This is a question I have been thinking about for some time now. I have also done a lot of reading to find out what other people think. It`s a huge issue out there and quite controversial. I have been amazed to read the things that people think about teens. How we are irresponsible and out of control, even how our brains are incapable of making distinction between spending real money and "plastic money".

Really? It makes me wonder how much of the trillion dollars in consumer debt now owed in this country is due to teenage spending on credit cards. Not to be rude but I`m pretty sure most of that is adult spending. Perhaps teenagers aren`t the only ones who can be irresponsible with money…

Dear Ben,
Thank you for your letter. It is so great to hear from you again. Sorry I haven't written for so long.In your letter you ask for advice. In my opinion you should try to take exams next year again. You should not give up, you should fight for your better future.

I also have a dream. I would like to become a journalist, because this job is very interesting and exciting. To my mind journalism is very important today.  Journalists help people to learn news, give them advice and other interesting information.This profession has a lot of advantages.  One of them is travelling. Journalists travel a lot. They can see the world, learn how other people in different countries or cities live, learn their values, traditions, etc.

Well, I'd better go now to do my homework. By the way, where and with whom are you going to go hiking?  Hope to hear from you soon.  Keep in touch.
Best wishes, 
Marina
