*sugoi/ sugei-(awesome) obviously used when something awesome happened =)
*samuii- (cold) you can say that when something said by someone else is lame/ something lame in general.
*nan de ya nen - i've concluded this is like saying 'what the heck?' I'm not sure if anyone really says this though. haha!

Thank you very much | | you may want to say that they dress diferent and some use visual kei and other girls use decora style look it up on youtube | Whats the most popular teen website or japanese teenagers? Whats the most popular teen website or japanese teenagers? Like Bebo or My Space. | Mixi or GREE. It is fairy popular for ages from 18-50.
I think both sites require you to be at least 18.
The most users are probably in their 20-40s.
Both sites are invitation only sites, so if you wanna join, you need to find someone who already has an account to send you an invitation. | How do video games effect American and Japanese Teenagers? If you can, please tell me how video games effect American and Japanese teenagers work, health, religion, emotions, and/or creativity. | That's a difficult question to answer, but I'm glad you asked. There has been a LOT of research into this subject, and few conclusive findings, but I'll give you the unbiased results on how video games effect us.
Video games are so popular because they satisfy our 3 basic psychological needs: accomplishment, control, and social interaction (yes, even that). Satisfying these basic needs is beneficial, in the short term... happy people are healthy people. However, as with anything that brings us a sense of well-bring, video games can lead to dependency, which is not healthy.
Video game addiction can lead to neglecting other aspects of your life including work, personal hygiene, personal health, and relationships. Much like alcohol, video games can cause problems, but not everyone who plays video games (or drinks) is at risk. A recent study shows that severe video game addiction leads to symptoms similar to Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism.
There is conclusive evidence that video games effect us emotionally. One experiment proved that feelings of anxiety and aggression are heightened while playing a first-person shooter (usually intense and violent games). However, another study went further to show that players feel anxiety while killing opponents, and happiness when their own player is killed. This would contradict the notion that players enjoy the killing and shows that they are relieved when the violence ends. The second study also showed that not one of those who played violent video games were any more aggressive after the game-play finished.
Taking the issue of violence one step further, experiments have shown that guyren who are shown how to play with a Bozo Clown (bopping bag) will gladly punch the clown, but don't act aggressively with similar toys because Bozo clowns are *meant* to be punched. Carrying this over to video games, even guyren understand that games have rules: you're *meant* to kill the badguys in a FPS, following those rules doesn't reflect a real-life desire to kill. In fact, as Gerard Jones (sociological writer) explains: violence is an important part of a guy's life because it gives them a sense of empowerment. It's never taught, we're born with it.
There has been no solid findings to link video games to desensitization to violence. In fact, the previously noted report found that the same feelings of anxiety, aggression, happiness, etc were present from first kill to last. The British Psychological Society showed that video game violence decreases feelings of anger in the short term (because, violent or not, video games are still satisfying those 3 needs... and make us happier people). Signs of psychosis were no greater after gaming than they were before gaming.... they were identical. Video games don't make killers, dysfunctional home lives do.
While most research shows that video games have no effect on our long-term mental state, the skills learned in video games can be applied to the real world... good or evil. An 11yo boy, who had never once fired a gun, made 6 successful headshots on his schoolmates without missing... but he was an avid gamer. The US military does, and always has, use programs not unlike video games to train tactics and marksmanship. It's even reported that the US Marines used Doom as a training tool, years ago. One thing is certain, the US Army is targeting gamers for recruitment (even going so far as to release their own game).
Games teach us a lot more than shooting, however. Surgeons who played a brief round of video games performed significantly better in surgical simulations than those who did not. The effect games have on our eye-hand coordination cannot be refuted. Playing any type of video game, but especially those that require rhythm and reaction, can make you better at sports, music, and driving.
Games build your ability to make complex decisions and stretch your creativity with trial/error.
Out of room, though, hope this helps :p | Why do Japanese teenagers and younger women talk at a fake pitch and walk pigeon toed? I've been to Japan twice now and it annoys me that Japanese women always talk with a high-pitch tone(which is not really their voice) and they walk pigeon toed. Is this their pop culture? I was so annoyed at a starbucks in Fukuoka, I had to move! | | LMAO!!! so im not the only one who noticed this!! | What do Japanese teenagers talk about? Do they talk about sex in middle school in Japan even the females?Kids in every country are alike but I wonder if Japanese guys discuss topics like this.If you are Japanese when you were like 12 did you know about sex and talk about it with friends? | I already know sex when I was 10. Me and my friends read this porn manga. lol.. And we used to hide it under some pile of leaves and branches in the trees.
Anyway, yes many teens do talk about sex. It's not new or shocking anymore. Like YOU SAID, guys in every country are alike and they do get curious about it. It's in the development stage of Sigmund Freud. The Genital stage if I'm not wrong. | What do the Japanese teenagers think of their emperor and his family? In Belgium (where I live) there isn't much respect left towards King Albert II and his family. I was wondering if that's also the case in Japan =) | | I wish to know this aswell. Many Asian populations tend to still honor their kings, but I have no idea whether this reverence could also be applied to the contemporary Japanese. It wouldn't although surprise me as it was only after the WWII that the Japanese ''emperor cult'' dissipated. Some of these values shouldn't disappear that quickly. | Why do only Brits and Japanese teenagers support Man U while Barcelona is more popular everywhere else?!? Is it because they are more gifted? Or less arrogant? Or because they play beautiful football? Or any other reasons? | You're wrong mate. Teens all around the world support United.
And stop calling them Man U, it's insulting... look it up if you don't know why. | What do Japanese Teenagers do with their friends? I've been learning about Japan and the present-day people in Japan for a while and I've heard several things about Japanese teens, like that they have a LOT of homework, like to read comics, watch tv, and play video games, but I was wondering what their social life is like. Like, What do they do talk about when they're together, or are they shy?
Note: Thanks to all those people who're from Japan who take the time to answer questions about....well...Japan. I'm sure you like it but thanks anyway. :-) | their social life is school,
Monday - Friday school is from 7:30 to 6pm
after school many go to cram school
most get home from school around 8-9pm
Saturday school club 8am to 2 - 6pm
Sunday school club sometimes
at home they study, play games, read comic, go shopping with parents,
Sundays they might do something with their family
they are shy with strangers, they are sometimes shy with me even though i have been their teacher for a while, they talk about normal stuff. | It is true japanese teenagers do not have social life? They study about 12 hours per day,even at holiday.That's whata guy said in mexican yahoo answers.He said anime is just like a way of became out of stress.It is true?If that's the cae,i ask my self how many time they have for watch tv,going shopping,or even using yahoo answers. | | It is true that there is a huge emphasis on academic achievement in alot of Asian cultures, including Japanese. I had heaps of asian friends at school and they were always studying their butts off and topping classes. But we still did stuff together sometimes. Birthdays, bubble shakes, sushi, yum cha, sticker photos.... oh and don't forget those dancey machines you see at Time Zone. |
