We created a survey about the computer use by students in our age. We had 8 questions to find out the habits from young people. We were surprised about the results of some questions and others were like we expected. These were the questions:
Computer use - questionnaire:
1.How long do you use the computer a day?
O 1 hour
O 2 hours
O 3 hours
O 4 hours
O more than 4 hours
2. What do you use the computer for?
O For school
O For messaging
O For games
O For listening to music
O For shopping
O For illegal sites
O To get information from all over the world
3. How much money do you spend for the computer in a month? (pc games, internet connection and equipment)
4. Which games do you play on the computer?
O Action games
O Strategy games
O Gambling
O Killer games
O Board games
O Fantasy games
O Brain games
5. Do you have any health problems like…
O Eyesight problems
O Sleep disturbance
O Headache
O Psychological problems
O Overweight
O School problems
6.Have you ever found your love on the internet?
O Yes
if yes, how often?
O No
7.Have you met your chatting partner in real life?
O Yes_______ times
O No
O By chance
8.Can you live without a computer?
O Yes
O No
O Difficult
23 pupils filled in our questionnaire. Most of them use the computer for 2 – 3 hours a day for messaging and for school. This wasn’t like we had expected. We thought that most would tick 4 hours and we didn’t think that all students use it mainly for school. Despite the good intention some of them have already health problems like headache and eyes problems. This result was as we estimated.
One question really surprised us. Nobody had found his/her love in the internet, but we don’t believe it.
Likewise the next question of our survey. Our thoughts were that many pupils met their chatting partner in real life. The results showed us that twice as many pupil never met their chatting partner, as the pupils who did.
Frightening was the fact that almost all students are addicted to or at least cannot live without the computer. Regrettably our speculation came true.
In most cases our hypotheses were right. Although it was interesting to analyse the survey.

Abuse of Alcohol - Binge Drinking
During our course studies we worked out different presentations on the topic abuse of alcohol. E.g. we thought of places where the so-called binge-drinking (excessive drinking) takes place, researched statistics and damages caused by alcohol. This is what we we found out about the topic and presented during the meeting in Bremen:
Meeting points to drink in Bremen
First we tell you something about the “Discomeile”. The “Discomeile” is a street near the main station, where you can find many different discos and bars. Examples for discos are “Stubu” and “La Viva”, they promote themselves with free entrance up to 11 pm. At “1€ Bar” you can get every alcoholic drink for one euro.
Each disco has their own discopromotion´, for example “Tequila Party”,where you can drink the whole night tequila for one euro. Another one is “It’s your birthday”, it means, if you come with eight friends you all get free entrance and a bottle of vodka for free.
Furthermore in Bremen there are also special events where many people drink a lot of alcohol:
At the “Freimarkt” (big fairground happening once a year and lasting for 2 weeks) is a “Bayernzelt” where many people sit in and drink liters of beer.
The carnival parade is another one. There you go with different wagons through the city and also drink a lot of alcohol.
During the World- and European championship many people met at the “Domshof” in the city centre of Bremen to watch the match and enjoy the great atmosphere. There public viewing of important Werder Bremen matches (e.g. German cup final) takes place too.
A Northern German tradition is the “Kohlfahrt”. The adults go with a little wagon, play games and drink quickies, in the end they go eating.
Last but not least many youth celebrate house parties, these are meetings just to drink, where everybody brings some alcohol with them. Often they play drinking games, mostly with cards and cubes.

Statistics of Binge Drinking
Our topic was statistics of alcohol abuse. The first statistic of our presentation was “binge drinking among students of university of Stuttgart”. There is information about the students and their behaviour regarding alcohol cosumption given.
The interviewed students are undergraduate women and men, so we can say that men drink more often than women.
On the one hand most men say they drink excessively 1 or 2 times in a week. On the other hand many women say they never drink alcohol.
The second statistic was “beer cosumption in Germany” and the interviewees were over 14 years.
It shows that most people said that they never drink beer but it can also be seen that more than a quarter of the interviewees consumed beer either every day or several times a week.
Our last table was “patients at hospital with alcohol poisoning 2000-2006”. It shows that the number of patients at hospital has constantly been rising.
During our work with this topic, we also came across the consequential damages. They are for example that your liver and your brain gets severe damages. Your body suffers from underfeeding and is toxicated. At that stage when you don’t give your body alcohol you are subject to detox syndrome.
