Free time has always been a major problem among the youth in different societies  even if many of them do not notice it. How does it affect them, their families  and the environment they live in? And what are the ways to avoid these problems from happening?This is what we will know through this research

Teenagers in the past have not had this much free time as teenagers these days, as they spent most of their time working and doing chores. Nowadays every thing became easier to do in a very short time like washing the dishes in a dishwasher or vacuuming the house. In this extra time some youth intend to do some of their hobbies or spending time with their families. According to the survey i have done 50% of the surveyed think they spend their time in a good way. And only 61% of them spend 1-2 hours doing their hobbies. On the other hand the other 50% of the teenagers spend time on the internet, just to make time pass. And here starts the problem!

These teenagers are now able to approach things they are not supposed to have and talk to people they do not know. They start getting involved in  many problems like cyber bullying. And this makes them live in stress and fright. According to a research about 43% of kids have been bullied online. A British  study stated that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying. 

Other teenagers spend their time alone avoiding their families. Communication between them starts to decrease, making it hard to understand each other. This actually can lead to disintegration of a family. And when the major part of the society is broken and separated then the society will face a very dangerous issue. 

The environment is also affected because of the teenagers free time. Many teenagers get involved in problems with dangerous people because they are bored and do not have anything to do, leading to many crimes. According to a report, young offenders committed more than a 1000000 crimes in a single year, and they are also behind half of all robberies, and one in three burglaries.

But there is always a way to prevent all of these problems by finding a way for the teenagers to spend their time positively.

First websites that are inappropriate and dangerous should be closed. 

Second, parents should put a limit for there children of how much free time they have a day and try to spend more time with them. They should listen to them and try to understand them

Finally, the country should provide the teenagers with a variety of different places to spend their time in like clubs.

Not all youth know how to spend their time right , but with simple and easy actions by the elders many and many problems can be easily avoided.
