Teenage Life

TEENAGE LIFE

How shall we write an interesting letter? That was the question we got when being asked to write this letter because the normal teenage life is less exciting.
Except his hobbies and some well-known typical youths' problems (adults call this development period “puberty“) there aren´t many exciting events in a teenager´s every-day life.

Normally he or she gets up 6.30 because our school, the Remigius School, starts at 7.30. There we are taught till 12.50 – all things we will certainly need in our life in future as we are told all the time. “Non scholae sed vitae discimus!“ That is what our class teacher, Mr Hohaus, always says to us in Latin.

Following his natural instinct of self-preservation he/she finds his/her way home for lunch. A small sleep after the meal helps to digest and to forget all the big efforts from the morning at school. After having done the homework the daily compulsory work seems to be done – now time for pleasure and fun!

We´d like to give you an example: Teenager Sören – headboy of Remigius School – likes playing the guitar enthusiastically. But he is also keen on going to some friends and then doing some sport together – if he has got the time because there is his girlfriend who also wants to see him as often as possible. Those pleasures take time till the early night. Then – short before going to bed – he remembers what homework he has forgotten to do. But nevertheless he, a normal teenager, goes to bed and takes his chance.

The weekend is the time that helps him to forget all the fatigues of the every-day life. He seems to awake to a new life. The first preparations want to be done: He has got to check the temperature of the beer, to collect money from everywhere and to invite some friends. At the latest next morning he has got to suffer from his high spirits from Friday night. But a very long sleep supplies new power for Saturday night.
And then the Sunday comes. He has got to fight the consequences of Saturday night and the deep depressions when thinking of Monday morning with school, homework and class tests again. And then the circuit starts again!

Don't worry about your German, our class teacher has had his hands in our English as well :-)
