Levels of depression and antisocial behavior in children have increased dramatically in modern societies. This situation has led many people to believe that childhood itself is in crisis. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view?

Nowadays, the rate of depression and antisocial

character

in the younger generation has reached an all-time high in modern communities.

This

event has made people think there is a crisis in the general personality of a child. I agree with

this

view because most times

children

's needs are not provided with enough attention as before. On one hand,

children

tend to be isolated and depressed because of several factors. The busy schedule of a number of

parents

these days has affected the

character

development of their

children

.

As a result

of loneliness,

children

get depressed and isolated from the public.

Furthermore

,

parents

are like role models to their offspring,

therefore

, when they are unavailable it makes

children

lack confidence in themselves which in turn can lead to depression.Recent studies have proven that

parents

with jobs that require the most of their time, raise sad kids with co-existing disabilities. Take ,

for example

, my aunt Gina works 18 hours a day in the hospital,

this

has affected her son's confidence, resulting in him not being able to make friends in school.

On the other hand

, a group of people believe that controlling the usage of technology by

children

will in turn prevent any form of negative development in their

character

.

This

is because an increasing number of

children

become depressed and isolated because of their experience on the internet.

As a consequence

, they become so attached to technological devices which do not benefit their mental health. It's been observed that controlling how

children

use gadgets makes them focus more on coexisting in the real world.

For example

, if a parent makes time for a child to visit parks and fun events, it will make them more outgoing. In conclusion, the younger generation possesses a developing mind that can

also

be distracted. In my opinion,

parents

should prioritise the needs of their

children

. I suggest working fewer hours will help

parents

focus more on building the

character

of their

children

.
