Nowadays, schools in various parts of the world report that students tend to have behavioural problems. Unfortunately, this will make it harder for schools to educate students as problematic behaviours are likely to interfere with the education process.
There are some reasons as to why students behave inappropriately. Firstly, the way society works these days affect students’ behavioural patterns. For instance, parents might spend more time at work than at home and as a result, children lack parental guidance, not knowing how they are supposed to behave. This, in turn, is likely to cause them to have behavioural problems. Secondly, such behaviours might be caused by external influences, such as internet and television. Students, for example, might watch TV shows that use a lot of violence. Therefore, they are likely to imitate in real life by being more aggressive and using more violence. After all, students, especially teenagers, are easily affected by external parties.
In order to counter such problem, teachers should be friendly while still maintaining their professionalism. By being friendly, teachers might be able to understand students’ point of views and thus devise the right strategies to connect with them. This is because students are more likely to listen to teachers if they feel they can relate to the teachers and that the teachers understand them. Furthermore, it is also important to handle students patiently. This is really crucial since rough treatments might worsen their behaviours or encourage them to play truant. It is, therefore, wiser to be patient and guide students gradually to be well-behaved rather than using force to do so.
In conclusion, behavioural problems result from the way society works these days (e.g. lack of parental guidance) and external parties, such as bad influences from TV shows. Nevertheless, by understanding students’ views and guiding them patiently, students can gradually change and behave in a more appropriate manner.

It is important for people to take risks, both in their professional lives and their personal lives. Do you think the advantages of taking risks outeigh the disadvantages?It is often argued that taking risks in both professional and personal lives is essential. While there are potential disadvantages to risk-taking, I believe the benefits far outweigh them. Risks can not only prepare individuals for an unpredictable future but also foster a fearless mindset, both of which are crucial for personal and professional growth.
To begin with, taking risks opens up opportunities that can lead to a more prosperous future. The uncertainties of later stages in life mean that no one can predict what will happen. By embracing risks, people increase their chances of achieving success, even if the outcome is not guaranteed. For instance, if an individual decides to invest a portion of their earnings, despite the inherent risk of losing money, the potential return could be significant and life-changing. Without taking this risk, the money might otherwise be spent on non-essential activities, such as dining out or entertainment, which offer no long-term financial benefits. Similarly, in personal life, starting a new relationship involves the risk of emotional vulnerability. While there are no guarantees that a relationship will last or bring happiness, taking that leap often leads to growth and meaningful connections.
Furthermore, a fearless mindset, essential for both personal and professional success, is developed through risk-taking. People who consistently take risks are often more resilient and better equipped to handle challenges. Many successful leaders, for example, built their careers by confronting obstacles head-on rather than avoiding them. These individuals learned early on that facing uncertainties strengthens their problem-solving abilities and enables them to achieve their goals. The well-known saying "no risk, no gain" holds true, as those willing to take calculated risks often reap the rewards, developing a mindset that is critical for long-term success.
Admittedly, taking risks does carry the potential for failure or loss. There is always a chance that an investment may not yield returns or that a relationship may not work out. However, these potential drawbacks are outweighed by the personal growth and opportunities that come from stepping out of one's comfort zone. Without risk, people would remain stagnant, unable to adapt to the unpredictable nature of life. It is through risk-taking that individuals learn valuable lessons, regardless of the immediate outcome.
