Recent figures show an increase in violent crime among youngsters under the age of 18. Some psychologists claim that the basic reasons for this is that children these days are not getting social and emotional learning they need from parents and...

There is growing concern about the increase in juvenile crime. Many people assume that the primary reason is lack of care from parents and teachers.I somewhat agree with this idea and in this essay I will dig deeper in this worrying trend.

It is true that parents and teachers contribute the rise in the number of young people committing violet crime.Parents nowadays tend to work overtime to supplement the family's income so they are frequently absent form home. Lack of emotional support and parents' instruction make immature children feel isolated and neglected. They have to make their own choices and apparently it is hard to avoid impulsive decisions that may negatively affect their lives.The increase in juvenile delinquency partly results from teachers. There are too many students in a class and it is nearly impossible to take notice of every students' performance.

Apart from schools and families, many external factors lead to the rise in violent crime among youngsters .Children's early exposure to TV is the root cause when thousands of movies contain violent scenes which are not suitable for children. In addition, the availability of action games like Warcraft,Cs go also results in the tendency of behaving violently in children nowadays. Furthermore, due to lack of parents' controls and instructions, children are easily induced by spoilt kids and may end up in gang.

In conclusion, take into consideration all the things I mentioned above, I somewhat agree that lack of parents' and teachers' attention and support leads to the rise in violent crime rate among youngsters but it is also due to many other factors such as early exposure to TV and violent games. If parents spend more time with their kids by dining with them or having family hangout at the weekend, then in best hopes, this worrying trend will be improved.

Thank you very much.
