MY VIEWSI think that
some teenagers nowadays are really getting very 'cool'.
Yes, that's the word that they use to describe themselves. In other's eyes, they are like gangsters.
Many teenagers bow down to peer pressure and it's all because of people around them. Thus I think that choosing the correct friends are really important.
Sometimes, we really have to look from the views of these teenagers. What made them like this?
Sometimes, family member play a great part in this. Some parents do not spend enough time with their kids and thus, making them lack in discipline.
Some teenagers join gangs probably because they think it's, again,
cool to do so.
Their gang members make them think negatively about everything they are unhappy with.
Like, you have power when people are scared of you.
In actual, everyone knows that this is it not the case.
Friend play a great role, maybe even greater that parents themselves as they are closer to the 'victims'..
Friends shoud encourage them to look things in a more positive way, rather than making them think that: yeah, they are correct.
Friends should judge when they are thinking correctly or wrongly, and should persuade them into doing 'silly' things like joining gangs, vandalising , showing those: "what are you staring at?" attitudes.
We ourselves should have a sense of reponsibility too, as nobody is reponsible for our future. We should know how to judge right from wrong and what not to do, and what we should do.
I think that if we all help each other out, show a little more care to everyone around you, it would make the society thrive.
