To some observers, teens today may seem spoiled compared to those of earlier times. The reality, however, is different. Young people are under many types of stress. Peer pressure, changing family conditions, mobility of families and unemployment are just a few reasons why some young people may try to escape reality by turning to alcohol or drugs.
This is a problem in Ukraine too and it is becoming more and more dangerous. Million young people today are using drugs, and most of them will die. Usually they want just to try it , then again and again … and after year may be two years they will die. It is true. Because there are no medicine to help them.
About one million young people run away from home each year. Most return after a few days or a few weeks, but a few turn to crime and become juvenile delinquents. In 1989, approximately one-third of those arrested for serious crimes were under 18 years of age. Why are young people committing crimes?
Homelessness leads to young people are committing crimes. There are many homeless children, they haven’t got any place to live. That’s why they start to commit a crime. They don’t have a possibility to live a normal life. They commit crimes because they haven’t got a choice. Young people think that a good career and a normal life are not for them. Homeless children can’t wait any help from our government. The only way they can see is to commit a crime, to break the law. They don’t have any goals which they have set themselves and which they are going to obtain. Furthermore, the reason why the juvenile delinquency is a growing trend are drugs and alcohol. Alcohol and drugs are not banned in the society. It is sad that today’s teenagers have many drugs in their bodies – crack, cocaine and etc. That is why many teenagers are aggressive. I think it is too easy to buy drugs.
And, although it is prohibited the sale of alcohol to anyone under 18, a lot of teenagers, including some as young as 13, reported no problems in obtaining alcohol.
That’s why never do it, if you do - it goes bad, very bad. I think that police must work hard to protect young people from drugs. Because drugs will kill our young generation and our future will be very bad.
