In some countries, there are many social problems involving teenagers. Some people say this is because parents spend much of their time at work and not at home, do you agree or disagree?

Some individuals, in certain countries, believe that there are so many social issues that involve young

 unsupervised will have less respect for their

 and other grown-ups as
this
 will have a lot of negative effects and could potentially lead to where these
kids
 end up doing criminal activities. A recent study in Norway has shown that younger teenagers that spend more
time
 without having a parent around have a higher chance of joining a gang or even end up in jail than those that have their
parents
 present at home.
Last
 but not least, it is the amount of exposure to social media when the young generation is alone.
This
 will give sexual predators a larger chance of grooming these
kids
 on social media since they are left unsupervised for longer periods of
time
. In a lot of countries in Europe,
parents
 are facing these issues where children who have access to the internet have a much higher risk of being approached by paedophiles especially when they are left on the internet without a parent present. In conclusion,I once again agree with
this
 statement that children that are left alone have more social problems than those
kids
 that have supervision.
Therefore
, there is better for these individuals to have a parent that has the capability to spend more
time
 at home.
