Nowadays there is an increase in social problems involving young people because more parents spent time at work than with their children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In

this

day and age, an increasing number of social problems caused by teenagers can be directly related to their

parents

who spend lesser

time

with them than at work. From my perspective, I strongly agree with

this

statement because I believe that there are some main motives involving

this

phenomenon.

To begin

with, the social problems of young people often result from the absence of their

parents

. The current economic condition of society pushes both

parents

to pursue professional careers to ensure better life prospects and educational facilities for their

children

.

Thus

, the

parents

are left with no

time

to guild their kids about ethenic norms. When left alone,

children

may spend their

time

watching TV or surfing the Internet. They may

also

make friends outside of their social network.

Such

friendships can push the

children

into wrongdoing. They may develop bad habits

such

as smoking, drinking, and substance abuse.

Moreover

, the number of teenage pregnancies increased every year.

This

social problem comes from a lack of parental supervision.

For example

, teenagers these days have their love from an early age. Because the

parents

spend most of their

time

at their workplaces, it results in their

children

lacking guidance as well as contraceptive methods.

Therefore

,

instead

of working to sustain the needs of their child, they tend to forget the true meaning of care that their

children

need from their

parents

. In conclusion, I totally believe that inadequate parental guidance is only one of the reasons for social problems.

Parents

must pay more attention to their

children

to anticipate the

children

's behaviour affecting from societies until it is too late.
