A very good morning to my teachers and my fellow friends.

Today Im here to talk about the

social problems among youths.
The period of being young is a special time between childhood and maturity. Young people are
always active and productive. They have ability to do any tasks physically or mentally. Therefore,
good quality of young people are important for countrys ultimate success. Youths usually think and
do a task rationally. However some of them did not do so. Therefore, they live a meaningless life
which is a waste for them and the others. Social problems are the main cause which leads them to live
a meaningless life. Social problems destroy their live.
One factor accounting for the social problems among youths is the stress of modern day living.
Life today is hectic there is no time to relax. Todays academic demands are almost unnatural. Near
perfect results are required to get places in good schools and colleges. Therefore, they dont have for
recreation and they are on stress. It is not surprising that this people look for avenues to vent their
stress and engage in activities like vandalisme, gengsterisme , loafing and playing truant. Instead of
involving in these activities, youngsters should listen to music and talk with their family and friends to
vent their stress. These will help the young of today to live a healthier and happier life.
Another factor resulting in the social problems among young people is that the young people
being neglected by their parents. Youngsters suffer a number of emotional problems which are private
and only could be shared with their parents to get a solution. So, parents play a major role in youths
life listening to their emotional problems and giving them a solution. However , parents nowadays are
only able to meet their childrens physical needs but there are often unavailable when their children
needs emotional support. This is because today everything is expensive and both parents seek
employment to manage in this materialistic world. Therefore these youngsters do not get their parents
emotional support. As a result , they turn to peers for this emotional support.
In this case, peers become very important for young people. They often succumb to peer
pressure to gain acceptance into a group. In most cases this influence is bad, hence, social problems
such as smoking cigarettes and intake of drugs escalate. Rationally, youngsters should not give in to
peer pressure to gain acceptance in a group. Young people should think wisely , whether the peer
influence will be good or bad in the future, and make a wise decision to turn to which peer.
Another factor accounting for the social problems among youngsters are the media influence.
People get information and are entertained from media such as television and internet. Information
displayed by the media maybe useful or even not. Media influence occur when parents are away from
home or at work. During this time , youngsters in home are left alone unsupervised. Therefore these
young people get easy access to media entertainment. Media provides exciting forms of
entertainments for youngsters. Media glorifies socially unacceptable behaviors such as pre-marital sex
, human trafiking, gengsterisme and taking drugs. Media also potrays violence as a solution for
problems. Youngsters who are influenced with media regard violence as a acceptable way to solve
problems without knowing its bad consequences. In order to avoid media influence , young people
should be supervised by their parents all the time.
As a conclusion, obviously social problems among youngsters are escalating. From my point
of view, everyone is responsible to reduce the escalation of social problems among youths.
Youngsters are the future leaders of a country. Therefore , everyone should co-operate to reduce the
social problems which are destroying the youngsters life to prepare a better and brighter future for
the youths. Thank you.
