Being a teenage, one is at a most difficult stage in life. It is where you become introduced to the outside world and learning many new things. So because the brain is still fresh one easily absorbs anything that he\she comes across. That can prove fatal. One can find him\herself starting to be involved in bad activities e.g drugs, gangsterism and teenage pregnancy. The lack of communication between kids and their parents is a very effective tool in the lost youth. That is affecting the country as a whole. Not the culprits as individuals. Teenagers should learn to have discipline,be responsible and have confidence in everything they do. So they can be aware of their mistakes. They need to realize that becoming a criminal or a drug addict is the life you choose, because one has will-power in everything they do. They are only using it for the wrong things and in foul beliefs. If that enthusiasm of stealing and getting drunk can be of being successful and leading an optimistic life. That would result in less teenage pregnancy, and less crime in the country.

I never really gave into peer pressure but many do.
Yes, but not many kids are as smart as us. They just imitate what they see or hear in order to "fit in". I agree teenagers should be more responsible. Most of them could careless though. It's really sad. There are very few people who educate themselves well inside and outside of school. Unfortunately, many others do not get the same privilege. I am lucky though and so are you. Just a thought.
