I understand the writer needs an introduction to the article, but F everything about starting with this:

"Most teenagers will find any reason under the sun not to do their homework."

No most won't and stop repeating it.

The writer was, at some point in his life, a spoiled teenager. Most of my friends and other teenage students near me, (By the way, I'm from India, 15) love to do their homework, as, it's challenging and we feel something after completing it. Same is the case for most of the teenagers in other parts of my country, nearly everyone does their homework properly.

It's the BBC, so I guess the writer is from the UK. In which case, she is propogating the "I'm an idiot and I can't be bovered to work" attitude that seems prevalent among some of the youth there. Shame really, and from the BBC too.

Yeah, we sure buy this...

I am from India. I find the remark quite plausible.
