Nowadays, the crowd at shopping malls are dominated by youngsters since there are more advanced facilities that are offered. As a result, a lot of young people tend to spend excessive amount of their free time at shopping centers which is not universally accepted. In this regard, I strongly disagree about the negative impression of young generations who spend most of their spare time at shopping malls because these places can be a place for them to refresh their minds and an alternative way to improve their health.
To begin with, young people are filled with lots of school assignments which possibly weaken their well-being. Strolling around the malls is an alternative to refresh their minds through its entertainment platforms. Watching movies in cinema and playing various games in recreation center can temporarily distract themselves from the hecticness of their daily activities. Additionally, malls also offer a safe space for youth to meet up and get along with their peers so it can strengthen social bond as well as obtaining social support that is much needed for their well-being.
What is more is that health can be gained through doing various activities at malls. Not many people are aware that it requires a lot of walking to be able to cover all of the tenants that guests intend to visit. This circumstance indirectly enables them to do exercise in comfort simultaneously and increase number of steps that leads to a healthier lifestyle. It is also worth noting that most of mall developers have accommodated a lot of gym facilities along with its intensive health training programs that are accessible for the customers which are frequently used by young people.
To draw the conclusion, youngsters who like to spend much of their free time at shopping malls cannot be generalized as a bad habit since there are many advantages through its productive activities that can be acquired such as mind refreshment and a place to boost physical health. As an enthusiast of mental health awareness, the ‘detrimental’ stigma should not be marked into youth who go to malls a lot so they can freely explore the places that are beneficial for their physical and mental health.
