What makes you happy? This is a question that many of us would like to have an answer to. However, it is very difficult, especially when you are between the age of 14 and 24 and there is not a lot of time for self-questioning. But the famous music TV channel MTV organised a survey asking exactly this question, and now we know what 1,280 young people say they think about this.
Is it going out with friends? Is it becoming a star? Is it having enough money to buy clothes and mobile phones? Well no, none of these. What makes teens happy is spending time with their families. Yes, that's right, they say they prefer being with parents and brothers and sisters to spending time with friends. And who are these teenagers' heroes? Film stars? Their favourite rock musicians? Football players? Surprise, surprise! The young people in the survey say that their hero is one of their parents.
So, what's your opinion? What's your answer to the question? American teenagers also say friendship and spirituality are important, and not material things -mobile phones and mp3 players are not the centre of their lives. This evening, when you have five minutes, make a list of the situations, people and things which give you joy.
The MTV survey is also very important for parents. It is a big responsibility to be your child's hero. It's no good being the sort of parent who doesn't find time to sit together and have a chat, to ask and answer questions. What young people want is parents that love and understand them, who they can talk to. This evening, when you come back from work, don't just turn on the TV or start cooking. Ask your kids "How's it going?" and stay there to really listen to their answer.
