Youth has always been regarded as the nicest period of human lives. It is the time for romance and friendship, emotional and intellectual discoveries. It is a period when young people can be carefree without the burden of responsibility which brings the parenthood or daily winning of one’s bread. However, youth also brings some specific problems, as in this period they “struggle” to fit themselves into society. Young people have to make the most important decisions that can have fatal consequences for their future life. These decisions demand personal maturity and personal experience which young people do not have.
The most important psychological problem of youth is personal relationships.
Young people can only become grown-ups when they broaden social contacts. During adolescence, friendship with peers help smooth the transition childhood to adulthood. Teens begin to feel and act independently from their families, and friends play a more important role in their lives and can influence their decisions. However, it is sometimes a problem for children and young people to make and keep friends.
Perhaps the most fundamental problem faced by young people today is unemployment. Because of the universal downturn in the economy combined with technology, particular jobs and skills are made unnecessary. Therefore, many youth today are experiencing problems in getting jobs. Young people today have certain needs and aspirations, and unemployment means financial worries, frustration and discouragement.

Russian television broadcasting is owned by the state directly or by companies with close link to the Russian government. Television is, for most Russians, the main source of news. Television channels and transmission facilities gradually have been privatized. There are several major television networks in the country, such as Russia (a national network), Channel One (a national network), NTV (a national network), TV Centre (the channel owned by Moscow city government), Ren TV (a Moscow-based commercial station with strong regional network), RT (a state-funded, international English-language news satellite channel), STS (a commercial television station based in Moscow). Other national TV channels include TNT and DTV (owned by STS Media).
Besides the national networks, state-run channels are offered in every region. More than half of such stations produce their own news broadcasts, providing mainly local rather than national or international coverage.

In spite of some negative effects the use of computers and the Internet can have on the process of learning, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Computers have already become a part of education and the process seems to be irreversible. There is a great challenge to teachers in all levels of education in this situation. The teachers role will in many ways be more difficult when the access to information increases and the control of the information decreases. Moreover, the question arises if computers will replace the teacher completely. Universities are offering online degrees to students. These students attend classes at their convenience without the face-to-face interaction of their peers and instructors. This trend is catching on in public education. Virtual schools and home-schooling are available for students. In spite of many benefits the computer can bring to the education process, this will hardly happen and there are several reasons for this. First, the students expect to be taught. Most of them are not ready to think “scientifically”, that is, to be able to put things into categories, to make generalizations and select the necessary information. Second, students normally perform better when they are under the supervision of a teacher because this brings a sense of responsibility towards studies. However, the most important reason is that the teacher’s role in education cannot be reduced to providing information and teaching students to organize it. Teachers instill values, attitudes and behaviors in children, understand their needs, motivate and encourage them. They help them to overcome attitudinal problems, low self confidence, attention problems and personality disorders. In fact teacher become accountable for every aspect of students’ intellectual, emotional and moral development.
