Teenage problems are very serious today. Teenagers are people from the age of 12 to the age of 21 and most of them are still students. We are able to see a lot of problems concerning teenagers on the pages of our daily newspapers such as fighting, public stuff getting destroyed, black mailing and more. These kinds of problems happen everyday and everywhere without control and this matter poses a danger to the society and to the country itself. Teenage time is the time where they learn the most and the fastest. These is a very essential time for them to build up their personalities and their thinking towards something. Teenagers are also able to differentiate good from bad at these time and the people which they are together with are very crucial. So what are the problems of teenagers nowadays?
One of the most common problems for teenagers is vandalism. Things such as public phones, tables, chairs and windows are those that are commonly seen destroyed. Teenagers do not realize the importance of these things and so destroy without feeling anything. This kind of problems are mostly cause by the lack of discipline and because those stuff do not belong to them. Besides that, teenagers get emotional easily and do not have the ability to control their own emotion thus destroying these stuff provoked by their own anger to release their stress. Some may think that by destroying, they are able to show power to the others and act brave. And so, teenagers should be closely watched by the people around them.
Besides that, teenagers are always facing pressure. Let it be pressure from their parents for them to do good in their studies or pressure from their teacher. This causes teenagers to be very busy with their work and do not have enough time to spend their doing other activity that might benefit them. As an example, teenagers get very stress whenever there is a important coming up ahead and might stay up late until midnight and this might cause teenagers to get sick. Some might not be able to cope with all of the expectation from their parents and teacher and when they fail to achieve the expectation, teenagers would have low confidence towards themselves. This might lead to teenagers thinking of suiciding or running away from home because they thought that this would solve their problems once and for all but these kind of actions would only make things worse for the people around them and to the country. Parents and teachers should know how to arrange time for teenagers to have fun and time for teenagers to study thus avoiding any kind of unwanted acts from happening.
Smoking is known worldwide for its negative impact towards smokers but why smoking is so common among teenagers nowadays? We are able to see teenagers walking around with cigarette on their hand in almost every part of the world. Smoking is addictive and a very bad habits for a teenagers because smoking poses as threat to their healths and is a waste of money. Teenagers tend to smoke at a very young age and would bring along this habits when they grow because they see smoking as a common everyday activity for them. Though they know the consequences of smoking such as lung cancer and dry cough caused by the carcinogens present in the cigarettes, teenagers still continue to smoke. This is probably because teenagers are easily influence by their friends and the lack of attention from their own parents so they smoke to attract attention of others. Teenagers do not realise that smoking causes themselves to be easily tempered and is also a cause of headache. So, parents should be more alert and pay more attention to their children as to nurture them to be a person of good habits in the future and free from the harm of smoking cigarettes.
Other than that, teenagers have the problem of being bullied. Bullying can involve physical and mental. Problems of bully occurs mostly at the school area involving a student getting bullied by a group of bullies. As an example, those students that are consider rich and weak are always the victims for the bullies because they are easily frighten and do not dare to tell other people about it. These students would be asked to give money and when they refuse, they are either hit or mocked by the bullies. This would cause them to have bruises or mentally affected and this is fatal because this may leave a mark on the victims life thus affecting his or her future if help is not seek immediately. Student should be more aware of their surrounding as to protect themselves from bullies and report to others about their problems so that action can be taken.
As a conclusion, every teenagers have problems with either their studies or their personal life. The way to solve teenagers problems depends on how they react to it and how they solve it. We as citizen of Malaysia, should be concern with the people around us and to provide help to them when they need it. Teenagers are the most important asset to a country because they are the building block for the country in the future.
