Nowadays,violence rates have been rising among young people .
Although
this
 tendency may lead to negative results , the number of crimes committed by the young is growing dramatically. I strongly believe that
this
 problem has certain causes and can be solved by taking some special measures . There are several reasons that cause the increase in crime levels among youthly people .
First
, the major cause is insufficient parental surveillance .
In other words
, when parents do not provide adequate supervision to their children, they will probably be more exposed to brutality because they are not mature enough and incompetent to make useful decisions for their own well-being .
For example
 , teenagers who suffer from a lack of parental control , tend to make friends with the wrong people that validate their aggressive behaviours and criminal activities .
Second
 ,
Media
 influence is one of the major causes of
this
 problem . Being exposed to violence in
media
 tools
such
 as television and social
media
 can lead youngers to act in an aggressive way .
For instance
 , researchers show that young humans , who usually playing violent video games ,tend to develop aggressive thoughts and behaviours. There are several approaches that should be taken into consideration to protect teenagers from crime .
Firstly
, families should make more effort to control and look after their children's activities in order to protect them to make the wrong decisions and choose the right path .
Secondly
 ,Governments should impose strict regulations on
media
 in order to minimize the level of brutality .
As a result
 , most businesses would be more responsible and promote only healthy products for youngers .
This
 would enable young humans to choose the most suitable and reliable products with greater trust and confidence . In conclusion , I take the view that the main causes of
this
 issue are poor parental supervision and
media
 influence , but there are several effective approaches to solve
this
 problem .

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
