The present generation of teenagers is very different from the ones of the earlier times
and this particular fact can be attributed to the technological growth, the changing social as
well as the political trends of the world and other significant factors (Carroll et al.). However,

generation and it is a reflection of this particular that the kinds of facilities which are being
enjoyed by the present generation of people were unheard of in the earlier times. However, I

which were not faced by the teenagers of the earlier generations.
