The crime rate among teenagers has increased dramatically in many countries. Discuss some possible reasons for this increase and suggest solutions.

In the past few decades, the number of crimes committed by teenagers has been intensely increasing.

the world. In

this

essay, we will have a quick look at how it has happened and what can be done to tackle the problems. One reason is the breakdown of the nuclear family since there are higher divorce rates. Children raised by single-

moms

or single-dads might deal with a lot of stress and often be made fun of by their classmates. Boys are more likely to commit crimes than girls. Not receiving enough attention and especially the male role model

their dads can lead boys astray. Another point worth noticing is bad family background. No change can be made to

this

as backgrounds have a huge impact on our behaviour. A child being born in a family where his uncle has been in jail a couple of times might not concern about it while a child from a great family background will consider it reckless. Another factor is the lack of things to do. Those busy with studies, extra-curriculum will not give a thought to do something above the law.

On the other hand

and housework tend to be bored,

, they will venture unusual things as their entertainment, which are often crimes.

Besides

, another reason leading to

this

situation is the lack of communication, care, and supervision. Adults are often up to their necks in work that they barely have

time

to talk to their children. These kids will feel like their parents value their work over them or they are unloved, unwanted, which is untrue. These negative thoughts can lead them to the urge of committing crimes to revenge their parents for having neglected them. What’s more, youngsters usually fall prey to action movies or video games, which glorify violence.

As a result

, teenagers think it is fashionable to be a criminal.

Lastly

, we have to mention the influences of peers. Children develop a relationship with friends as they spend lots of

school

. Undesirable friends will make a gang,

, smoking weed… If a student is a part of the gang, sooner or later he will be influenced by his mates. To tackle

this

issue, parents and the government have to make an effort.

Firstly

, parents should avoid splitting up by not having an affair, building up a stronger relationship. They might as

.

This

way, they can advise their kids not to hang out with mischievous students, say “NO” to harmful behaviours.

Moreover

, children will believe that they are important and looked after despite their parents’ busy schedules. The Government can have greater punishments and make parents take responsibility for what teenagers have caused. To conclude, it is not uncommon nowadays for the youth to commit crimes, still, there are some available solutions family and government can
