Teenagers in Africa At the southern nose of Africa, with the Indian Ocean on the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, lies the Republic of South Africa. It has a population of 45 million people and is about five times larger than Great Britain. South Africa has a coastline of more than 1,850 miles.

In the era of the apartheid government the country had only four provinces, but since a change in government in 1994, the country was divided into nine provinces.

schooling The current situation has become almost unbearable. South African society is filled with crime, corruption and extreme violence. The schooling system is falling to pieces as the new government is unable to govern. One must realise that this nation is led by an organization that has never governed a country before. Since freedom was achieved in 1994, billions of dollars are unaccounted for. Schools have become the breeding ground for criminals, and there are constant racial conflicts there. Being a girl places one at constant risk of being raped; being a boy might even be worse, as you are at the mercy of gangs that control the schools.

Teenagers in China 

As China moves toward becoming the world’s biggest economy, its youth have captured the imaginations of people around the world. Chinese teenagers are often a subject of media attention for their fashion sense, their growing consumer culture, perceived rebellion against a restrictive government and the new sense of personal identity that is beginning to define the younger generations. Chinese teenagers live in a rapidly developing country, but it is also a large country, and their experiences are as diverse as the experiences of any two children in the United States.

schooling Study in a Chinese highschool for one or two semesters, live with a Chinese host family, experience Chinese culture, learn Mandarin and have the experience of a life time.

Learn Chinese culture and language, make Chinese friends for a life-time and become a global citizen. All while being supported by LTL, before, during and after your stay in China, we provide support, advice, and plenty of social activities for our students.Â

Teenagers in Sweden 

Swedish law ensures that children are well protected and their rights are defended.

There are also various organisations dedicated to the wellbeing of young people. In 1979, Sweden became the first country in the world to make beating or spanking children a criminal offence.



In 1993, the Swedish Government appointed an ombudsman to protect children’s rights and look after their interests. The Ombudsman for Children in Sweden is obliged to follow the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and enforce it in Swedish society. Sweden was one of the first countries to sign up.

Family life 

Some 90 per cent of children in Sweden start off living with their mother and father, who may or may not be married and tend to have one or two children on average. But separation is not unusual. Today 74 per cent of children under 18 live with both their birth parents, while 27 per cent have a stepfather or stepmother.



About one in five children in Sweden has a family with roots in another country. Most children living in Sweden who were born abroad, or whose parents were born abroad, come from Iraq, Somalia, Poland or Thailand. About 14,000 of these children were adopted from another country. Almost 60 per cent of children live in detached houses, 28 per cent live in blocks of flats and 12 per cent live in row houses

Hobbies and pastimes Like most children the world over, Swedish children enjoy listening to music and hanging out with friends. They are also encouraged to focus on their interests. Singing and playing a musical instrument are popular extracurricular activities. Twenty-nine per cent of girls and 26 per cent of boys aged 13-15 play an instrument in their spare time. Everyone is encouraged to take up sport, and 68 per cent of 13- to 15-year-olds are members of a sports club. Soccer is the most popular sport among both girls and boys. Then comes horseriding for girls. Boys prefer floorball, followed by swimming and ice hockey. The sports interest goes all the way to the top; Sweden is number seven on the Olympic medal score list.
