Some people think teenagers nowadays are not as healthy as they were a while ago, whereas others say modern teens are healthier than ever.

I think that today's young generation is not as healthy as they were 50 years ago. First of all, the food has changed. Teens do not eat a lot of healthy foods anymore, which might cause various deiseases. Second, they are not as physically strong as they were before. During those times people spent more time in the open air, doing much of physical labor work. Many young people nowadays have bad habits like smoking or taking drugs.

At the same time there are people who say that now young people go to gyms or go on hiking trips to forests. They know about health much more than teens before and that is why they take good care of it.

Well, there are some youngsters that do sports and do care for their health, however, their actual percentage is not very high. There is a difference between between knowing what is good for health and doing what is good for it. One should have power to follow what they know.

In conclusion, I would like to say that judging by the lifestyle of young people 50 years ago compared to lifestyle of this modern generation, I strongly believe those earlier youth were healthier. Their life habits inspire some youngsters nowadays to follow that generation people footsteps and be as healthy as they were.

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight young people nowadays are healthy but in actual fact judging by the lifestyle of young people 50 years ago they were healthier. Thus, I believe that young people those days had better health.
