What’s it like being 16?

     Fiona, 16 
     Galway, Ireland

“I’ve got lots of friends and we’re all into the
same kind of things. We like watching TV,
especially comedies and my all-time favourite
is Father Ted. We love music too, and I’m really
into bands like Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys.
I try to go to as many gigs* as I can. I’m not
really into fashion. I can’t stand shopping and
I couldn’t care less about designer labels.”

     Josie, 16
     Glasgow, Scotland

“I really like shopping. I think it’s a relaxing,
enjoyable pastime. So much so, I can spend
hours window-shopping in the city centre
with my friends. H&M is my favourite
clothes shop because you can always find
great bargains there. I also like going to the
cinema and I try to catch a film at least once
a fortnight with my friend, Tom. Everyone
my age is crazy about mobile phones and
texting has become a national pastime!”

     Jamie, 16
     Crystal Brook, Australia

“I live with my family on a farm near a small
town in South Australia. The countryside is
beautiful around here and I go walking and
horse riding a lot, but life is generally boring.
I don’t fancy living here when I’m older and
dream of going to live in a big city. My

friends and I spend a lot of time on the Internet
playing games and chatting and we watch
DVDs. Of course, like all teenagers, we always
have homework to do.”

    Kim, 16
     Vancouver, Canada

“During the week I don’t do much in the
evenings apart from my homework, so I really
look forward to the weekends.
On Saturdays, I usually hang out with my
friends down at the shopping centre where we
check out the shops for new clothes, grab a bite
to eat and watch a film. 
On Sundays, I usually go on a trip to the
countryside with my parents. I love that.”

     Brandon, 16
     Seattle, USA

“I’m an active person. I hate TV. I find sitting in
front of a TV screen a waste of time. I’m
fascinated by the great outdoors. 
I’m a skateboard fanatic and get to and from
school every day on one. At the weekends, I try
to get out of the city and go rock climbing or
paragliding. 
Extreme sports are my passion! I think it’s
important to look good, too. That’s why I go for
the sporty look.”

     Emily, 16
     London, England

“I like keeping fit, buying expensive clothes and
dance music!
I love going out clubbing with my friends at the
weekends – we dance all night. I have two
younger sisters, but we fight a lot because they
always want to wear my clothes. That’s so
annoying – I hate it when they do that!”
