Do you think teenagers should be allowed to listen to their ipods when they're doing work/studying?

Health-wise I know it's not that good, but I personally find it easier to work with. Anybody else feel this way? Feel free to give other opinions.. :)Do you think teenagers should be allowed to listen to their ipods when they're doing work/studying?
I used too listen to my ipod when i was working and honestly i found it distracting, i always got too involved with the music and found myself jumping around the room screaming the lyrics instead of actually working, classical music is supposed to be great for studying as it improves you IQ and makes you think but i'm not sure many teens would want to listen to classical so i say nothing is best.





Edit- I'd just like to add that if you find studying/working with music on isn't distracting for you and helps you work then i don't see a problem with it, when i answered i talked about what works for me but it's different with everyone.





=]Do you think teenagers should be allowed to listen to their ipods when they're doing work/studying?
Depends on if they can get good grades or not. Personally, I think its easier to do BETTER on anything without listening to music (even driving, for example). Some tunes can be distracting. The thing about it is, kids can dowload just about anything on those, and we NEVER hear it. As a parent, that is scary-you SHOULD know everything about what your child does as a teen (there WILL be some things, I'm sure).
I actually did a study on this subject at University (using discmans because they were the technology at the time) and found that students thought they were more focused but actually made more mistakes. We gave them math tests and reading comprehension and the group who weren't listening to a discman did better across the board than in similar tests taken in silence.
Unless there's evidence it's distracting them then I don't see the problem during private study. Though not during class obviously.





Some people work better with music, some without. Unless there's a noticeable drop in marks/grades when the iPod is being used, I think it's okay.
hows it not healthy? unless u have it full blast





i think its good.. because even though it might be a bit distracting at least it makes doing work more enjoyable





for me its either do homework listening to music... or no homework at all





so i guess thats the better option :D
Yeah I feel that way if I have to study or homework I have to listen to my iPod and at my school we get to have our iPods so there's a lot of student that listen to thier iPods while doing there work
I definitely feel that way, like, with homework, I can't really work without plugging in one of my Jason Falkner albums and listening. I don't know why I study better with music...it just helps. :)





Kelly
I agree. I always found I'd blend into the music and forget where I was, but then out of no where, my homework would be complete. The music always helped!





ღ◦Female◦ღ
my teacher do that all the time.


they say it keeps your mind focused on your work.





and my one teacher has us listen to classical piano crap because he says it help the brian grow.


ROFL
I do :D. I usually listen to music when I do homeworks which are easy to make.. if i have to focus then i can't listen to music cuz i can t concentrate anymore :D
I personally cannot study with music, it distracts me too much but if you find it easier to work with, I don't see why not :)
they should be allowed to listen to their ipods during doing homework but definitely not at school during classes.
I think that doing your work or studying is alot easier when i'm lisenting to my music. It helps take stress away. you should definitly do it...
When I'm writing stories, listening to music helps me get in a mood. :)





Homework might require more focus I guess.
Sometimes... Not always... They should always focus on work or study... =D
I def think it's fine.
How is it not healthy?! It's perfectly fine. =]
as long as they get the work done, i dont see anything wrong with it.
it barley works for me.
Yeah, it helps me concentrate. A lot of our teachers let us at my school because it gets us to shut up too.
no, and thats my final answer

Does the presentation of crime in video games influence teenagers to commit offences?

I'm more of the view that bad parenting does.





I play pretty violent games, watch violent movies etc... but I'm not planning on stabbing anyone anytime soon, or ever, for that matter.

What percentage of teenagers have questioned their sexual orientation?

What percentage of teenagers have questioned their sexual orientation/wondered if they are GLBT? I vaguely recall seeing some statistic that about 50% of American teenagers have, but I can't seem to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated (I'm writing a paper).What percentage of teenagers have questioned their sexual orientation?
probably almost all females, and some males, overall, I'd guess 70% (just a guess)What percentage of teenagers have questioned their sexual orientation?
I suspect it's much lower. I'll bet lower than 30%
Prolly 99.9% of all girls and 60% of guys
I'm going to totally make this up and pull it out of my ***. I'll say 75% question their orientation, since theres a reported 50% and I'd bet another 25% scared to say anything.





Doesn't matter though, you're researching a paper on the internet. You deserve fake data.
I would think that this number would be very much lower because most people are normal and live normal lives.

Are there any healthy diet pills that work for teenagers?

I'm 20 pounds overweight. HELP!Are there any healthy diet pills that work for teenagers?
None really work. Read the labels...they ALL say the same thing. Something along the lines of ';if you take this pill with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, you MAY lose weight.'; Even the so-called natural ones carry dangers with them that are not worth it.





There's only one safe way to lose weight effectively, and that is to eat a LITTLE less (by 200-400 calories) than the amount of calories you need to use in a day. If you eat too much less, you body goes into fat storage mode, and your attempts at starving yourself will backfire, as you will get fat quickly again when you start eating again.





Go to the site below to get info on how many calories you need in a day. You can enter your personal information and get a free report.





Go to weight watchers if you really want an effective way to lose weight and keep it off.Are there any healthy diet pills that work for teenagers?
there are no healthy diet pills period. diet pills are never good for anyone including teenagers. If you are overweight try to eat lots of fruits/veggies/lowfat dairy products. Don't eat the energy bars, atkins bars, or slim fast stuff. It's more unhealthy for you than ordinary chocolate.
best answer is to exercise, diet pills are not the way out..


once you start taking pills, you have to take them for life, and if you stop taking them,(from experience) there are serious side-effects.


Consult a doc if you do use a diet pill
Diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Exercise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No Excuses!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have struggled with my weight for years and no pill is entirely safe or completely effective. The way I lost weight was to go to weight watchers and really learn how to portion control and make better choices as far as food. I would seriously suggest going to a program such as weight watchers and start an exercise routine, perhaps join a gym.
Diet Pills aren't the solution to being overweight. They will only hurt you in the long run. My recommendation is drink a lot of water, atleast 8 glasses a day because it will curb your appetite, also eat a lot of little meals every day instead of 3 big meals or only eating once a day, if you have an orange a piece of toast and a glass of milk for breakfast, then have an energy bar (like Tigers Milk or Nutri Grain) for a snack before lunch then at lunch you won't be very hungry so have just 1/2 a sandwhich and an apple, then have some pretzels or another little snack after school, then eat whatever your mom makes for dinner, just avoid too much bread, salt or sugar and eat little portions, then have a glass of milk near bedtime, if you drink a glass of water before every meal and eat often your body won't think it is being starved and won't store fat and your metabloism will naturally speed up which should cause you to lose weight, try to exercise, find a dance class or video or go bike riding, anything to get your body moving and your heart pumping is good for you. Keep a food journal too and see how much of your diet is junk food, salt, sugar or bad fats and then you will know what to cut out and replace with a healthy alternative. If all else fails see if your parents will help you pay for the nutrisystem diet or if you are extrememly self conscious ask your parents to let you see your doctor who may recommend a nutritioinst for you. Stay healthy! Jenn
No!! Don't cheat. If you want a healthy good looking body you are going to have to work at it.


Good luck
Don't know but I#d sure like to know
I don't know of any pills that are not harmful in some way, loosing weight is not a mystery. Watermelon eat as much as you want!!! The biggest thing is stop eating bread potatoes rice, anything with starch. If you eat only fresh fruit and veggies you will loose wieght in no time.I stopped drinking soda once and lost 10 pounds in a week!!!Stay away from candy chips anything processed. I was a teenage fatty too and I lost my wieght doing these things 25 years ago. Try nto get a pet if you don't have one .If you walk only 20 min a day this will raise your metabilism which will burn calories. Good Luck to you... It's all brain power. You can do it!!!
