A diary of Life (Part III)

Nowadays more and more children and teenagers are getting involved in gangs, in drugs or in everything related to the endless world of crime that every single human feels scared about it. Just knowing that going out home a thief or a petty thief may come across us to steal our belongings, we cannot feel totally secure anywhere. But, the most surpring thing of all is that these "thiefs" are mostly teenagers, even children without any experience, and they are the ones that can make us feel fearful or scared by just seeing them approaching us with a tiny knife. Incredible, right? Well, unfortunately this is becoming a more serious issue for authorities to overcome, yet if I pose the following question: if children receive education and care from their parents, would this problem´s rates decrease?

Many children and teens are prone to change themselves as they meet new people, especially those that they unconsciously consider "friends", people that they think may obtain something "good" or pleasant from them, but that the real situation is that these "new friends" are people whose lives were sealed by bad and undesirable friendships, and whose "new" lives have been devoted to the increasing world of gangs.

However, where there are problems, there are solutions, and a way to fight this issue is to develop communication with parents or with any one who is able to help or to advice them. Parents play a very important role in every offspring's decision. For example, if mom or dad or both do not care so much of their "children" they may feel as someone who does not have rights to be loved, and as a consequence, they might start thinking the same, that anyone should not either deserve care or benefits as them, and finally, become a gang, involving with a group of people that they think these people are the ones that can understand them. Though, while parents dedicate more time and comprehension to their children and take care of them, these children also has to think conciously of what their family do for them, in simple words, comprehension and love. Sometimes teens only want to become someone whose interests and hobbies can be shared with other people who they consider "friends", ignoring the real face of them. And parents are always people to whom we can share our interests and hobbies.

Together we can fight against the increasing world of gangs...
