INTRODUCTION

What are social problems among teenagers?
A social problem is a condition that at least some people in a community view as being undesirable. Everyone would agree about some social problems, such as murders and DWI traffic deaths. Other social problems may be viewed as such by certain groups of people. Teenagers who play loud music in a public park obviously do not view it as a problem, but some other people may consider it an undesirable social condition. Some nonsmokers view smoking as an undesirable social condition that should be banned or restricted in public buildings. Every newspaper is filled with stories about undesirable social conditions. Examples include crime, violence, drug abuse, and environmental problems. Such social problems can be found at the local, state, national and international levels. There are many social problems that teenagers go threw. 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, these years most crucial in the maturation process. During these years adolescents are faced with difficult tasks of discovering their self identity, clarifying their sexual roles, assenting independence, learning to cope with authority and searching for goals that would give their lives meaning. Drugs are readily, adolescents are curious and venerable, and there is peer pressure to experiment, and there us a temptation to escape from conflicts. The use of drugs by teenagers is the result of a combination of factors such as peer pressure, curiosity, and availability. Drugs addiction among adolescents in turn leads to depression and suicide. One of the most important reasons of teenage drug usage is peer pressure. Peer pressure represents social influences that effect adolescents, it can have a positive or a negative effect, depending on person’s social group and one can follow one path of the other. We are greatly influenced by the people around us. According to the lecturer from Faculty of Leadership and Management (FKP), Islamic Science University of Malaysia (USIM), Madam Marina Muneera Abdul Muttalib said that, in today’s schools drugs are very common; peer pressure usually is the reason for their usage. If the people in the social group use drugs there will be pressure a direct or indirect pressure from them. A 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. Person might try drugs just to fit in the social norms, even if a person had no intentions of using drugs one might do it just to be considered “cool” by his friends. Today drugs are considered to be an acceptable social phenomenon by many teenagers. 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.” In today’s highs schools the availability and variety of drugs is widespread. There is a demand for drugs and the supply is plentiful. Since drugs are so easy accessible, a natural interest in them may develop. Many teenagers today believe that the first use of drugs is safe. However even though there is no instant addiction with the first try, youngsters tend to experiment further. Soon a person could actively seek the euphoric effects of drugs. Drug addiction is the result of intense preoccupation with the dicer to experience the mental and bodily changes with drug use. The final and the most disastrous stage are when a person needs drugs in order to function adequately. Therefore availability, curiosity and experimentation could result in drug addiction among teenagers. According to the staff of government, Mohd Azuan Hussin, 26, said that, one of the most devastating side effects of drug addiction and abuse is depression. Depression is the result of chemical imbalance, environmental influence, or a combination of both. Using heavy and very highly addictive drugs as heroin, cocaine, opium and many others will cause sudden mood changes, deterioration of the immune system, nervous breakdowns, unusual flares of temper and many other side effects. Besides physical side effects, drug addiction can create problems in a person’s social circles. The person may run into many conflicts with his family and friends, resulting in desire for isolation. This in turn will create more problems since the person will have no social support. Furthermore, drug addiction is a financial strain especially for teenagers. When a person is addicted to drugs he will do anything to obtain money to fulfill his needs. Drug addiction is the results of 3 “I’s”. Teenagers may think of their problems as Inescapable, Interminable and Intolerable. Life may seem bleak and miserable. Seeing no way out feeling lonely and no prospects for improvement leads to depression. This can further lead to attempted suicide. Many studies have found that drugs are a contributing factor to suicide. Using drugs may reduce inhibitions and impair judgments, suicide is a possibility. As one statistic illustrates 70% of all young people who attempted suicide used drugs. Illegal drugs, for example, weed; speed, acid, or ecstasy has always been a problem among the younger folks, the problems gets even more serious if it involves additive substances such as cocaine. The most common seen illegal drug around teens in BC is Ecstasy, or generally called “E”. E’s are usually involved in rave parties; people take E’s and dance overnight. The academic name for E is hallucinogenic stimulant, it generally affects the concentration of the brain, and it can change one’s mood, sleep, sexual behavior, body temperature and appetite. The sensation sight, sound and touch are enhanced, that’s why it’s usually used at discos and parties. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to “get high” and about three to four hours to wear off. Side effects include heart and blood pressure problems, blurred vision, chills and sweating. The tablet changes every week and counterfeits are always around, it is not addictive. It is illegal to buy, sell, produce or posses any amount of E. The problems of teenage drug use, depression and suicide are evident in our society. These are very real and threatening issues that have to be dealt with. Going into the 21st century we have to face to problems of our future generations. There are many non-profitable organizations that help teenagers to cope with drug use. There are help lines, community services that offer information about drugs, and individual counseling is available almost in every education institution. There is help available to those who seek it. Unplanned pregnancy and the contraction of sexually transmitted diseases continue to be prevalent problems among adolescents. These problems often result in adverse health, social, and economic consequences for teenagers and their families. Currently, there is little practice-based information concerning interventions designed to improve communication comfort about sexually related issues within families, especially between parents and their adolescents. Adolescents often engage in a wide range of high-risk sexual behaviors that can result in adverse health, social, and economic consequences for themselves and their families. Many of the programs serving teens and their families do not utilize social learning or other similar approaches to facilitate effective communication about sex between parents and their adolescents. In addition, many programs do not emphasize effective familial communication about adolescent sexuality, specifically the prevention of pregnancy and STIs, and this lack of attention may explain why changes in adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills have not always resulted in corresponding changes in their risk-taking sexual behaviors. According to the student from Faculty of Syariah and Law (FSU), Islamic Science University of Malaysia (USIM), Nur Nabihah Johari, 22, said that parents need accurate information and support to feel more comfortable and confident that they possess the necessary communication skills to be effective in discussing risk-taking sexual behaviors with their adolescents. Although effective familial sex communication can lead to decreased adolescent risk-taking sexual behaviors, discomfort experienced by parents and their adolescents in speaking about adolescent sexuality can prevent effective sex education from occurring. In terms of communication an emphasis on comfort needs to be given to helping parents increase communication skills while strengthening relationships. Adolescents who are sexually active are more likely to report poor communication with their parents. Sex education that provides skills training based on social-learning principles can be an important type of practice-based educational approach. Social-learning theory suggests that the norms and behavior of the people around teenagers, particularly parents, influence their behavior. Most sex education programs communicate that it is desirable to postpone sexual intercourse and that unprotected sex should be avoided. These programs may take place in school or community settings such as hospitals. They usually combine information on human sexuality with specific, concrete skills-building sessions on how to resist influences encouraging sexual activity. Some of these programs also work to increase parent–child communication on sexuality and sexual choices. Although evaluations of these programs have not provided conclusive evidence, they do appear to be effective in postponing sexual activity among virgins. It is important to note that while they do not appear to influence the level of sexual activity of those already sexually active, these programs may help these teens use contraceptives more effectively. Teens not only need information about their sexuality, but they also need to know how to apply this information in daily life. For most people, including adolescents, there is usually a gap between what people know and what they do. Therefore, sex education programs need to place emphasis on teaching decision-making skills, life skills, and life planning. Social workers and other helping professionals need to take leadership roles in designing, implementing, directing, and evaluating comprehensive and effective practice interventions in all areas of practice, including those that involve familial sex education approaches and programs. However, practitioners must first recognize and then acknowledge that parents have a vital role to play in prevention efforts. Preventative sex education efforts of most programs still largely exclude parents as agents of change in agency-based interventions intended to reduce adolescent risk-taking sexual behaviors. Sex education information has been shown to be more effective when combined with familial sex communication. It seems reasonable to believe that parental involvement could be successfully incorporated into existing sex education programs. Doing so may result in both reduced risk-taking sexual behaviors by adolescents and increased levels of comfort during familial sex communication.

For the conclusion, one of the most important goals is to prevent children from violating any further so they can become responsible and successful adults. The second most important goal is to protect society from the criminal acts of children. Parents need to teach children self-control by monitoring the child’s behavior, recognizing the different behaviors when they occur, and punishing those which are unacceptable. Through education, treatment, and affection, prevention of criminal acts reaches juveniles and assists them into a healthier and better life. To be able to use these components at the earliest stage possible is to keep these teenagers away from ever entering the juvenile justice system in the first place. With the help of education, training, and support for the staff, probation officers can be better prepared to take on diverse cases of all types. The juvenile justice system needs improvement. Probation officers, judges, and family members need to make effective decisions about who should really be incarcerated and/or receive probation. If an offense made is not extremely serious and the client and officer can agree on a punishment, the child does not need to present himself upon a judge. If either the client or officer wants to make an appearance in court, an agreement cannot be reached, or threats have been made involving either parties or others, a court decision is most suggested. In addition, to making the correct choices, good community programs are also necessary to place delinquents in a better environment to be able to succeed. Though juveniles tend to steal, trespass, fight, drink, take drugs, use profanity, run away from home, and miss school, many solutions were being thought about to prevent these flaws. The first has already been mentioned and deals with “toughening up” and placing juveniles in adult courts. The removing offenders from society for longer periods of time will reduce crime. Those who have not committed a serious crime will come to the realization of the possible punishments such as life in prison, the death penalty, and others. Violent offenders would be less likely to repeat their crimes by learning from their first lesson.

Social Problems Affect Everyone

Social problems affect you, me, and everybody. Our primary focus through the book will be problems over which we believe we have no control. We all suffer from them without knowing what to do about them. We talk about them in lunchrooms, after church, on the Internet and at social gatherings. Television news programs, magazines and newspapers are full of them. We shake our heads, sympathize with each other, and feel a little more uncomfortable with each exposure.

Problems are a way of life with us. We know the effects and costs of personal problems. They have a way of resolving themselves over time. Our personal problems mostly affect us and maybe a few others close to us. Social problems ring in at a different level. They rage through our communities, out of control because we believe their causes can't be addressed or even touched by us. They seem to be a necessary evil of modern life in cities.

How can we recognize a social problem? After all, we endure all problems personally. Social problems are shared among many people, not just a few. They usually involve anti-social behavior. But not always, since the perpetrators do not necessarily think they are doing anything wrong. They affect strangers as well as friends and family.

Our society pays to have social workers, police and other government employee’s deal with those involved with social problems. Yet the problems persist. Either these people are incompetent in every city of the world or we are approaching the problems the wrong way. So we pay to take ourselves down the same dead end roads year after year.

If you find yourself on a dead end road that will not take you where you want to go, change course and find a different route. Finding that different route is the second step for this book. The first is to convince you that a new course is needed.

A social problem affects people directly and indirectly. An indirect effect would be fear or concern that is generated among members of a community over a particular problem they have in common. In a sense, you could say that "a personal problem is what I have" and "a social problem is what others have that affects me, even if I don't know the individuals involved."

For example, a divorce touches the lives of several people, most of whom know each other. A divorce rate around fifty percent is a social problem because it not only affects the individuals involved, but it has an impact on others. For example, school classes have trouble celebrating Mother's Day or Father's Day because some children lack a parent in their lives. Children may also lack the influence of one parent or gender role model in his or her life. This can affect their behavior in class, which in turn impacts on the rest of the class.

One of the ways in which we teach children respect and admiration for their parents is through activities relating to Mother's Day and Father's Day. When the celebrations in classrooms stop for reasons of political correctness, the teaching of respect and admiration for parents on those occasions stops too. The teaching moment disappears. School curriculum provides little room for these values to be replaced.

Some formerly common celebrations within schools, including Christmas, must be omitted entirely because we fear that some kids will find them unhappy occasions or be unable to participate. Although we eliminate Christmas trees and carols, the lessons of goodwill, of caring for others, of helping and sharing, of giving, disappear. Replacement teaching situations simply do not happen.

A high divorce rate affects the topics of television programs and stage plays, fiction and nonfiction books and even creates the need for support groups and sometimes intervention by civil authorities who should otherwise not be involved in family affairs. Divorce, as a social factor, affects our lives whether or not we are directly involved.

If you are homeless, you have a personal problem. But homeless people collectively form a social problem. We believe that all people should have food to eat, shelter from the weather and clothing to wear. They need support from strangers because they cannot manage these on their own. Homeless people, for the most part, are unable to provide for themselves the basic needs of life. At least not in a socially acceptable manner.

Illiteracy, even functional illiteracy where people can read but they have trouble understanding and acting on the written documents that affect their lives, is a social problem because our businesses slow to accommodate employees who cannot keep up with the pace. Our health care system is plugged with people who suffer from stress they are unable to knowingly attribute to their own inability to cope with what they have read, either in their jobs or at home.

Speeding on residential roads and highways has become a social problem because people die or are injured in accidents. No one has a good explanation of why drivers greatly exceed the speed limit. Some of it involves thrill-seeking and risk-taking. A high-speed, high-stress lifestyle explains other examples. Some believe that speeding has become a social norm, acceptable to most drivers but frowned upon by police who need to fill the public coffers with fines.

Street gangs don't directly affect the lives of most of us. But they become social problems when their activities become violent or they sell illegal materials, behaviors’ that create fear among strangers to them because people worry that they might become the next victims. Repeated emphasis of these activities by the media causes fear, apprehension, even neuroses among citizens not otherwise involved.

Organized crime exists as a social problem mostly because participation in their activities is a moral issue. Even having to deal with such people in an official capacity is considered socially unpleasant.

Criminal organizations address the situation of a high demand for certain services and products for which there is a small or no legal supply. Honest citizens pay highly from their pockets for organized crime because they insist that their governments do not become involved directly in activities associated with organized crime. We pay much higher taxes because those who use the services of organized crime pay no tax and we must pay for police, court, legal and prison services so that our governments can remain at arms length from these highly profitable business activities.

If the moral component associated with organized crime activities were removed, governments could provide clean, safe products and services, in controlled conditions. If for example governments licensed prostitutes and verified their state of health and controlled the distribution of street drugs, our streets, our social services and our health care system could be relieved of great burdens.

With the money saved by freeing up police and judicial services and the taxes earned from these activities, governments could easily conduct education campaigns that would lower participation in these now illegal activities. This is a short term solution that might not be acceptable to the majority of citizens. The purpose of this book is to provide long term solutions that are agreeable to a large majority of people.

Governments have no trouble collecting money from people for products and services which they fundamentally condemn. Cigarette smoking has become socially unacceptable in most parts of North America. Governments collect taxes from the legal sale of cigarettes, and then use the money to campaign against smoking by educating citizens of its hazards. Yet some less socially acceptable practices are not taxed.

Governments have begun to turn the corner on some social problems in our communities. They have not yet done so with others because they are not supported by their electorate and in some cases they don't know what to do.

Only when citizens authorize and encourage their governments to directly address social problems, without allowing ancient moralities and fears to interfere, can progress be made to eliminate them or at least lessen their impact over a short term. Those ancient moralities developed when civilization was in its tribal stage and religions needed to create rules to control the behavior of a few people. Now we have police and laws to serve the same function. Modern social agencies work within ancient moralities.

For our purposes, a social problem will be any behavior by groups of strangers that creates fear, worry or concern for you and others in your community.

While many people participate in them, many more are affected, either as victims or by association (such as by watching television news reports). Social problems involve almost everyone in some way, even strangers. For the same reason, social problems require solutions where people who don't know each other act together to protect their personal and collective interests. They must act together to remedy situations that have gone beyond their control and the control of their governments, their churches and other agencies that directly influenced citizens and controlled behavior in the past.

If a particular problem worries you or concerns you in some way, then you must be a party to its solution. Social problems do not go away by themselves, as personal problems sometimes do. When people ignore them or urge their governments to provide quick solutions by using the police, courts and hospitals, the problems get worse. Only when the people affected by a problem acknowledge that it is a problem and work together on a collective solution can there be any possibility of resolving it.

There is no custom or tradition in large societies to create collective solutions to social problems. Large societies are a relatively new form of civilization, considering the history of humankind. In tribal societies, collective solutions to problems were as common as solutions devised by tribal leaders. Theft, for example, might be handled by social ostracism for a period of time, such that members of the tribe would not speak to the offender or help him. For the most part, the world of the 21st century has evolved past tribal societies into much larger forms of civilization. In the process of creating our modern world, we have not developed ways to address and resolve social problems created by our larger societies.

Our governments tend to involve us less and less in the daily operation of our countries as they grow, whether they be democracies, monarchies or other forms of administration. We don't have time to learn what our governments are doing. Or we have been led to believe that we don't have time. Our governments, in turn, believe that they don't have time to inform us. An uninformed public is the breeding ground for social problems when people do not act together to address them.

Some people don't vote because they don't know who is running in an election or anything about the issues of the day. These people unknowingly create another social problem called apathy. Governments can run amok, following whatever policies and paths their leaders want. They know that most people don't know enough about what is going on to care.

People who don't care and don't vote affect you because politicians can rouse apathetic, uncaring people enough, when needed, to support what those politicians want. Unaware and uncaring citizens unknowingly become a non-participating, controlling interest in social policy. Apathetic citizens affect public policy.

Social problems can only be addressed and solutions formed when a majority of people agree that they should. The silence of the silent majority of people is a social problem in itself. It's up to those who care and who are interested to rouse the interest of those who don't. That means that they must read this book and come to realize that they can help to solve social problems, that they are needed, that they can make a difference. In fact, social problems cannot be solved without them. Your encouragement is needed.

Our modern cities have not created a lot of bad people. They have created a majority of people who are not conscious of the need for them to participate in solutions to 21st century problems.

Those who care about finding solutions to social problems must become the ones who awaken others and keep up their spirits until we can form an active majority.

Apathetic people have become that way because they have given up hope that anything can be changed. They don't know the very important information that you will learn as you read through this book. They don't know that solutions are within us. It's up to us to make them aware that there is reason for hope, that solutions are possible, that their participation is needed and valuable and that the solutions are based on what we all believe now.

We don't need to change our beliefs and values. On the contrary, it's critical that we keep them. We need to change what we do with them.

Causes of Social Problems in Malaysia

Malaysia is categorized as third world country and has received rapid growth in socioeconomic and advance technologies. The globalization makes the world become smaller and all the information could be obtained easily by clicking on the computers. World without any barriers allows cultures from other countries influence the Malaysian especially the youths. There are good and bad cultures. The social problems emerged due to bad cultures from other countries. Culture which we do not feed into our own cultural and religious values. Most young generations cannot identify and analyze what are the good and bad things. It could eliminate the moral values in each young generation.

There are several factors which trigger this phenomenon. Most people blame the parents who are not giving their children full attention. As a mother and father, we are responsible to teach our children how to prevent themselves from being involved in social problems such as smoking, sex before marriage, vandalism, bullying and other negative actions. Nowadays, the parents are going out early in the morning to go to work and reach home at midnight. They do not have sufficient time with the children. So, who will teach them to be good girls and boys? Who will tell them what are good and bad actions and what the effects are if they are doing the bad things?

Most of the youth fulfill their free time watching television, playing play station games, surfing internet, learning and trying to use a new handset, listening to music in digital MP3 player and so on. They are fast leaner and expertise in using modern technologies. The technologies are supposed to make our life better and help us to finish our work on time. However, the technologies are also giving the negative impacts if the users abuse the technologies. They are straying from the actual uses of the technologies. For example; Internet is used to find a lot of beneficial information to add to our knowledge in various things. Using internet allows us to obtain all the information without limitation. However, we also can search unnecessary websites such as pornography sites, heavy metal music sites, sex sites, black metal sites and so on. Those websites are trying to influence our youth to be rebellious teenagers!

Friends are most important supporter to the youth. They meet their friends almost every day at school and often go out with them. Regarding this phase, the teenagers prefer to share their problems, hobbies, happiness and sadness with their close friends. Friends are the subjects who influence the youth in making decision, build their thinking and confidence without limits. If they are fortunate and associate themselves with good and kind friends, they will be inspired to be brilliant students. They recognize what are the good and bad behaviors.

From the three factors we have discussed, we can conclude that education is the most important agenda to prevent our young generations from being manipulated by the tough situation. Parents should enlarge their knowledge and skills how to teach their children. They should monitor their children from useless or harmful activities. Love your children and develop them to be humble young generation! Therefore, education comes in two forms, informal education from parents and friends, and education from schools, where knowledge is gained especially in academic fields.
