Recent figures show an increase in violent crime among youngsters under the age of 18. Some psychologists claim that the basic reason for this is that children these days are not getting the social and emotional learning they need from parents and teachers. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Juvenile delinquency is one of the most pressing predicaments within society, which could be counted as a byproduct of other social issues. Currently, the number of these crimes is increasing, and experts believe that the profound awareness of those who are involved in raising children is the reason. I agree with

point of view, but it is noteworthy to bear in mind that there could be at least another reason for

complication. The prominent role of parents and teachers in moral burgeoning is indisputable. Naturally, mothers and fathers are responsible for cultivating their offspring, but because of the structure of human societies, part of

this

cultivation is delegated to other instructors by social norms. Take learning communication skills as an example. Children mainly learn the basics of

ability at home, while supplementary education is the school’s obligation.

Moreover

, Children, especially in the early years of life, are mostly motivated by emotions. It means that the sentiments they receive from their surroundings shape their mental structure. Since parents and teachers are the foremost personalities in their surroundings, they have a significant influence on them, and they are accountable for all the defects in their subconscious.

For example

, if they blame their child when he feels distressed,

instead

of emotionally supporting their child, they will send the message that he is not adequate, which can make the child aggressive towards himself and society. Having said that, the influence of the media

such

as social networks and television on children's opinions should

be taken into account.

That is

to say, they make it appealing for children to do anti-moral acts like using drugs. To be more specific, kids who grow up watching TV shows in which people killed intriguingly, may think

is a fascinating way of life.

Thus

, aggressive behaviour is shaped by what they see. To sum up, despite the fact parents' lack of knowledge is the main reason for juvenile crime, the role of the media is important in

regard. I believe that if parents and teachers were trained enough to raise children, not only children would not be involved in crime, but

also

other psychological problems would be eradicated.
