Why Teens Need Music
Parents and other adults see kids with head phones, and automatically think that their kids aren’t listening. Parents usually want the music off for chores and at bedtimes. Teachers will not allow kids to listen to music in class. I think that kids should be able to listen to music during chores, school, and bed time. I want to be able to listen to music at all of these times. Here are the reasons why.
Kids should be able to listen to music during school. This is because there have been tests that when kids listen to music, they can focus better. There was a test one time that had the results that the kids did learn a little more and had a better memory. The NEA (National Education Association) home page says ” Some students can work with a radio or stereo on, while others must work in silence.” That is right on their home page. When kids are getting in trouble in class, the other kids, who are doing their work, get distracted and can’t focus on their work. When other kids are asking questions, kids who already understand the assignment can’t focus and keep working. Then these good students don’t get as much as work done. If the kids were allowed to have headphones on, they would be able to work without being distracted. When I listen to my music I can focus better because I don’t get distracted by other noises. I think many kids would benefit by allowing headphones with music during class.
I also think that kids should be able to listen to music during chores. In my opinion, it makes chores more fun. I personally have more fun during chores if I have my favorite songs playing. It makes the work more fun and time seems to speed by. Kids like me are able to tune out any phone calls so they wouldn’t get distracted by their friends and forget about their chores. It can also be fun when using a vacuum, the music just makes you dance and enjoy chores. If there are more than one kid, then the music can keep them from arguing with each other. It is really fun to listen to music while you work, and I think it would be a good idea to let your kids listen during chores.
I also think that music would and can help kids go to sleep. It has helped for at least the last 7 years get to sleep. It in the past has also given me a good sleep because I have heard noises outside that scared me and kept me awake. I mean noises from the weather like wind and rain, or the cars going by, or noises like the trees hitting your window. It might also help if you watch scary movie music can make you think better thoughts. I really feel if you like music, you need to listen to music while you go to sleep. It doesn’t matter what type, if you like it it will help you get to sleep.
I hope you all have enjoyed this. I also hope you learned something about kids that you may not have thought of before. Music might help your child be better at school work, have more fun with chores, and have a good night sleep. Without these rules, the only time I have to listen to music is my down time. I don’t get very much of that, and I live for music. No matter where you are, I think that kids should be able to listen to music. Also, I want to let you know that during the time I was writing this entire essay, I was listening to music.
