The Japanese Occupation had brought changes to the teenagers.
Before the Japanese Occupation, teenagers were required to go to school and increase their knowledge with their own specific language. But after the Japanese Occupation, Teenagers were still required to go to school, but they were forced to learn the Japanese and sang the Japanese National song. At the start of of the day, teenagers needed to bow 90 degree toward the North-East as that was the direction of the Japanese Emperor in Tokyo. Their teachers had changed to Japanese teacher and they would teach them basic Japanese words. Sometimes the teacher would give them some comic books which were talked about the Japanese soldier giving things to people in order to brainwash the teenagers and make them to think Japanese were good to Singapore.
Whenever the teenagers saw the Japanese soldier, they would need to bow 90 degree to show their respect and loyalty to the Japanese, as they thought to themselves were representing the Japanese Emperor. If people do not bow to them, it shows that they do not respect the Japanese Emperor.
Then after the Japanese Occupation, the teenagers who had suffered from the war, they consumed their time to learn the Japanese language. When the war ended, they already too old to go back the school again, so they needed to look for a job for their survival.

Japanese Occupation did brought changes to the lives of teenagers in Singapore. One of the changes would be food shortage. Before the Japanese Occupation, Singaporeans have enough food to survive and were not scared if one day they ran out of food. During the Japanese Occupation, everything changed. The people, which includes the elderly and teenagers, were all suffering from shortage of food and the teenagers were maturing at that point of time and were growing rapidly so they must have enough food in order to help them grow. The evidence is " The average family lived on a diet of broken rice made into porridge - with sweet potato or tapioca to make it more filing- a few fragments of salt fish an or ikan bilis." This shows that the teenagers had a lack of food because they had to use little rice to cook porridge for the whole family and only salted fish and ikan bilis for dishes. The second evidence is " In school fields, children tend to vegetable plots. The locals are encouraged to plant their own food and be self-sufficient." This shows that the teenagers led a poor life as they have no money to buy the vegetables that they are encouraged to grow by themselves. During the Japanese Occupation, food was scarce and they had rationing to control the amount of food left as most of the food were given to the Japanese army.
