I believe it is important for teenagers to pay attention to world news because it helps them understand the world; that the world is not perfect and that there are: unethical crimes, natural disasters in different parts of the world, and poverty. Teenagers can see the world problems people are suffering in by emotion, tragic images, and in video so they can be in the shoes of other people. The world is changing everyday and teenagers are the first ones to experience the worldly problems because they come from a generation that is the birth of electronics. Teenagers can witnesses society in world news headlines. Hope this helps :)
