As a teenager, life appears to be full of fun and most teenagers are always eager to try new things which mostly result into facing severe consequences of our actions. As a teenager, we get involved in several nonchalant and wayward activities such as smoking, drinking alcoholism, vandalism and lots of immoral attitudes which often degenerate into an act of hooliganism and thuggery. For these reasons, it will be of greater advantage to familiarize ourselves with the effect of these actions to our health, career, future ambition and the community at large.
Nevertheless, most of these activities continually increase everyday out of ignorance and peer pressure which could have been possibly overcome through a joint effort on awareness of this syndrome. Regardless of efforts made by parents, guidance and government in curbing this menace, the issue still remains paramount in the heart of the teens. It is however empirical that other strategies must be applied and delegated in orienting the teens on how to live an healthy and safe life style.
WHAT NEXT?
* Who are we to blame for these actions?
* Is change possible?
* How can we make the change?
* Who will take the responsibility for change?
* Can these problems be totally eradicated?
* How will the future look like without a solution to these problems?
These and more questions needs to be answered before progress can be made.
I think you have raised some very good questions here, issues that call for some introspection for the society as a whole. Such issues are very sensitive for young people and need to be dealt with by adults without being judgemental. Its very easy to dismiss such problems by stereotyping them but very difficult to go into the cause and effect part of it
