 that the juvenile had to bear at a young age.
For instance
, the constant bickering from their parents would put a great amount of pressure on the offspring which could cause a sense of rage and would often result in violent acts toward other people and crimes during their teenage years. People surrounding the
child
 would often neglect these early stages of unstable mentality

 negligence.
Therefore
 it is important for adults to be aware of these actions to prevent any
further
 damage. The second cause of
this
 case would be the early exposure of violent content that would trigger the
child
's mind.
For example
, violent content would include TV shows and video games. The negative contents that a juvenile would consume would affect their mind into having adventurous thoughts and they would act upon them. One of the solutions an adult could give is to limit the amount of exposure and to keep an eye out for any suspicious behaviours the
child
 might have.
To sum up
this
 case, crime rates are increasing and juvenile delinquency is one of the contributing cases. Adults often neglect the early stages of the symptoms and
therefore
 increase the number. People should be more aware and start to expose their kids to a more healthy and better environment.
