1 . Cultural Differences of Teenagers
Knowing the cultural differences between yourself and others of your age can help you understand friends who are of a different race or culture.
Family
Family comes first in the Asian culture.
Friendship
Some Asian teens generally prefer having a small group of life-long friends. They are committed and loyal to their friends. Americans often prefer a larger group of friends. There might be less commitment to keeping friends for life because of their bigger pool of possible friendships.
Working Relationships
If you are working on a group project with teens from China or other Asian countries, they might focus on developing a good relationship with you.
In China and many other Asian countries, making direct eye contact is considered rude and disrespectful. However, in America and some European countries, it is not only seen as appropriate but also necessary because it means the person is paying attention. In Asian culture people are usually more comfortable with less personal space than Americans arc. A touch on the shoulder or an arm is common for Asians even if you don’t know one another.

It is interested to look at differences between schools in different countries. In many European countries which the relationship between teachers and students is quite formal, discipline and respect for the teacher is considered as very important. In northern European countries, however, the relationship between teachers and students are more relaxing and much friendly. In America, for example, the relationships are quite formal and the same is true of Britain. Other important difference is whether schools are state schools and private schools. State schools are paid by the government while in private schools, the education of the children is paid for by his parents.
