What is it Like Being a Teenager in Britain

School

British teenagers spend most of their time at school. Students in Britain can leave school at sixteen

(grade 11). This is also the age when most students take their first important exams, the GCSE

(General Certificate of Secondary Education). Most teens take between 5- 10 subjects, which means a

lot of studying. They are spending more time on homework than teenagers ever before. Forget

watching TV, teenagers in Britain now spend 2 - 3 hours on homework after school.

School uniform

Visit almost any school in Britain and the first thing you’ll notice is the school uniform. Although

school uniform has its advantages, when they are 15 or 16 most teenagers are tired of wearing it. When

there is more than one school in a town, school uniforms can highlight differences between schools. In

London there are many cases of bullying and fighting between pupils from different schools.

Clothes and looks

In Britain, some teens judge you by the shirts or trainers you are wearing. 40% of British teenagers

believe it’s important to wear designer labels. If you want to follow the crowd, you need to wear trendy

labels. Teenage feet in Britain wear fashionable trainers and the more expensive, the better.
