What’s it like being 16?

 

We spoke to six 16-year-olds from around the world to find out what they and their friends like to do in their free time. Here’s what they had to say. 

 

• 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!
