Youth Problems    

       

People say that youth is the most wonderful period in a person's life. Others are sure that young people face too many problems nowadays.
Many people are convinced that youth and happiness are synonyms. But an Arabian proverb says: "Youth is a kind of illness cured only by the passing years".
I have always wondered why many people believe that youth is the most wonderful period in a person's life. From the psychological angle, youth is a very complicated period when young people are undergoing the painful transition from childhood to independence. They are facing psychological problems that may cause aggression and lead to the rejection of adult values and experience. Socially, many young people suffer from such problems as poverty, unemployment, low incomes, or breakdown of the family. So alcohol and drugs may become a kind of psychological or emotional escape for young people.
However, it would be wrong to say that youth is the most awful period in a person's life. It is the time of parties, dates and entertainment. What is more, youth is the period of many happy moments, thrilling experiences and wonderful discoveries. Young people don't usually have as many responsibilities and duties as adults do. They don't have to work and they can spend their time on studies, hobbies and entertainment. Youth is the time to make friends and to fall in love. Besides, young people are usually active, enthusiastic and know what they want.
All in all, youth is a period which may be very complicated and happy at the same time. It is impossible to protect young people from all problems and difficulties that they have to overcome. However, it is necessary to support them and to help them use this period fruitfully.

 

Generation gap has always been a topical problem. Some people believe that parents and their children will never learn to understand each other. Others are convinced that generation gap can disappear.
There have always been great differences between people of a younger generation and their elders because of their different experiences, opinions, habits and behavior. Nowadays differences between the two generations grew significantly, particularly with respect to such matters as musical tastes, fashion, drug use, culture and politics.
In my opinion, you will hardly find a teenager satisfied with his or her parents. Neither will you find parents not grumbling over "younger generation" of their children. Pop music, ultra-modern clothes, noisy parties and children's wish to have more freedom become a stumbling-block on the way of mutual understanding between adults and teenagers. So it seems that in most families parents don't understand their children and children don't understand their parents.
On the other hand, the situation is not as bad as it seems to be. There are a lot of families where parents love and understand their children and help them cope with all difficulties. Many adults and teenagers have respect for each other's point of view. So it is possible to bridge the gap between parents and their children. To my mind, communication is the best way to solve the problem. The more time adults and teenagers spend together, the better they understand each other. Parents and children should talk and discuss different things. Besides, it is very important for both adults and teenagers to be selfless, patient and sincere.
To conclude, the generation gap can disappear. If we are a little wiser, we will find a key to the heart of our parents.

 

Many teenagers enjoy being in a collective and are united in different subcultures. Some youngsters, however, think that subcultures are for nothing.
Most teenagers are sensitive to what their friends think of them and they are ready to do everything to be like their peers. So many youngsters experiment with minor delinquency, inappropriate behavior and rebellion.
Sometimes young people express their protest forming different groups and clubs. They join these clubs according to their interests: music, style of clothes, racial views and so on. For example, the Skinheads are known for their intolerance to immigrants. They can be very dangerous as they attack and kill people of other nationalities. Adolescents often join a juvenile delinquent group to improve their status and to raise their self-esteem. There are various groups and subcultures in which deviant behaviour and violence play an important role and increase a youth's status. To my mind, the existence of subcultures leads to the increase in criminality. I strongly feel that if you want to protest, you must do it peacefully without doing harm to other people and to yourself.
On the other hand, the situation is not as bad as it may seem to be. There are many teenagers who don't belong to any subcultures. They are not involved in violent or criminal behavior and they spend much time and effort on their studies and part-time work. Such youngsters know what they want and feel that they are responsible for their future.
To sum up, young people's lives and happiness depend on our society: on the political and social situation in the country, on our culture and morality. I think that if adults pay more attention to teenagers' upbringing and education, there will be fewer subcultures and consequently fewer crimes.

 

Some people say that the main reason for juvenile delinquency is the family. Others believe that there are many other factors that negatively influence young people's development.
Nowadays the problem of juvenile delinquency is becoming more complicated and universal. In many countries rates of youth crime have dramatically risen. But why are more and more youngsters involved in criminal and violent behaviour?
There are a lot of reasons for juvenile delinquency. I think that first and foremost, the family is to blame. Many children and adolescents are neglected by their parents and some of them suffer humiliation, abuse and violence at home. The number of mothers and fathers deprived of their parental rights is increasing every year. Children who do not receive adequate parental supervision are more likely to engage in criminal activities, to truant from school and to have delinquent friends. Wishing to prove their maturity and independence some young people commit various offences, run away from home and use violence against their peers.
Other reasons for juvenile delinquency include poverty, unemployment, low incomes among the young, ineffective educational systems and so on. Many of the crimes committed by young people are related to excessive alcohol use and drug abuse. Besides, young people's behaviour is greatly influenced by their friends, neighbourhood and adults as well as by the social, economic, political and cultural conditions prevailing in a country.
To sum up, there are quite a lot of factors that may have a negative influence on youngsters' behaviour. I strongly feel that the prevention of juvenile delinquency is very important. More attention should be paid to leisure and youth development activities that prevent young people from committing crimes.

 

Some young people believe that while at school they should concentrate on studying; others think that working part-time has many advantages.
To work or not to work? That is the question which many young people ask themselves. What advantages and disadvantages do part-time jobs have?
Nowadays a lot of young people are happy to get some job, for the money or the experience. They work after classes, on weekends, or during vacations. To my mind, even part-time jobs can help them pick up new skills, which they can develop. Working as babysitters, waiters, cashiers or shop-assistants young people learn to be industrious, persistent, communicative and to value time and money. What is more, part-time jobs help develop such values as initiative, self-discipline, punctuality, practicality and many others. Besides, a lot of young people prefer earning money to asking their parents for some.
However, some teenagers and their parents are sure that work will interfere with their studies and may lead to falling grades. Besides, some young people think that it is too early for them to work. All they need is to enjoy their carefree lives. In some families young people don't work because their parents are rich enough and they do not need extra money they can earn. But I still believe that work is a valuable experience for teenagers.
To conclude, it's up to you to decide whether to work part-time or to concentrate on studying. Anyway, I think that work experience can help young people develop the skills which employers look for and realize their own abilities.
