7 Life of youth in Great Britain

Young people in Great Britain have a wide variety of interests apart from their school work. As children, both boys and girls play many of the same games. They swim, play baseball and basketball, go boating and camping, and take part in many kinds of sports and outdoor activities. Numerous youth organizations give young people a chance to develop and broaden their interests and to gain experience in working with others. Civic, cultural and religious groups also sponsor special programmes for young people. In farm areas, boys and girls learn to work together in agriculture, homemaking and citizenship activities.

Secondary schools offer pupils a wide variety of activities to develop talents and skills. There are clubs for photography, music, theatre, art, stamp collecting, natural sciences and debating. Often schools have orchestras, bands, singing groups as well as a variety of competitive sports for both boys and girls.

Most schools and colleges have some form of student government with elections to choose class representatives. They also organize social activities and take part in such community projects as raising money for public welfare.

Many young people hold part-time jobs after school hours. Thousands of them earn money delivering newspapers or helping care for infants and young children in private homes. For several weeks during the summer holidays, about five million school-aged children go to camps where they get plenty of recreational activity and learn various skills. College students often work as counsellors at these camps during their vacation.
