Juveniles in Prison
All over the world teenagers are in prison for stealing, drug use, and sexual abuse. The teenagers that are in prison, here in Malawi, don’t receive a good enough health care, justice system, and help they need for when they are released. Most prisons and jails are going to be overcrowded and unsanitary. The youth in Malawi are overlooked, they are underprivileged and no one ministers to them. Now imagine, if you can, how many of the youth in prison are receiving less than a citizen living in the United States. Even in America the lower class earn more than people in Malawi. We as humans need to step up and do something about prison treatment worldwide.

All around the world kids are starting to let themselves go. You can see the impact by just looking, parents are letting their kids do things that parents in the seventies would never have even thought of. The world is falling apart at the hands of the next generation of humans. “Every country in the world is concerned with the safety and well- being of its children and young people”(Margaret 59). This is true every parent wants to see his or her kids do well in life but it doesn’t help when you let your kids do drugs or have sex before marriage. “They represent our future and our potential, but are also extremely vulnerable”(Margaret 59). If we continue letting go to the things we can control what happens when we hit something that is out of our control? We will cave and be destroyed. “Not every child becomes involved in delinquent behavior but it is a rite of passage for many”(Margaret 59). For many teenagers in the states it’s cool to be a rebel. Many kids will do drugs, be in relationships they aren’t ready for, and take on responsibilities that they cannot handle. As a teenager I have done things that I haven’t been ready for. I rebel because I think as an individual I can live on my own but I do not realize that without help I will get nowhere. Teenagers in this generation are angry, for reasons I don’t fully understand, and they victimize other kids. A cycle evolves out of this as young adults we pick on the younger generation and make them angry, then in turn when the get older they turn around and abuse the younger generation. “Young offenders have often been victimized themselves in childhood and begin to victimize others as they grow older”(Margaret 61). As a people group, man needs to stop letting go and take ahold of the reigns of his life. Then as parents help lead the reigns that their child is using. Without help the young generation race will fall into evil and ultimately
