TEENAGERS lead an exciting life in high school, making friends and dreaming about the future. However, as all young people know, teenagers have plenty of worries too.

Do you know what British teenagers worry about most? A survey by the UK's Department of Health shows that the top worries are losing weight (減肥) and fitting in (適應(yīng)). Over 100,000 teenagers took part in the research.

Losing weight is a big concern among teenagers. This may be an effect of famous people with perfect bodies around them.

Adolescence is a physically and emotionally difficult time. Teenagers want to feel good about their bodies.

It's also important for them to be accepted. Many teenagers were picked on (作弄) in high school. “Who should I eat lunch with?” “Who should I hang out with?” “Will I be accepted?” These questions are troubling many UK teenagers, according to the survey.

It's interesting to see that family background has an effect on teenagers' worries. Teenagers from low-income families worried more about losing weight and bullying (欺凌弱小). Teenagers from higher income families were more likely to worry about fitting in and peer pressure (同輩壓力).
