Teenagers Nowadays Do Not Like to Read Books. Do You Agree?

Reading is a great educational review for all walks of life. Reading expands the mind's vocabulary and gives a more positive impact on a person's life. This of course is a good thing because as a teenager who is growing, it is important for the mind to develop in the best way it could. There is a quote saying that people who read, succeed. In my opinion, teenagers nowadays do not like to read books. There are many factors contributing to this fact. However there is still a small percentage of them who are still the bookworms. But still the majority of them do not like to read books. Among the factors that cause teenagers to not read books is that they are too tied to school related activities. School activities which are usually mandatory are attended by these students who are teenagers. From school activities like homeworks to extra co-curricular activities, they are held on to it. The ever-piling homeworks is already good enough to cause a student to not to study what more of reading. The co-curricular activities on the other hand are where the student in this case a teenager would like to be away from academics for a while. Another playing factor in which I think that teenager do not like to read is because they do not have the exposure from a young age. From a kid being at a young age itself, parents should play their role by picking up a book and reading it. Kids at that age are in a learning process where they learn by copying. So by the parents showing their kids good example, the kid is surely able to build the reading habit from that small age itself. And once the habit is there, it will not die off as the kids grow. Therefore, if the teenagers had a strong foundation in their young age, now they will be reading progressively. Teenagers also do not like to read because of their own attitude themselves. They think that reading is just a waste of time and it is boring. This is where they go wrong and get themselves involve in more ‘fun’ activities
