If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. The 21st century would make you young, creative, and of course smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation(一代)?

Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the” face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will do with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍)to be successful in real life.

Other adults worry that todays youth are spoilt（溺爱）and don’t want to face the difficulties of adult life. Many children born in the 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” .They were always there to guide their children with a busy life filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing or spotrs. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.

Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of todays teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to be leaders. More young people, than ever volunteer to help their communities.There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafeai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.

So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do GR8（ great）and LOL（laugh out loud）.

Are you a TV lover? Can you imagine living without TV? Well, you could give it a try.

A group of Americans from TV-Turnoff Network（网络）have an idea. From April 19 to 25, they are asking children all over the world to turn off their TVs for one week. They hope children will find more interesting things to do. Maybe they can read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture. Since 1995, about 24 million people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff Week.

TV-Turnoff Network says watching TV too much can bring children big problems with school, health and family. They want kids to watch a lot less TV. What do you think?

Bad for your studies

American scientists did a study of 1,300 children. They watched the children for four years. They say that if children watch lots of TV, they don’t do well in school.

Bad for your health

Studies show that when children watch lots of TV, they eat more unhealthy food. More children are getting overweight. Overweight children become will ill more easily. Watching too much TV is also bad for their eyes.

Bad for family life

About 40% of American families watch TV at dinner time. That means that they don’t talk very much when they eat together.

Also, too many violent（暴力的）things

An American study says that before a child turns 18 years old, that child will see 200,000 violent things on TV. Some kids become violent in real life.
