many needs which force them to fulfill.

Juvenile delinquency is one of the nations serious problems. Concern

about this problem shared by federal, state, and local government officials and by
the public. In recent years, teenager delinquencys concern has grown with the
dramatic rise juvenile violence that began in the mid-1980 and peaked in early
1990s. Although the juvenile crime rates appear to have fallen since the mid-
1980s, this decrease has not alleviated the concern.

Juvenile delinquency is an activity or action which is immoral. It means

this action breaks the social norm, religion, and law. There are so many factors
can cause juvenile delinquent. It can come from the juvenile or outside. One of the
examples is when the teenager does not feel at home. So they will go to find
another place to make them comfort because they think that home is not their
place. It is an internal factor. From the external factor can be like a lack of parents
notification. It makes them want to get another notification from their
surrounding. If the environment is bad, they will get influenced to do the bad
thing such as criminality.

Teenagers who become involved in the criminal justice system are much

Drugs are chemicals that change the way a persons body works. If youve

physical and psychology.
Why people use illegal drugs? Sometimes kids and teens try to fit in with a
group of friends. Or they might be curious or bored. Someone may use
illegal drugs for many reasons, but often because they help the person
escape from reality for a while. A drug might-temporarily-make someone
who is sad or upset feel better to forget about problems. But this escape
lasts only until the drug wears off. Using drugs never solve problem, but it
surely cause other problems the person had in the first place. The people
who uses drugs can become addicted on it.
