For many teenagers, weekends are about hanging out with friends. Malhar Kalambe likes hanging out with his friends, too. Their meeting place, however, is quite unusual. It's the Dadar Beach in Mumbai, Malhar 's home city.

The Dadar Beach is a popular holiday choice. Plastic waste left by tourists used to line the coast. When Malhar saw this, he felt sorry and worried. He decided to do something about the mess.

During a school activity in 2017, Malhar talked about his decision. Surprisingly, all of his schoolmates wanted to help him. So “the Beach Please!” movement was born. Every weekend, Malhar and his friends would meet at the beach. Little by little, they cleaned up the waste.

Malhar and his friends have also been talking to the tourists. They ask them not to litter the beach. Over the years, the Dadar Beach has become much cleaner. Last year, the United Nations praised Malhar for his work. And Malhar said he and his friends would continue to make Mumbai cleaner and cleaner. That is always his dream.

So how can we fight FOMO? Should we stop using social networks? "That isn't possible for many people,’’ says Dr. Taylor. "But before bed tonight, put your phone in another room. And before you go to sleep, think about the interesting things you're doing this week. And remember how lucky you are.’’

Why do we see teenagers hanging out with a cigarette in their mouths? If you are a smoker, why don’t you stop smoking? Here are five reasons why you need to give up smoking today.

Smoking is bad for your health – besides lung cancer, smoking is also considered as a major cause of some kinds of diseases. Smoking is also linked to cancers of the mouth, and throat just to name a few. It also raised blood pressure(血压) and increases the risk of other diseases. Besides, smoking may cause life problems.

Smoking can break your relationships – Non-smokers prefer non-smoking partners because of some reasons. For one, they don’t want to let themselves in second-hand smoke. Non-smokers also hate the smell of cigarette, which usually stays in a smoker’s body even after they have washed their hands.

Smoking looks so out of style – The days of looking “cool” while lighting up a cigarette is long gone. Nowadays people are more educated on the risk of smoking. Still, a lot of people, especially young adults, think that lighting up a cigarette will make them appear better than their friends.

Smoking is more expensive than giving up smoking – You will be surprised to know how much you are actually spending on cigarettes. Do a quick online search for “smoking calculator” to find out. On the other hand, programs that will help you give up smoking will set you back just a couple of hundred dollars at most.

It’s not as hard as you may think to give up smoking – Every smoker will tell you that it’s hard to stop, in fact it’s not. They just don’t want to stop. If you put your mind and heart to it, with a little help from family and friends, you can stop that bad habit once and for all.

Building her own app

While other teenagers hang out with friends or play sports after school, Brooke Yoakam goes to business meetings.

Yoakam first began developing a mobile app called Gift Pocket at the age of 12. Now 17, this girl from Ohio, US has finally launched the app.

It allows users to upload gift cards from various businesses and store them all in one place. User can also exchange gift cards. The app is free to download and use.

Yoakam says about 1,000 users have downloaded the app, with 87 percent of them signing up（注册）and 45 percent adding at least one gift card to the service.

Yoakam came up with the idea for the app after attending a leadership academy（领导学院）in sixth grade. She was asked to solve a problem. She realized that she always forgot her gift cards when she went shopping with friends. But since most people have mobile phones, it would be easy to store and use the gift cards from there.

After leaving the academy, Yoakam decided to develop an app that would solve this problem. She won a local business competition and received $2,000（13, 800 yuan） from a company to invest（投资）in her idea. She traveled around after school two or three times a week to work on the app. She even gave up some of her hobbies and activities.

The app has helped her realize her interests. So she hopes to major（主修）in business and technology in college.
