BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT
We are living in a world with many opportunities for young people, but we are living in a world with many risks and dangers too. Both factors are different in the past and are different now because of different ways of life, different societies, different technologies and in consequence different leisure activities. These facts mark an appreciable difference between us, young people of nowadays, and them, young people of our grandparents’ generations. For example, when they were young, going to school was so difficult, and people who study a lot were respected by another people and classmates, today this is totally in an opposite way, it seems as people who wants to learn make their classmates laugh. In the past having food to eat was a great lucky, Nowadays people throw food regardless of hunger in the world. These and many other differences are due to a consumer society, which is moving very fast, in which our life quality is growing but undiscovered troubles are growing too.
GOOD AND BAD LEISURES ACTIVITIES.
Free time are the hours, minutes or seconds which we are not working or studying and we can enjoy them in very different ways. Nowadays, teenagers have many different ways to spend their free time, but they often take the wrong ones.
A good way to “enjoy” free time, by many teenagers, with future suffering, is for example BOTELLON when every weekend’s nights millions of teenagers meet in public places to drink alcohol irritating the neighbours and acting like vandals. BOTELLON is very popular regardless the terrible consequences.
Another way how some teenagers spend their free time, fortunately only a few teens take this way, is the way of BULLING. These people enjoy hurting helpless people. For example these “people” choose a weak and alone boy, and they hit and attack him cowardly.
Fortunately all young people don’t take the wrong way. Many teens go out with their friends enjoying a sunny afternoon or they go to the cinema, or they play videogames in a cyber or they go to the library or they read comics. Although these last leisure activities are done by freaks, this is said by some people who sponsor the ignorance.

MY LEISURES ACTIVITIES AND MY FREE TIME.
In Ourense, we have the advantages from a small city but also it sustains in a great way our necessities like a big city. For example, there is no beach, but there are TERMAS CHAVASQUEIRA, near the river, which are very popular in Galicia and Spain. Also we have many and great cultural offerings at AUDITORIO MUNICIPAL, at CASA DA XUVENTUDE or at TEATRO PRINCIPAL. There is one possibility which you can make a show with another people if you join to one of popular drama groups like I did it.
I’m in different drama groups which I spend my free time but I go out with my friends too. One of these groups is EL OBRADOIRO DE TEATRO DE LOLY BUJÁN. I have learnt so much from Loly, She is a great actress, director and also she is a great woman. She gave me the power and courage to create my own film group two years ago. This group has given me great moments of happiness but also very sad moments.
The group is called ATCC [Asociación de Transmisión de Conocimientos Cinematográficos]. It’s composed by young people like me who loves the film world or only wants to spend their free time in a funny way.
We make short films, as SUEÑOS REALES, or another that are being filmed these days, as TI TRANSPLANTAS, which promotes organ donation among young people. Also, we film video clips for groups like SIN MOTIVO or NO SENSE. We are collaborating now with COMENIUS PROJECT, and soon we are travelling to Portugal to expose our works. Last winter we made LA CASA DEL TERROR: EL PSIQUIÁTRICO NÚMERO 8 at CASA DA XUVENTUDE and it was so successful. All tickets were sold out and people came from all Galicia.
We have our own web site [http://www.producciones-atcc.jimdo.com/] where we show all about us and our projects.
Also I spend my free time reading books, surfing on internet, writing my own histories, and learning English while I see TV series subtitled, with voices in original version.
At last I’d like to suggest everybody that they can spend their free time in a productive way because FREE doesn’t mean that we can do all what we want, so we should respect others. I’d like nowadays teenagers to take a look around and ask themselves...
... Should I do what is RIGHT or what is EASY?
