i resorted to some of that, because i was bored of being nice. Because being nice did not get me any socialisation, so i may as well be evil, cos i aint never done it before. Well that was my reason for being a delinquent for a while.

depends on how far you'll want to go for this, because we're already complaining about pap micro-managing our lives "for the sake of the country" would that seem funny for us to want to do the same to our young?Originally posted by cottoncandi:if you can propose a change to help improve the situation, besides organising events of interest to them to bond with the society, what will you do?
and btw are you using us to do your homework?

The very fact, that teachers and principals of schools are NOT ALLOWED to lay hands on students, are telling proof of what is causing the the rise in teenage dillinqeuncy. Apart from young parents leaving their children care to domestic maids.
The many priviliges that the young are accorded these days also contribute to this cause.
What more, can I say? However, views are varied, and some may beg to defer. -
i am sure the topic is one of a staurated nature..delinquency in teenagers is a common as puberty to our young adults,
in fact quelling this very nature of delinquency would in fact retard the youth's emotional and character growth..
it might sound absurd but all of us have been thru a certain amounrt of angst when we were younger..irregardless of whch gen we came from we did partake in certain amount of non-conformity.
i believe the isuue of delinquency in singapore isin't as drastic as it is in other nations..
yes our students are often rude at some have no respect for their elders..but let's macromanage this situation and we see that it is but a small group even thus this small group would out grow this age.
about coporal punishments in the classroom. i think it defeats the purose of new age learning or the application of education now in the 21st cventury..
in an era wherby radical methods of learning are introduced even at pre-kindergarten levels..where the students are enriched with various modes of thought even at a very young age. thus imposing punishments like caning and such are a contrary to the aims of modern day education
yes the students and youths need a mode of redress but let it come from another way.
in an age wherby money and freeadom are made accesible; physical punishment might oftentimes be ineffective..
cheers

i will say it is due to the parents themselves nt spending enough time and attention to their child... the child as a result seeks out ways to gain attention... most of the time... committing illegal crimes...

Actually teenagers in european nations, the so-called developed countries, breed far more mischievous kids at our age then we do. When you actually see them in action, you might consider our own as mild.
A lot has haywired since our days, a combination of poor teaching and a shift in priorities has led to more teenagers turning to delinquency and petty crimes as an avenue of past-times.
Our society has also evolved and with it, new problems surface. They're all pretty much inter-related....like an ecosystem. -
just reached home after going out for supper, met a group of girls, can't be older than 15, all on bikes, still moving around in a group of 6-8 at around 1 a.m
my bro who was with me told me that he saw them around since the afternoon??!!?
wtf u mean they're suddenly having cycling as a hobby? and its so enjoyable that they must spend the whole day cycling around jurong west??
i don't believe that all their parents are allowing them to roam around at midnight
i think its time to let teachers beat the crap out of their students -
We should militarize all schools and re think our policies on children. If we do not change the situation now, it will be even harder in the future.
-
yeah, and have the other extreme...
you do realise that if everyone were militarily minded, and they had to listen without questioning authority, everyone might as well be dead?
of course, a mild dose of discipline never hurt anyone... are you talking about that? -
Man you people have not seen true DELINQUENCY yet. So you should quit crying at only a drop of spilt milk. The other dude was right about the evil Western societies breeding more delinquents. So lighten up. Besides, your MAtrix of a country has got its own way of dealing with delinquents, so you should just stick to the causalistic deterrant policies you already have.

teenagers are growing and maturing, esp in terms of their brain developments. hence they are still learning to make decisions like adults. some learn and do so earlier others later.Originally posted by cottoncandi:through thed yrs, this issue has been evolving as seen from the number of reports.

hence over this turbulent period, what they need is lots of guidance and love and patience. this comes from their immediate environments - home, sch, friends. but the most impt would be the homes.
if the homes are not able to provide the support they need, and the parenting styles used on them are not desirable and effective, things may go wrong - they may go with bad company, make wrong decisions, etc...
it is not possible to totally eliminate this. but we can reduce it by bringing all those on the borders back - giving them the emotional support and guidance they need. -
tt is common amongst teenagers - seeking validation and yielding to peer pressure.Originally posted by men_@_arms:Because being nice did not get me any socialisation, . -
SINGAPORE : More than 100 schools will send their staff and students home for dinner at 5pm on May 28, with some willing to even shut down the school servers.
Studies have shown that teenagers who eat with their parents generally stay out of trouble, said Mr Wong Suen Kwong, co-founder of the Centre for Fathering.
The schools will join more than 100 organisations for this year's 'Eat With Your Family Day', which aims to nurture family togetherness by encouraging family members to eat together.
Revealing that this is a marked improvement from last year, when only two schools participated, Mr Wong said: "The focus of this year's National Family Week is on youths. Therefore, we see a need to get teenagers to contribute to the table."
In support, Raffles Institution gave 20 students a crash course on cooking by culinary expert Violet Oon. - TODAY -

That is an interesting observation, but it certainly makes sense - since parents can communicate to their children during dinner time.

yes. but one dinner is not going to make a world of difference. wat is necessary is for parents to make effort to spend quality time with their children.Originally posted by loudmonkey:That is an interesting observation, but it certainly makes sense - since parents can communicate to their children during dinner time. -
Deliquents are a result of dysfunctional families. Many times the parents are unable to communicate with them & no parental supervision. Also due to peer pressure & stress in school. Teenagers are rebellious & will try your patience. They need care & understanding. No point scolding them. Work better to reason with them

Good post, Gerry! May I add that it is probably in teenagers' nature to retaliate against a higher authority until they've sorted out their own priorities in life and become more matureOriginally posted by gerrykoh:Deliquents are a result of dysfunctional families.
