Teenagers

By: preeti There is one very important aspect among the teenagers is the feeling of competition. Today’s teens want to show off to the society their existence. In a time and age where social status is everything for teens, they feel that MySpace is the only way to really make themselves feel like they mean something in their group. The teenage years are crazy times and MySpace provides space to

So you're sitting talking to a girl you know, at a party. Earlier you'd put your arms around her and told her you like cuddling her. You told her she's pretty. Then you sit down opposite her and she asks you how you are. You talk about the many problems you think you have.All the while she sits opposite you in a thin lace dress. The night air is crisp. She's visibly shivering.You're wearing two thick jackets and a long-sleeved shirt.You sit and you talk about yourself. She listens for a long time. You look into her eyes and tell her you don't know why you're telling her this, except... you trust her.Her teeth chatter as she smiles and helps you sort through your issues. You don't really listen at first, you're too caught up in the idea that nothing will help.But then you admit that she's r

Everybody knows that summer is the time for movie blockbusters. School is out and movies are made with young people in mind. That is not to say that adults don't go to blockbusters, however kids and teenagers make up a majority of the audience.Judge over at Media Morgue has written an article discussing the upcoming summer potential blockbusters in 2008 Summer Movie Preview. Since today might be considered the official beginning of the season with the opening of Iron Man, I thought that this would be a good time to look at it. (This article was written a while ago and the opening date of Forgetting Sarah Marshall was moved up to become a spring release).I was actually pleasantly surprised that there were more movies on this list that both parents and teens would enjoy than I thought there

Image via WikipediaWhen I first had the idea to write about teenagers on television over the years, I was planning on doing so to discuss how realistically teenagers have been portrayed over time. But after making the list in chronological order, other patterns stood out.First, here is the list of many or most television shows that had portrayals of teenage life as part of the theme of the show. I might have left some out, either purposely or accidentally, but I think there are enough here to get the sense of what happened during different time periods. The TV shows are in chronological order of when they premiered:The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet 1952-1966Father Knows Best 1954-1960Leave it to Beaver 1957-1963The Donna Reed Show 1958-1966The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis 1959-1963Gidget

Parents don’t like the thought that their children could destroy their own lives.

This is my oldest daughter, Kelly. She just turned 14 years old. Isn't she beautiful? Ahhh, I remember being a teenager and thinking I knew everything. It's a hard job being a teenager. You have to worry about who your friends are, if they are the right friends, what your going to wear and if it's in style. All the while trying to find your own identity and figuring things out on your own. One thing I have always tried to teach my children is to be their own person. If your friends say your favorite shirt is out of style and you still like it - keep wearing it. There is too much pressure on kids to try and 'fit in'. Trying to make sure they look a certain way, act a certain way, wear certain clothes. Just be your own person. Don't be a puppet.Kelly struggles with this sometimes, but I thin

A survey, which was conducted by social networking website Habbo across 31 countries, revealed that Nokia's dominance at the top of the global chart has been weakened.Despite the 58,480 teens which took part in the survey say that Nokia is the number one mobile brand globally, Nokia has lost some favour with teens to Sony Ericsson and Samsung since 2006, when the previous Global Habbo Youth Survey was conducted.Despite still being the favoured handset in 15 of the 31 countries polled, Nokia loses out to Sony Ericsson in markets such as the UK, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, in markets, where Nokia ranked first in 2006, which suggests that brand loyalty to Nokia, amongst teens globally, hasn’t increased alongside Nokia’s market share, which reached 40% in the fourth quarter of 2007.

[A]n employer can avoid liability under Title VII for harassment (on a ground, such as sex, that constitutes a form of discrimination that the statute forbids) of one of his employees by another by creating a reasonable mechanism by which the victim of the harassment can complain to the company and get relief but which the victim failed to activate.... The mechanism must be reasonable and what is reasonable depends on "the employment circumstances," ... and therefore, among other things, on the capabilities of the class of employees in question. If they cannot speak English, explaining the complaint procedure to them only in English would not be reasonable. In this case the employees who needed to be able to activate the complaint procedure were teenage girls working in a small retail ou

By Johnny AdamsAcne is among the greatest problem teenagers face in modern society. It causes alterations in their physical appearance that may range from modest to terrible, and may be almost impossible to treat. Likewise these physical changes carry a large number of mental outcomes which burden teens in different ways.Social positions can likewise turn difficult and unwished-for, and other teens could steer away as friends because they are also very self-aware about their own appearance. So what cultural complications does this condition bestow? This report will talk about a few of those social views and what could be answered to aid teenagers understand and address this very common condition.Many people who are not troubled with acne do not realize the difficulties connected with this

In Russia 15 to 20 teenagers commit suicide monthly. Surprisingly enough, a few of them do this secretly. All over Russia there are hundreds of websites that will gladly help you to lay hands on yourself. At first glance they seem to be nothing but somebody’s stupid game: more than a thousand peers of 11 to 25 years old spend hours discussing several ways to suicide themselves. This, however, is not a game: all these people are dead serious. They will not just advise you on how to die in a more sophisticated and pleasant way, they will also gladly help you to pop off.

The following is a guest post by Sara Johnson. Just because you are a plus-sized teen doesn't mean you can't be a fashion queen! Check out some of these style tips: Don't Hide Under Baggy Clothes The biggest fashion mistake that plus-sized teens make is hiding themselves under layers of over sized, baggy clothing. The intention is to conceal their extra pounds by covering themselves up. Unfortunately, wearing baggy clothes only makes you look bigger, and it hides the shape and figure that you do have. A baggy, long shirt will mask your waistline and make your body look much wider than it actually is. Plus girls actually need a more tailored, well fitting wardrobe than their smaller counterparts! Get clothes in your size, or one size larger if you like a slightly loose fit - but no more t

Three are from the U.S., one from the U.K. Three started when they were in their teens and one started when he was not even in double figures. Two are boys and two are girls.

As children grow up and become more independent there is little need for them to go everywhere with their parents anymore. However many parents still want their teenage children present whilst on shopping trips if not for the purchasing of goods but simply just for the company and involvement in their teenagers life. Shopping with your teenage children is a great opportunity to talk to them about aspects of their life and to generally keep up-to-date with what is going on in their life. By planning a shopping trip it is a great opportunity to spend time together and enjoy each others company. When you do plan a shopping trip with your teenager it is important that you set boundaries spending wise. If you don’t have a large shopping budget then avoid ‘power shopping’ there is nothi

Almost half 42% of British teens say people who do not use condoms are irresponsible, four out of ten say its too risky not to, and only 2.5% of Britain’s 13 – 17 year olds think it’s cool not to use condoms. Yet many don’t bother to use protection when having sex. So why are teens today not protecting themselves?Not thinking about the consequences of unprotected sex is named as the number one reason why half of all 13 to 17 year olds in Britain don’t use condoms. Excuse number two is the lack of availability of condoms at late night parties, in fact 48% of young people have today revealed that not being able to access condoms whilst staying out until the small hours of the morning prevents them from having safer sex.In third place, 46% of teens say that as the night hots up and

Nicotine may cause the teenage brain to develop abnormally, resulting in changes to the structure of white matter - the neural tissue through which signals are relayed. Teenagers who smoke, or whose mothers smoked during pregnancy, are also more likely to suffer from auditory attention deficits, meaning they find it harder to concentrate on what is being said when other things are happening at the same time, according to an article published in The New Scientist.Leslie Jacobsen of Yale University School of Medicine and team studied 33 teenagers - all their mothers had smoked during pregnancy. Twenty-five of the teens whose mothers had smoked during pregnancy were daily smokers themselves. They also studied another 34 teenagers whose mothers had not smoked during pregnancy - 14 of these tee

Teenagers who have had formal sex education are far more likely to put off having sex, contradicting earlier studies on the effectiveness of such programs, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.They found teenage boys who had sex education in school were 71 percent less likely to have intercourse before age 15, and teen girls who had sex education were 59 percent less likely to have sex before age 15.Sex education also increased the likelihood that teen boys would use contraceptives the first time they had sex, according to the study by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which was published in the Journal of Adolescent Health."Sex education seems to be working," Trisha Mueller, an epidemiologist with the CDC who led the study, said in a statement. "It seems to be especially effective for populations that are usually at high risk."Mueller's team looked at a 2002 national survey of 2,019 teens aged 15 to 19.They found teen boys who had sex education in scho

In an effort to make shorter, easier-to-read, posts I will do this as a series of posts.Part 1:TeenagersIntroduction to Demographics.When selling anything you have to ask yourself some questions:1. Who can afford to buy this item?2. Who would want to buy this item?3. After figuring out question 1 and 2. When would (most of) those people be at work?4. Would these people bid at work or only at home?5. What time would these people go to sleep? (they can't bid if they're asleep)The idea is to try to find out how many groups your item sells to. The more groups, the more people will be interested in it, the less you have to think about what the best time would be. However, if you have few groups, you need to make sure you know what is convenient for that group.NOTE: These are generalizations, of course not all teenagers follow this set up.Group 1: Teenagers (13-19)Not all teenagers have the same needs or schedules so you have to think carefully and really pinpoint a specific demographic.Ki

If you're a son that's desperate for a game for your Wii, then you'd better not be doing anything stupid before you get it. That includes smoking pot on your garden patio with your friends. Isaac was caught smoking, which then led to his surprise Christmas present to be sold on Ebay. A few days later, it was dugg and everyone knew about it. In the auction, the father writes an account of what happened.So I spent who knows how many hours of my life trying to get “Guitar Hero 3” for the Nintendo Wii for my 15 year old son who has been begging for it since he was born (well not really but he’s wanted it for awhile). So after waiting in lines and going into every game store in the city over the last 2 weeks (practically being laughed at when I asked for guitar hero 3) I finally got lucky and got one at EB Games (they just got a shipment of them 25 minutes before I walked in!).So I was so relieved in that I had finally got the Holy Grail of Xmas presents pretty much just in the nic

Its not very uncommon to hear about troubled teens because I think teenagers today are more or less, innately deviant. But what is becoming more and more alarming is the rate of teenagers having issues about drug addiction and the number that actually goes to drug rehab compared to those who are not.Statistics say that smoking and drinking alcohol predisposes teenagers to more potent substance abuse like cocaine and marijuana. It is like a gradual process of learning wherein you learn first the basic of the subject for instance medicine, you have to first master the concept of anatomy and physiology before progressing through the higher level of clinical learnings. Same is true with alcohol and drug addiction.While some prefer to undergo drug treatment, an increasing number of troubled teens do not even admit being an abusive user or an addict. This I think, is the first and the hardest step in going into drug rehabilitation-the awareness that one is into substance abuse.There are alot

By: Dr. Noel Swanson..As a parent, having a child reach the teenage years is joyful as well as a situation that brings with it new and interesting child discipline challenges. Your child has now completed childhood and made it to young adulthood. This breeds its own set of child discipline and child behavioral problems.Here is some parenting advice to help you get through.Deal with situations as they appear. Don't worry unnecessarily about what all can go wrong. Learn to trust your child but be there for him when he needs you. Accept the fact that parents and books can teach only so much; the rest they will learn from life’s experiences.The most important thing for parents to do is build a rapport with your teenager. It always helps to treat your teenager as an adult; it boosts their ego and prepares them for what is coming.First of all, treat your child as an adult. Many teenagers feel that their parents still view them as children. So they go out of their way to show how adult the

If you've ever tried to buy gifts for teenagers, you've probably run into a common problem: Teenagers are hard to buy for!Buying gifts for teenagers is difficult. Each one has their own tastes and style, and some are influenced by popular culture while others aren't. So the first step in figuring out what kind of gifts to buy for teenagers, is to find out a bit about the teenager. If that fails though, here are 5 gift ideas that tend to go over well with almost any of them.1. MP3 Player - Music players are popular. And they're useful too. Now some teenagers might turn their nose up at any MP3 player that isn't an iPod, but many others would be thrilled to have one if they don't yet already.Try finding one that gets radio broadcasts in addition to playing MP3s, that way they'll have some variety when they're tired of listening to the same songs over and over. Also try getting an MP3 player that doesn't require extra cords. Those could be lost in a teenager's room. Many MP3 pla

Letra (Lyric): Teenagers My Chemical Romance Composição: Gerard Way They’re gonna clean up your looks, With all the lies in the books, To make a citizen out of you. Because they sleep with a gun, And keep an eye on you, son, So they can watch all the things you do. Because the drugs never work, They’re gonna give you a smirk, Cause they got methods to keep you clean. They’re gonna rip off your heads, Your aspirations to shreds, Another cog in the murder machine. They said ”All teenagers scare the living shit out of me, they could care less as long as someone’ll bleed!” So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose, Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me. The boys and girls in the clique, The awful names that they stick You’re never gonna fit in much, kid. But if you’re troubled and hurt, What you got under your shirt, Will make them pay for the things that they did. They said ”All teenagers scare the living shit out of me, they could c

By: Elmo Kandel There is a sleep disorder that affects between seven to ten percent of teenagers called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder, also known as DNS. Most teenagers outgrow this disorder by the time they reach young adulthood. Less then one percent of adults are believed to have DSP. Often people mistake this sleep disorder for insomnia.Left on their own, people with delayed sleep phase disorder would stay up until very late, sometimes until 4 or 5 a.m. They like to get up very late in the morning or early afternoon. Often they are referred to as night owls.Many teenagers like to stay up late and sleep late in the morning. Sometimes this is because they want to socialize at that time of the day. However, it can also be due to the natural delay in the circadian sleep / wake rhythm at their age of development. Teenagers with this sleep disorder often have a very hard time getting up in the morning for school. Even if they go to sleep at a regular time, such as 11 p.m., they toss and t

By: Gillian Reynolds It’s pretty hard to find anyone who actually looks forward to the idea of getting braces. This is particularly true of a young man or women in their teens. Braces for teenagers do take some getting used to, and it’s really helpful if you know what to expect before you have them put on.The most important thing to bear in mind when it comes to oral braces for teenagers is the end result. Most teens do care about the way they look and that’s why they find it so unappealing to imagine themselves with a mouth full of braces for the next eighteen months to two years. Braces will improve the child’s teeth and that’s really something parents need to focus on. Explaining to the teen that the braces will ultimately leave them with a movie star smile does help.Once the day arrives for the braces to be put on, the teen is going to feel intimidated. Braces for teenagers take several hours to put on. For this reason it’s a really good idea for mom or dad to arrange s

Parents just about experience it hear about it from battle weary veterans who tell their stories with a knowing yet tired look. Your precious darling has just hit the teenage years. You don’t know who this person with the multi color hair, and unfathomable body piercings across from the table is. Did some alien race come in the middle of the night and steal away little Sally or Joey? They must have. The Sally and Joey you know are the ones who demanded hugs and kisses before they went to sleep at night and asked for milk with their cookies. Now this creature before you gives a withering look when you ask if they want milk, “Please, mother, you knooow I don’t eat anything with a face. I’m a vegan.” Vegan, smegan, you say as you send off the DNA test to the nearest lab, but the results came back and to your amazement that creature is your child. On top of this, even though there is some dramatic changes going on in the life of your child, you are the last person to whom he or

Depression has become a culprit in teenage life. It has become one of the worst teen problems nowadays. It might not be that obvious like drug abuse and pregnancy, but it destroys your teen kids in silence. Some teenagers are good at hiding problems. Most parents don’t notice it. Some of parents even deny or refuse to believe that their kids are having depression. Depressed teenagers can be over-achievers, cheerful and active. As parents, you won’t even suspect that they are having such depressing moments. Conversation is a way to ask your kids about it. However, teenagers usually refuse to talk with their parents. They always find if uncomfortable and in a way “invasion of privacy,” or however kids put it. Sometimes teenagers have no choice but to hide their problems away, simply because their parents don’t have enough time for them. Or, kids are afraid to worry their parents. Whatever reasons they have, you still have to talk to them. However, if you thi

Seventy four percent of sexually active females between the ages of 15 and 19 have partners who are the same age or 1 to 3 years older. Twenty five percent of girls had a first partner who was 4 years older or more. Twenty percent of teenage mothers have a partner six or more years older. These statistics on teenage pregnancy are important because the younger the girl is when she begins to engage in sexual intercourse, the greater the difference in age between her and her partner; more importantly, adolescents with older partners are more likely to be sexually active on a consistent basis, less likely to use contraception, and much more likely to experience at least one unintended pregnancy. Among adolescents between the ages of 15 and 17 who practice abstinence, 94% claimed that concern about an unwanted pregnancy was the major influence in their decision to wait to have sex. Of those girls who are sexually active and are between the ages of 15 to 19, the rate of pregnancy has decline

Meridia (sibutramine), combined with behavioural therapy, has been shown to be effective in helping obese teenagers lose weight, according to a study carried out by Dr. R Berkowitz and team at Children Hospital of Philadelphia. The researchers found the treatment is effective for obese 12-year-olds as well. The study involved 498 12-16 year old children at 33 weight-loss clinics - all of the children were obese. The children were divided into two groups, one received Meridia combined with behavioural therapy while the other received a placebo and behavioural therapy. The Meridia group lost an average of 14 pounds over a year, while those on a placebo carried on gaining weight. Those on Meridia also managed to achieve better HDL cholesterol levels and triglycerides (HDL is the good cholesterol). The study found Meridia is relatively safe and effective for younger teenagers. Meridia is approved in the USA just for people over 16 as a drug for aiding weight loss. You can read about this s

A video has been released by pro-Taliban tribal savages in Pakistan, showing a teenager using a knife to behead one of the sixteen soldiers who were kidnapped earlier in the month: Pro-Taliban militants have released a video of an apparently teenage boy beheading one of 16 paramilitary soldiers kidnapped in South Waziristan. The 35-minute video, a copy of which was obtained by AFP, entitled “Revenge” first shows the 16 soldiers, all of them in uniform. Four teenage boys with Kalashnikov assault rifles, daggers and headbands with jihadi slogans are then shown along with one of the soldiers kneeling in front of them. One boy cuts off the soldier’s head using a knife and holds it up for the camera. The soldier’s body was recovered on August 14 from a nearby town. The video shows the victim saying just before his death that “security forces should not fight against the Taliban”. The headless corpse was found near a town market: The headless body of th

Nowadays every person does not have normal teeth. Teeth sometimes grow very awkward in individuals and hence create problems for them. They first problem which people face is the issues they face while eating. It is very hard to chew properly if you have your teeth in the wrong directions. But the real problem is to face the people with the awkward smile you may have with these wrongly grown teeth. You may loose your confidence or even worse. Teenagers are always obsessed with their looks and appearance. If they happen to have their teeth disordered, it can be real hard for them to face the world. They also may find difficult to socialize with other people. It can assert a bad impression on their personalities and therefore on their futures.Braces, Solution to Teen Problems:To such teenagers, who are shy of smiling and keep their mouth shut in the gatherings because of the fear that someone might not see their teeth; braces are a light of hope.

The Cost Of Car Insurance For Teenagers You will pay more for adding a teenager to your policy but there's nothing you can do about that. A daughter will not cost as much as a son, but both will pay. Make sure they keep their grades good will help. Most companies give a discount for a good grade average in school. And of course never put them on their own policy, but include them on yours for the best rates. Again, shopping on line for the best rates is the best way to do it. Rates do vary according to what company you are dealing with. What kind of car are you letting them drive? If it is a sporty fast model, you will pay for it. Pay attention to your style of car at this point. Try not to have them driving a young persons sport model unless you have plenty of money and don't care. Put them in something grandma would drive for the best premium. Have them enroll in a good driver's training course or safety class and see if the insurance company will recognize that and give a discoun

Salam & Greetings everyone… I’m really pissed off at the moment and this posting just might be a little bit sarcastic. If you hate sarcasm, please do not read this posting any further.Yesterday, one particular local news headline really caught my attention. It was first published in Harian Metro and later highlighted by TheStar Online. It was about five sex-hungry Malaysian school girls aged between 13 and 17 who were reported to have this habit of surrendering themselves along with their bodies to three separate groups of sex-thirsty boys that goes by their stupid gang names of ‘Geng Apache’, ‘Pangkah Shell’ and ‘Budak Shell’. Their wild sexual romp stories were exposed big time when they were caught in huge numbers smoking and sniffing glue in two separate locations, one in a house located in Precinct 9 and the other one in a house in Precinct 11. Both locations are in Putrajaya City, the Federal Administrative Capital of Malaysia. By the way, those five sex-hungry Ma

Yes, that’s right… Let’s talk about our Malaysian Malay (Melayu) teenagers today, the infamous brats of Malaysia. They have driven everybody nuts; parents especially! They have done everything! They have done every sort of wrongdoings that they can think of; we have seen and heard all about them in the newspapers and in our national TV channels. Yeah, you’re right… They are the living epitome of that ‘Malaysia Boleh’ (Malaysia Can) spirit all right.The government realized that our young Malaysians especially Malaysian Malay teenagers are getting wilder and wilder, controlling and disciplining them is becoming harder and harder. They hit the panic button last few years and introduced ‘Khidmat Negara’ (National Service), a compulsory national service program for all Malaysian teenagers. Frankly, I don’t think a short 3 months of training and isolation would do much good for our Malaysian teenagers. The government is only wasting the public’s fund on that silly progr

1. Encourage their pursuit of a sport that challenges and exhausts them (e.g., cross country running, swimming, rigorous martial arts training). 2. Connect them with meaningful work and support their efforts. 3. At the very least, treat them with the same regard that you would tender an office associate. You would never, for example, shout at or disparage or lecture someone in an office scenario -- not even a subordinate, right? Well, approach the training of the young people in your life with -- at minimum -- the level of respect you would accord fellow employees. 4. Give them all of the food and rest they need when they need it. 5. Well before their teen years, subtly guide them toward an interest or two that you share (e.g., birding or carpentry or flying or whatever). This way, no matter what, you'll have something in common. 6. Even if they grow to be your friends, never forget that you are their parents.

WASHINGTON, July 12 (AP) — Fewer high school students were having sex and more were using condoms in 2005, according to the latest government report on the well-being of the nation’s children.The teenage birthrate hit a record low.More young people were finishing high school, and more tots were being read to.It is good news on a number of crucial indicators of health, experts said about the report. It is scheduled to be released Friday by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, a consortium of federal agencies that includes the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Census Bureau and the Administration for Children and Families.“The implications for the population are quite positive in terms of their health and their well-being,” said Edward J. Sondik, director of the National Center for Health Statistics. “The lower figure on teens having sex means the risk of sexually transmitted diseases is lower.”In 2005, 47 percent of high s

On Saturday the U.S was knocked out of the Under-20 World Cup with a 2-1 loss to Austria, but that didn’t diminish last week’s dramatic come from behind 2-1 overtime victory against Uruguay—a battle that didn’t quite end with the final whistle. “After the match, the South Americans tried to square up with their opponents, a small mob chasing the Americans around the pitch. The Americans refused to bite. They separated from the squabbling and went over to clap their supporters. The Uruguayans went back to their dressing room, punching a volunteer along the way. ‘I was over shaking the referee’s hand and I just saw this big … thing going on,’ U.S. star Freddy Adu said of his role in the aborted brawl. ‘Then I went over and tried to keep my guys away from it.’” Above is some video of the event. It’s not quite Artest at the Palace, but it’s a decent shoving match for teenage soccer players.

WIMBLEDON, England — Maria Sharapova beat the rain and Ai Sugiyama.   With showers moving in at Wimbledon, Sharapova hurried to close out a victory Saturday over Sugiyama, 6-3, 6-3. The match was one of only two completed in singles before play was suspended until Monday. Light rain fell in the final game, and Sharapova was serving at 40-15 when umpire Lynn Welch climbed down from her chair to check the condition of the grass. She ordered play to continue, despite protests more…

Self body image is a major part in the mental and social development among kids. A child with a positive body image is developed into a happy, successful, and social accepted kid. Many studies indicate the connection between appearance and success in studies and social areas.Already in elementary school, kids relate to physical differences of their peers in an unforgiving, sometimes even aggressive way. Kids start to feel different when they suffer from any kind of physical deficiency at the age of 4-5 years old.This feeing becomes stronger with age, with the development of self - perception, and also as a result of feedback from the surroundings. The modern medicine sees itself responsible to look after the individuals' both physical and mental aspects. As part of this perception, changes occurred in the role of plastic surgeries and especially in kid's surgery.Split lip surgeriesSurgeries to fix a split lip exist hundreds of years, and in their modern form already one hundred years

L’ennesima commedia dell’insulso, forse, Cardiofitness dal romanzo di Alessandra Montrucchio del 1998; fatto è che almeno stavolta, nelle mire del suo regista, Fabio Tagliavia, non c’è stata la melassa che di solito abbonda in questo genere di commediole, con la pretesa di trasferire allo spettatore la solita dose di spicciolo moralismo; Cardiofitness è e resta, dunque, una rappresentazione cinematografica leggera per i giovanissimi, senza alcun’altra pretesa se non quella di estraniarli, per poco meno di un’ora e mezza, dalla routine quotidiana.
