WRITING (20 MARKS)

Write an essay of 250 - 300 words on the reasons for misbehavior among teenagers.

Bad behaviour is only part of raising teenagers and they will always act

from time to time. But if bad behaviour starts out of control and teens are

going to run into serious problems on a regular basis, you need to do

something. Setting firm boundaries and punishing teens from bad

behaviour is important, but if you really want to solve the problem, it’s

also important to understand the reasons for the behaviour from the

beginning. Teenagers don’t start acting out for no good reason. Although

hormones cause mood swings over time, consistent bad behaviours are

usually caused by problems that are often encountered. If you can

address the root cause of the problem, it will be easier for you to build

better relationships with teenagers. The reasons for misbehaviour

among teenagers.

First, this is one of the reasons for misbehaviour among teenagers is

there are problems at home. As you strive to figure out the underlying

problem that is causing the bad behaviours, you should always look

inside first. Is something going on at home that can cause problems. For

example, if you and your partner are having problems and you argue a

lot, this is very scary for teenagers and they may start acting out of

attention. If you decide to divorce your partner, that will result in

persistent bad behaviours in adolescence. Also, things like money

worries can scare teens as well, and they don’t know how to process

that fear until anger arises. Parents can spend a lot of time figuring out

what is bothering their teen. If the situation is difficult at home, don’t try

to hide it from your teen because it’s easier to understand than you

realize. They know that there is a problem and trying to hide it only

makes them angrier. Instead, you should talk to them about things like

divorce or money issues and try to convince them. When you start

having an open discussion about it, teens will feel better and their

behaviour should improve.

Second, Lying or Hiding Facts. It is very bad for parents to find out that

their child has lied to them, or not stated it all. The truth is that their

newfound freedom makes them not have to tell you everything out of

fear of being judged and punished. Thus, it forces teenagers to lie as it

can become a compulsive habit if left unchecked. Honesty is a trait you

should encourage to build your children. Teach them to tell you the truth,

by setting an example for them. Have an open channel of

communication with your children, allowing them to share anything and

everything without hesitation. When children see their parents being

honest and truthful in all things, including their faults, they will learn to do

the same.

Lastly, the reasons for misbehaviour among teenagers is promiscuity.

Free association can be defined as free association between men and

women who are not foreigners without restrictions. However, at present

free association is not limited to men and women only but the

relationship between men and men and women with women can also

invite social problems in society. Adolescents who engage in free

association are usually due to the busyness of working parents. This

makes teenagers feel bored and lonely when they are at home. As such,

these children go out in search of friends who can cure their loneliness.

no wonder children today are closer to their peers than their own

parents. For them, friends understand them better and will help if they

have a problem compared to parents who are too busy working. This

causes children to feel less loved than their own parents.

In conclusion, the reasons for misbehaviour among teenagers can be

said that behavioural problems among adolescents are now increasingly

worrisome. All parties must work together to the grassroots as the saying

goes, to the same hill climbed, to the same chasm lowered in dealing

with adolescent behaviour problems. Drastic and effective measures

need to be taken to alleviate this problem. If this problem can be solved

earlier, the problem of adolescent behaviour will no longer haunt our

society because it will damage the morale, trust and future of

adolescents and the country's desire to produce excellent, glorious and

distinguished Malaysian youth will come true.
