4.Juvenile crime rates are rising all round the world. How can this trend be counteracted?
As I only have to write on 2 paragraphs, I will exclude the opening and just focus on two main points...
Teach them to be appreciative of life and what they have. Teenagers nowadays are fortunate, while we are enjoying the things like computers, nice clothes we have, in another part of the world, people are dying, from aids, from illness, from malnutrition. People are worrying about having no roof over their head, no food to eat, no money to spend. That's reality. But humans are selfish and are always not satisfied with things we have, so, teenagers commit crimes to display their displeasure on something, for the fun. Furthermore, being still teenagers, we are too immature to think about consequences we have to face, and do not yet have a sense of responsibility. Nothing to worry about, and i mean serious things like financial burden, housing, family and social responsibility. So, being unaware of so many things going on, they commit crime. Thus, we have to teach them to appreciate what they have, think about how fortunate they are, and how they should be responsible and not do things without thinking. They should not make others feel low or degrade them to make themselves feel happy. SICK IDEOLOGY. Put them in a place where they are deprived of the basic necessities of life, and let them have a feel of how fortunate they actually are, and how they should show their appreciation to this gift that god has given to them by doing good things and not hurt others. They will not commit crime and risk losing all things in life if they appreciate what they have. Besides taking away basic neccesities of life, put them in a place where they have to fend for themselves, where they have to be responsible for their own life. Seriously, instil a sense of responsibility in them. If you appreciate something, you won't want to do wrong things and risk losing it. If you are responsible and mature enough to think about the repercussions of your actions, you will not do things to hurt others, your family and yourself.
Next, the usual stuffs like family. Parents should provide a nice environment for living for the child. Pleasant environment for living, and not expose the child to violence. Show them care and concern they need, and put in more effort to understand them. They are still young and learning, so parents have to be understanding and show emotional support to them. Let them know that they are not alone and there's always someone for them. Why? I mean, if they have a good environment to be in, they will not develop tendencies for violence and the want to inflict pain on others, learn not to take things for granted, and earn what they want themselves and not steal etc... If parents do not show understanding or support, teenagers will turn to bad companies. Or if they confide in friends with same problem, with low maturity, they will be led astray. Teenagers are growing and learning, thus, it is important to teach them right from wrong. During this process of growing and learning, it is their most vulnerable period of time. Thus, it is important to be quick to help them when they have troubles, make them understand that crime is not the way out to solve problems. Make them feel that they can always turn to someone when they have troubles, so that they will not turn to bad companies. Family plays a very important role. Teenagers are fragile. If they are let alone to think of things their own way, they will not know even if they are wrong, so, they need to be guided. That is where family comes in. Family must also teach them resposibility in life like mentioned above.
Lastly, we have things like how media should promote proper set of values and not show violence etc...Promote a healthy hobby and games to pass time, so they will not be bored and commit crime. Education system plays a part too.
Basically, teenagers have a choice. However, being vulnerable at such a young age, they need people to guide them and support them. So, parents, family and friends, show support!!! Teenagers' vulnerabilty makes it more important for the emotinal aspects of them to be cared for, so people should not feel that teenagers who commit crimes are bad and serve them right. If they are brought up with the correct ideology, they won't commit crime. BUT still......teenagers, don't let this be your excuse for committing crime, cause YOU HAVE A CHOICE!!! The choice of committing crime still lies in you. ------------peter parker in spiderman 3 says "you have a choice", believe him :)
