Nowadays, it is inevitable to see teenage violence cases on the news every week or even every day. The young generation, which may be inexperienced in this complicated world, is more prone to be affected than any other generations. Only ten years ago, people were still unaware of teenage computer gaming addiction which has caused a lot of them to suffer academically and mentally. It is therefore not amazing to see that many young people have more problems than adults.
Some people may argue that living in a comfortable world with modern facilities, internet connection as well as professional care, young people may have only a few problems. These really help some teenagers to feel better and in a more secure way. In fact, many of them take it for granted. They use computers to play game till addictions, use internet to chat hours on end. Most of the teenagers do not know how to look for professional help. A research showed that 90% of young people tend to solve problems by themselves, which they may regret in the future. Modern facilities may result in loss of social interactions and love of nature as many young people like to stay at home more to enjoy their comfortable rooms.
In addition, nowadays, parents are usually busier with works and often return home late to earn enough money to support the family, leaving their children along and exposed to many kinds of attacks. It is not strange to see families with both parents working out and returning home after 8p.m. every day. During that long period of time, young children are alone to decide what they can do without parental guidance. In facts, 60 out of 100 teenagers play excess computer games right after returning from school. This also creates a distance between family members day by day. Family members with both parents working out usually do not have anything to share and talk as the members with only one working parent do. Thus, problems and depressions are more likely to happen with those young people.
Also, there are many more factors that may potentially or directly affect young generation: fashion, trends, violence movie, computer games, online predators, pornography and many more, making them vulnerable. It is inevitable to interact with these problems that a modern life brings. However, many young people tend to be immersed in them than the adults do. At the end of the day, they are more affected. For example, a violence movie does not leave many impacts on adults as they may experienced or seen it in real life. Yet, for young people especially teenagers, it may create an strong impression of violence. Finally, they see that violence is a considerable way of solving problems. With the boom of internet connection, everything is easy to get, thus leaving young people prone to those predators.
Lastly, most young people are immature to cope with many problems evolving between adolescence and adulthood. They easily fall down or fail to escape from a simple trouble which may lead to many more if they cannot solve properly and maturely. There are many dead cases of pregnant teenagers, being afraid of social crisis, go to many abortion centres which did not have enough facilities and professions. Most of them cannot control themselves and are not responsible for their lives. They do thing without considering consequences most do not want to approach advices from more experienced people as they are scared of public. Hence, as problems evolve, they may face numerous troubles and soon be depressed.
In conclusion, young people are inexperienced and very prone to attacks to many factors from the outer environment. We must try our best to help young people overcome the problems they have although it it not easy and straight away. Moreover, young people should interact more to become mature physically and mentally.
