The teenagers are very important for development of one nation. But now, we can heard that students damages discipline teacher’s car, inject drug .The increasing rate of student bully and drug abuse among youths is indeed of great concern. The causes of problems came from various factors. The main problem arises from teenager’s parent. The parent is a main character for their child, sometimes parents didn’t know about their children ability, that’s because the teenagers feel stress and tense. Sometimes, some parents put high expectations on their children like gets the excellence in their study or become high achiever in their school.

It can involve direct attacks such as hitting, and stealing or damaging belongings, indirect attacks such as spreading rumors or encouraging others to reject or exclude someone.

There are many problem solving skill to prevent bullying. Parents are should try sitting down with teenager and brainstorming some solution to the situation. And parents are also can discuss about what they have tried before in similar situations, and what outcomes they experienced. If a child ask to parent he is a victim of school bullying, parent are cannot ignore about this, because it is very serious case. First, believe and listen what the child say, this is very important step to make child believe you can help him. Second, most children are deal with bullying behavior, so let the child know he is not alone in this situation.

Teenage Drug Abuse

Drugs and Teenagers Drug use is the increasing problem among teenagers in today’s high schools. Most drug use begins in the preteen and teenage years. Why the reason teens are drug? There are many causes about teenager have a contact with drug. Family problem is one of the cause of teenager drug abuse, may be in family member who are the drug abuser, so teenager will influence by family member. Friends also is a reason of contact with drug. If a friend in the social group use drugs , the person may be offered to try drugs, which is direct pressure. Indirect pressure is when someone sees everyone around him using drugs and he might think that there is nothing wrong with using drugs. Even if a person had no intentions of using drugs one might do it just to be considered “cool” by his friends. Here is a personal example of drug use from a teenager, “When I started using, was only on weekends, at parties. I used drugs ‘recreationally’ and therefore thought I had no addiction problem. I used drugs like nicotine, marijuana or LSD to be happy or to have fun. I needed drugs. I kept using drugs, I used drugs like marijuana to fit socially. I had problems in my life, emotionally, that drugs only seemed to solve. Drugs made my problems worse. I started snorting cocaine. I injected heroin into my veins. I almost died. I was addicted.” Therefore drug is very harmful to everyone, especially teenager. Drug can destroy the teenager future or everything. The overcome method is parent must take some time to give enough concern to their children for avoid them from drugs. The school should hire a lecture to give a talk to teenager, let them know how about the drugs destroy our body and disadvantages of drug. The society must cooperate with police fight against drug dealer, without drug dealer, there are no drug to deal with buyer.

2.0 Introduction

School uniforms should be compulsory for all students at all grade levels . There are many reasons, which justify this including discipline , discrimination and to give the students a sense of identity .

If all students at a particular school didn’t wear school uniforms , there would be discrimination between the financially advantaged people and the disadvantaged people . The wealthier people would tend to look down the poorer people as it gives them a chance to flaunt their wealth .

When students wear school uniforms , it shows the similarities between them , and not the differences . Each school has their own rule of law and based on that , students need to obey on that law and respect . When student wears a uniform , it shows a sign of dignity and it means that that student has confirmed the school expectations and that student feels that he or she belongs to that school . School uniforms also indicate what degree or grade the students are in , and what kind of school they go to . School uniforms are good because some children would become bullied if they did not wear the most up to date fashions . A school uniform makes it easier for the school authorities to recognize students belonging to their school . So everyone wearing the same uniform everyday that type of degrading is avoided . In short , wearing school uniform is very important and bring a lot of advantage to student .

2. There are many disadvantage if pupil are not wearing school uniform . Teenager will wearing a expensive brand name to school to show that he or she has much money to spend on these clothes . Many of teenage feel that without wearing uniform and wearing follow own stlye is individuality and self-expression , this is a wrong concept to teenage , they never know school uniform is very important to them . Recently , there are two gang of pupil fighting on street after

school time , but they are not wearing school uniform , so the people who saw the pupil fighting on the street , they cannot identify which school the pupil came from .

3. It many advantange if all of pupil wear school uniform . Wearing school uniform mean everyone is the same , no one can set fashion or teased for wearing weird or out of fashion clothes . If pupil wear school uniform , pupil can be identify by the public . If they need to make complain , public will know which school are the pupil come from . Often makes kids behave better as they’re in uniform linked to work not casual clothes they use for socializing . Also , wearing school uniform can promotes good discipline of a school . This naturally reduces incidents of violence . Pupil can come to school without worrying about personal safety . Teachers don’t have to double as guards, and can concentrate on teaching .

4. Wearing a uniform gets the pupil ready for the job market , because at a job they might have to wear a uniform or dress up and this gets them accustomed to this . Also , they see their parents dress clothes for work and may take learning more seriously. Pearent don’t have to spend a lot of money for new and fashion clothes to their child everytime . A school uniform apparently also saves students from putting their fashion tastes . When they don’t have to spend time wondering what to wear and how to make a fashion statement , they can spend more time to getting an education . Also , pupil saves time in the morning because they already know what they are wearing to school .

Parent also can save money to buy clothes to pupil . When a student wears a shirt with the school’s symbol, everyone knows where the student studies .

2.2 Conclusion
