Essay

Young people are in stage where they can and at the same time can not fend for themselves. They are always supposed to focus on their future, provided that they have a support system, such as parents or caregiver, who they can trust, so that they may go on with their life and get education, a job and in the end a family. Nevertheless when those things are absent, the child may be led down a darker path.

As everyone would, children who are brought up in rough conditions, will surely too look for the most expected influence, which are the people who raised them. Those individuals are trusted to keep their wards on the right track, away from trouble. However if there is no satisfactory influence of parents, they will probably take up poor habits of the people who brought them up or will start to look for it elsewhere. When parents lose control over their child, it is more likely for them to get into the life of trouble.

People, who have been raised in second-rate environment, such as rough neighbourhoods, may feel due to their parents and school's lack of interest, that they are not worthy of given a chance for a better life or don't have a chance to exist outside of crime. It is true, that even when government might fund every school, somehow that same capital doesn't make it into poorer areas, leaving children with no choice but to fend for themselves. When those same young people look for a way to succeed, they might just see life of crime as their way out.

In conclusion, the main and most likely reason for young people to get in trouble is because of the lack of interest in them by their parents. Although the fact that the community, such as school, does not do enough to help out children and their path to success.
