Behavior in schools is getting worse. explain the causes of this problem and suggest some possible solutions.

The

behaviour

of a child can mirror a significant scope of who they are as a person. Many, including myself, believe that youth nowadays reflect a higher proportion of negative

behaviour

, especially in school settings. In

this

essay, I will discuss possible reasons for

this

violent attitude, while providing two possible solutions that I believe will reduce the severity of the situation greatly. The biggest difference between

kids

in the past and present is their access to technology. Among many reasons, the negative influence of

media

and lack of parental guidance can stand out much more significantly as for reasons why teenagers in the present act the way they do. Social

media

and coming of age movies tend to portray the bully as cool and popular.

This

delivers a negative message and promotes violence as it tells these growing

children

that being nice is a characteristic of the lower social class when in reality being humble is the greatest quality of all. Due to an increasingly busy lifestyle,

parents

find it challenging to spend time with their

children

.

This

can lead to a lack of guidance of these

children

, increasing their risk of going astray. Adolescent teens seek constant validation and attention,

therefore

when their parent does not provide

this

sufficiently, they tend to behave badly in school to regain

this

lost attention. Despite all these causes, there are indeed pathways to reduce the negative consequences.

Firstly

,

parents

should monitor the type of

media

their

kids

are exposed to. It is the

parents

’ responsibility to teach their

kids

why what is portrayed in the

media

is wrong. For an instance, when watching a movie that glorifies the bully, the

parents

can take action to explain how bullying can hurt other feelings and impact in a negative way while enlightening their

children

about core values

such

as compassion. Another possible solution is teaching effective communication in school as well as encouraging students to participate in campaigns that help develop essential skills

such

as empathy. Research reflects that the primary reason for the rise of many conflicts is lack of communication and

hence

by developing

such

skills and learning to see problems from other’s perspectives can help

kids

understand other’s actions and

hence

reducing violent

behaviour

. To conclude, the way one acts in certain situations can directly reflect their personality and values.

Although

media

and parental neglect can negatively encourage a kid’s bad

behaviour

, it is not avoidable. My

parents

and teachers helping

kids

develop various skills that help them tackle different situations with minimum negative consequences from a young age, I believe that majority of the worse

behaviour

experienced in schools can be minimized.
