Many teenagers have the problem that they have to shut off their mobile device. The disadvantage: You miss probably urgent (and mostly unimportant) mails. Now the swiss portal infowing has uploaded a ringtone that only teenagers, but no teachers can hear. The call it "teenbuzz" \n\n"How does it work?" you may ask. Well, it is very simple. The portal has made a ringtone which has a very high frequency (between 18 to 20khz). As the ears loose their flexibility when getting older, high frequencies cannot be heard by adult ears. This seems to be a quite simple but effective tool. \n\nFor using this unheard ringtone you need a mp3 mobile device. \n\nThe ring tone was developed in Britain and recently spread to the U.S. via the Internet.  The cell phone ring tone is an offshoot of an invention called the Mosquito. It was developed last year by a Welsh security company and marketed as an ultrasonic teenager repellent.

Most musicians (at least the ones who are serious about music) listen to as many different kinds of music as possible.  It keeps them fresh and current with what's going on and expands their own musical range.

I've found through personal experience that my more intelligent friends tend to search beyond the top 40 or what is hot right now.  They tend to be a little more dedicated to finding a suitable song or artist that fits their style, instead of just listening to whatever everybody else thinks is cool.  I would love to see a study conducted on this theory sometime.

A person in his teen years is in a phase of life in which he is learning and experiancing all sorts of things around him.\nA teenager is primarily interested in all activities directly related to him like going out, eating out, dating, watching TV playing games, school activites etc. \nThe effect of political unrest is limited. The teenagers could get upset due to the injustices done during the politcal unrest and can form incorrect opinions in this emotionally charged environment.

mostly they drop out for drugs and boy-friends/ girl-friends that droped out too. or just for the fact that they hate people at school.\na case of making teens to go back in school is to give them small prividleges like candy or even music to make them feel confortable with the school and staff.

Ask your local university library for this article:\n"Violent Music Lyrics Do Not Usually Cause Lasting Harm" by James K. Fitzpatrick. Media Violence. William Dudley, Ed. Opposing Viewpoints® Series. Greenhaven Press, 1999. Reprinted from James K. Fitzpatrick, "Can Teenagers Survive Marilyn Manson?" New Oxford Review, November 1997, by permission of New Oxford Review (1069 Kains Ave., Berkeley, CA 94706). Copyright © 1997 New Oxford Review.\n\nand this one:\n"Studies Have Not Established a Link Between Rap Music and Youth Violence" by Becky L. Tatum. Media Violence. Louise I. Gerdes, Ed. Opposing Viewpoints® Series. Greenhaven Press, 2004. Becky L. Tatum, "The Link Between Rap Music and Youth Crime and Violence: A Review of the Literature and Issues for Future Research," Justice Professional, vol. 11, February 1999, p. 339. \n\nI got these references from a subscription database that a university library should have called Opposing Viewpoints.\n\nThis will be a hard argument to make as most valid research shows that there is a correlation between heavy metal and rap music and lower grades, discipline problems, drug use, teen sex, suicide, etc...  I suppose you could argue that the types of people who would display negative behavior would do so regardless of what music they listen to.  They listen to heavy metal because it mimics their feelings they already had.  So, listening to HM could be a consequence, not a cause.  Good luck!

with every new type of music created there are people who will say its obscene or awful for one reason or another. just look at how Elvis was only shown from the waist up durin TV interview because his dancing was somehow extreamly sexual. People even thought a "syncopayted" beat would make teens lose their inhibitions...it didnt. Older people almost always think young peoples music is a "sin." Dont listen to them

I am a youth counselor at a detention center for at risk youth and I see this alot. Now I am only 23 years old so I don't know how much I can influence the crowd here but here it goes. I think with the kids I deal with there are 2 main things that add to the equation. Parents and Pop Culture. With parenting I think people arent willing to put in the time and also agree with the fact that parents are trying to be friends. Also I don't know if there is any connection but I would say with the number of single parents increasing and the age at which people are impregnated. A irresponsible youth can't raise a responsible person. By the time the kids I work with get to be teenagers, the parent usually wants to make up for the teenage years that they themselves lost leaving a kid to fend for himself. As far as pop culture goes I just isn't popular to be nice anymore most music is about being depressed or being a gangster, alot of the movies my youth watch when not in program have to do with the same or with sexual acts. Well that's all on this matter for now any questions feel free to write.\n Timmy

There are no bad effects of music.  It helps you feel better or get over some thing personal.  Also some music make you feel good.

Said in another way - it's because some people say it's eeeeeeevil, that others are drawn to it.  Every teen has to find a way to make their parents go "Ewww, that's awful!" and rap is a nice handy way to do that.  It's a way to distance yourself from your existance as a son/daugher so that you can more clearly see what part of you is you, and what part is "trying to please mom/dad"\n\nOne more thing.  They said the same thing about Rock&Roll, Blues, Jazz, and probably Ragtime (all of which came from the same poorest of the poor culture).  Each of these brought a unique richness to the American music scene.
