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

the 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

the 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

and guiding them patiently, students can gradually change and behave in a more appropriate manner.
