Are Norwegian teenagers crazy?

A normal Norwegian teenagers daily life often consits of a schoolday, homework, eating, sleeping and most important activities after school. In norwegian it`s called "fritidsaktiviteter". And almost every teenager in Norway have one of them.


On a week day it`s normal to wake up around 07:00 and 07:30 because school starts very early, around 08:00 or 08:30. For breakfast most people eat either a slice of bread, porridge or cereal. It is normal to eat breakfast every day, but a minority don`t do it.

Some people walk or bicycle to school, but many do also use public transport. When we arrive at school it is normal to get there some minutes before so we can talk to our friends. After normally three classes, one class is often one hour, we have lunch. Not very many schools have a cafeteria were you can sit, but we often have a place to buy food, and we eat it in our classroom.

A school day ends between 13:00 and 16:00. After school very many people eat some snack (in Norway we eat a lot) and then we do our homework. We are often with our friends and hang out with them till our activities begins or till it is dinner.

In Norway a teenager often do one or more activities after school. The most popular activities are football, handball and cross country skiing, but very many do other things also. It`s normally 2 - 4 trainings a week, and some in the weekends. One training last in general for two hours.
When we don`t have training we often workout on our own, maybe we take a jog, walk, hike or go on ski. Some may think we are crazy since we train so much, but we do only have very much energy and like to get it out with training.

After training we may be eating some more, we call it "kveldsmat", and then we go to bed around 22:00 and 23:00.

This is how a Norwegian teenagers daily
life is, and it goes on like that for ever......
