It has been a common problem that when young people attain a certain age they tend to turn their behaviors and start behaving in an awkward manner which can see them encounter problems in the society. This usually happens because some people in the society do not understand the young people and mostly they end not handling them in the right manner. This usually leads to
the escalation of the problem.
Young people mostly copy what they see happening in the society. They however do not have limits in doing what they copy. Due to this they engage in activities which they see their adult colleagues doing and do it to extremes. This is the beginning of many of the problems amongst the young. Young people never want to be left behind even by their counterparts. Many have been brought in different social set ups. This makes them to be anxious to copy what they never experienced in their background.
Young people need to be exposed to limited freedom in order to avoid some of these funny behaviors. There are several places which fit them in order to solve their problem. Schools are the best places to help young people and mould their characters into useful people in the society.
As a teacher I would recommend institutions to be strict and to make sure that the regulations set in them are followed to the letter.
There are different types of schools as well and depending on the type of the person the parents should choose the type of schools to take their children to. Small children should just be taken to day schools where they can be able to see their parents or guardians on a daily basis. This is because the parents play a very important role in the development of these children. Many children to be rude if brought up by people who are not their parents.
When the kids grow they can be taken to boarding schools where they can face the other students and learn to live in a community. At this stage the children need to be handled with extreme attention because it is here that their behaviors change. Some behavioral cases of these students are very extreme and require that they betaken to rehabilitation centers where they learn the hard way; however this should taken as a last resolution.
Rudeness is a common problem among the young people. This problem can be solved by trying to show the young the essence of living peacefully in the society. Giving them some of the repercussions arising from being rude in the society will also be of great importance.
At adolescent many also tent to discover some of the sexual behaviors in the society. They begin to clad in attires aiming at attracting the opposite sex. This is a serious challenge amongst the young people because the dangers involved in it are fatal looking at the menace of the HIV AIDS. This is a hard problem to solve because it is a stage and the people think that it is their right to do it. Its approach needs some bit of professionalism. One should first try to understand the young people and interact with them closely. By knowing why they do what they do it will be even easier to help them. Just as in the case of rudeness show them the dangers involved in the behavior. Instill the sense that avoiding it is for their own good because all its effects will turn to them later. Be categorical to explain to them some of the major dangers involved in it which include unwanted pregnancies, school dropouts and even death. Cancel them with love and understanding. You can even use the religious holy books to quote some verses which condemn the vice amongst its followers.
Students are in school to study and excel and there in molding their character one should also help them perform well in their academic work. These two are also interrelated; students who behave well will as well tent to perform well. Young people should also be helped to realize their talents and be shown how they can deliver to the society as young people and even when they are adults.
