LIFE IN THE CITY AND LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

LIFE IN THE CITY AND LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Teenagers from the city live a different life from that of their country counterparts. First of all, the adolescent from the city has more to entertain her. But the country teens have nowhere to go. In the city there is always a movie to watch, or a shopping centre in which to browse around and catch up on the latest styles, or youth centres where sports may be played. But rural teens usually live more than three miles out of town, and if they are too young to drive, or can't have the car, they are stuck at home. All the movie houses and shopping centres are either in town, or close to it. For the city teen, there is always the telephone on which one may catch up privately on the local gossip. But because there are quite a few people on the country party-line, the country teen can accomplish very few private conversations. As a whole, urban teens lead a different life than rural teens.
