What teenagers like?

In my personal opinion, I think that teenagers aren't too picky and will eat whatever is available. But I think what goes well are "party"/snacking foods. If you don't know what the teenagers will like, try having several small items for them to choose or stick with the "classic" foods that everyone likes. In case there are vegetarians, be sure to have an option for them:

Chips, cookies, and crackers

Pizza: Cheese, pepperoni, sausage seem to be the three favorites.

Mac and Cheese

Burgers and Fries

Nachos:Leave out ingredients and have them build their own creations

Ice Cream Sundaes: Leave out ingredients and have them build their own creations

Sandwiches: Leave out ingredients and have them build their own

Spaghetti and Meatballs:Serve meatballs on the side in case of vegetarians

Breakfast items: French toast, pancakes, eggs, fruit, etc.

Tacos/Burritos

Chicken Wings

What do teenagers like?

Music, Hate School, Sleeping, A Messy Room, Hangin' Wit Their Mates, Ditchin their parents, We Hate EMBARASSING PARENTS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY THINK THEY ARE ''RAD'' AND ''COOL''!!

-Eliah-JonasBrothers

To all parents out there ont act like you understand what your kids going through my mom does and i hate it...dont be nosy either we'll talk when were good and ready

being a teenager myself, we like

sleeping in, we love music, ipod, phone, im, myspace/facebook/twitter/tagged/bebo ect..

junk food as in mac and cheese, sugary cereal..

we love our friends, hate our parents,

we love taking photos with our friends, being alone sometimes, but mainly being very social. partys loud music, drinking,

Edit of another Teen:

I agree with about 10% of the above, mostly the messy rooms (At least I know where all my stuff is, why do you?), some junk food and being social. All the rest is plain stupidity of an ignorant teenager. My parents are cool, we go to concerts and talk all the time, maybe all teens need to do is find common ground instead of locking themselves in a social network in their room. I hate sleeping, it is such a waste of time, two hours has worked for me for seven or so years, decent grades so I am no master mind. No drinking or smoking either, the above sounds like a majority of classmates of mine (I will never understand peer pressure).

Also, what most my friends and I like is porn. Can't go a day without looking up the newest porn and comparing amongst each other. That is probably the only twisted thing we do along with sparing and insult each other all day but that's what all teenagers do, we just do it to each other's face ^^ (17 and passing!)

PS: The only social network I reside in is Tinywarz.com and that is only for ablout 2 hours a day or idly while doing homework.

What is the definition of propaganda?

Propaganda, also known as propaganda effect, is the phenomenon according to which when we have heard or read certain statements repeatedly we more likely consider them as true, simply because we have been exposed to them before. This happens even if we have been told that the statement was false. It is a very strong effect because it involves our unconscious (implicit) memory, so it operates even when we are not aware of having heard certain statements before or even if we have heard or thought that the statement was not true. Implicit memory is quite often wrong for the very reason that is unconscious and our memories tend to blur after some time. Propaganda is often less factual or just one-sided information. It is used quite often by politicians when they repeatedly accuse their opponents. Even if the accusations are discounted just because one is exposed repeatedly to the specific information it registers as true.

Propaganda is the usage of specific information to influence public opinion or to gain public support for a cause. It emphasizes bits of information that support a position and de-emphasizes or excludes those that do not. Misleading statements or outright lies may be included. Advertising and missionary activity are within the broad definition of propaganda, but the term is usually used in politics.

___

Propaganda is particular way of presenting a message, whether true or false, which will always be blatantly biased in favor of the point the publisher of the propaganda wishes to make. It is primarily used in delivering political messages and similar techniques are used in the advertising of products.
