American Teens vs. Canuck Teens

*DING DING*


Let round one begin with a simple breakdown on how teen Americans are. Teen Americans are ruled and controlled by violence, drugs, etc. There are over twenty shows alone on television to date about America and they're overly packed prison cells and jail houses. What kind of reputation does that put on Americas teens? Not a very good one. Over 50% of teens in America are born to teenage mothers, leaving them with no father. And to top that up, America is in the biggest recession it has been in for a while, resulting in limited, to no jobs. Which means theres no money, cars, housing, food, clothes, etc. So that means the stealing rate has risen sky high in America. Did I mention the drop out rate in America is the highest in the whole entire WORLD? American Teens usually drop out of school at age 15 (majority-wise). And not to mention, did you know that India has more HONOUR STUDENTS than America has CHILDREN. There are American teens who are obsessed with fame and fortune, and who can actually afford to live. Not saying you have to be famous to live in America, but hey, it looks like every American teen, family, person, animal; has their very own show. So maybe you do have to be famous to live their. What day dreamers, eh?

It's round two, time for the Canucks to get their breakdown. Canadian teens live the complete opposite lifestyle. Canadian teens are well known for their dedication to schooling and learning. Canadian teens are also more active and fit than American teens, Canadians lead a healthier lifestyle altogether. Canadian teens are majority-wise born to mature appropriately aged adult parents. The divorce rate is much lower in Canada than it is in America, and the parents are more strict in Canada, leading to a better lifestyle for their teens. The drugs and drinking rate is lower in Canada than most countries in the world. And the economy is slightly suffering due to America (Thanks), but not enough to cause teens to steal. Canadian teens are not focused at all on becoming famous in general, unlike American teens. Canadian teens are all about the future, and wanting to succeed in life.


This is just my opinion, it has nothing to do with the individual personalities of either countries teens, just the vast majority. Teens in Canada and their media is strong, because we enjoy watching Americans on the television. And American teens like to be on television. So in media senses, the two countries may be alike in one way, we both love media.
