Some young people smoke because they believe that smoking is a symbol of adulthood. This is reinforced by advertisements from cigarette companies. The advertisers try to give the impression that maturity, social status, happiness and success are linked with smoking. However, surveys have shown that many young people smoke in order to cover up their weaknesses or shortcomings such as failing in their studies or sports or other activities.
There are young people who start smoking out of curiosity. They want to experience what smoking is all about. Unfortunately, cigarettes contain drugs that are addictive, and so smokers find it difficult to give up smoking.
Young people may like to imitate their parents who smoke. Many young people smoke because they want to be accepted as members of a group of friends who smoke. Their friends' persistent teasing and urging may make them feel that they are not "sporting" enough if they do not smoke. This is called "peer group" pressure.
The reasons given by people who continue to smoke are that smoking is stimulating and that it relieves tension, depression or even boredom. These are actually psychological effects, because smoking cannot provide stimulation and reduce tension at the same time.

Why do people smoke?

International marriage
How shame? According to some resource, foreigners think that Mongolian women get marry to Foreigners for money.
In 2005, 704 Mongolians got married to foreigners, according to the Mongolian Foreign Marriage Registration Office. Out of the 704 Mongolians, 685 were females. The statistics show that most of them got married to South Koreans (536). While reading some dating magazine, you will find a number of requests (of Mongolian women) to meet Korean citizens. 24 females were wed with Japanese and Chinese citizens. However they also got married to Europeans.
Why do Mongolian women think that the life will be good if they get marry with people who are American, Chinese or Korean? Before marrying with unfamiliar people, we should think what purpose are they marrying with us? Most foreigners, especially South Korean and Chinese got married with Mongolians as a purpose of having a slave for them,” say officials. The biggest disadvantage of the people married with foreigners is that they often choose the easiest way (maybe not all of them, but most of them think so..). Why don`t we get marry with our Mongolian guys, and strive for life together? Mongolians who came from abroad always said that Mongolian guys were so rude or so … and so on. They don`t know all of them.
International divorce statistics show 40.76 percent of the marriage is legally ended. Also Korean survey show that divorce in Koreans and their foreign spouses has been increasing. All in all, I think Mongolian should marry with each other to save our nationality, to save our blood and to be like Mongolian.

REPORT
give me a good place to study, i will change destiny of all Mongolians (hudlaa tom tom baav)
People say that modern guys don’t read and don’t study in the library. According to what happened to me, it seems to be wrong thought. What happened to is that I am not used to study in library, especially at the weekends, and I had some business to go Natsagdorj’s library two weeks ago. That Sunday, I departed from my home at ten o’clock. But once I got there what surprised me was very long queue that I had never seen before. The library was more crowded than black market. My imagination of library had been very quiet place similar to that in foreign movies. Then I thought it was so crowded due to being one of the biggest in Mongolia. But I was wrong, most libraries are full of students eager to study at the weekends.
Although it is, on the whole, good news to be heard, there is not enough space and students who come late are not able to enter in spite of having membership card. I think a number of students of a university and a high school tends to be sitting in those libraries. But government officials have just appeared to be decreasing budget of libraries because of global economic recession. However, we must reduce to go through this hard time, we shouldn’t have reduced budget of education. Instead of doing so, we should build more libraries where students can concentrate and be provided with necessary books.
I believe that after few decades our generation will come into power in Mongolia. Mongolian future will be whether brighter or not depends on good education environment.
