Why do you think teenage crimes have increased?

I point out two reasons why the number of teenage crimes has been increasing. First, TV game is a primary reason. Although it has become more popular than ever, there are a lot of problems in playing it. One problem is that it can contain violence. Watching violent scene may cause children to learn this kind of behavior. Second, family situation today affects teenagers. For example, children whose parents have got divorced have fewer opportunities to communicate with their parents. When a child feels lonely or isolated, they could behave bad to draw other people’s attention.

Yes, that's right. In essay writing assignments, try to keep 'I' out of it; just state the facts or opinions.
