Causes of Irresponsible Adolescent Behaviour

• When parents refuse to perform their duties such as providing food, clothing etc. to children, the ladies may seek financial and emotional support from other sources and boys may fall into bad social vices

• Peer group pressure from colleagues to engage in drug abuse, steal, drinking alcohol causes bad adolescent behaviour

• Broken homes: When parents are no longer staying together. Children in turn stay with either of them and when complete care is not granted, bad behaviours set in

• Some television shows, magazines, adverts and movies tend to show nude and explicit pictures. This can influence young children to practice what they see.
