Answer 1

Look at the statistics. Yes parenting is usually attributed to juvenile delinquency.

Answer 2

I would say that parenting is first in line for juvenile delinquency. Of course kids don't come with instructions. But society has come to think that discipline is abuse; which is total bull. Parenting is a full time job in itself. You have to start teaching a child respect of elders and society at a young age; yes, they might be afraid when they are disciplined but that will soon turn to respect. You can't start applying discipline when they are teens; the damage is already done. You can't give a kid everything they want when they are growing up. That's a big mistake! Then I have known parents that did everything to give their kids the proper discipline and love at home and the kid just goes his own way like a wild thing. You might want to consider behavioral problems like ADD or other behavioral disorders in supporting your argument. Because other than that, the way a kid turns out is directly related to how they were parented. Godloveya.

Answer 3

well, the answer is a bit messy to start with,my parents were uneducated never had the time to talk or spend with me in my early days, i was considered a juvenile delinquent as i used to skip schools,hang out with friends n get into the best school.parents we can never blame them coz it is u doing it to prove u re someone what they could try is to give you housing education pocket money and others.In the end it is you facing the society how hard you try.In the end,they always say see i saw your daughter or son with someone or somewhere not vice verse!It is always we to take care of our lives.Parents lay the steps.we have to learn to walk,skip or run.Factors can just accelerate but the decision finally is whose!(Still thinking about it even after being a mba graduate still living with my family and having a very respectable profession)Let us find out soon!

Answer 4

You are wrong. The majority of juvenile offenders stem from broken families, delinquent parents, no family structure, drug abusing parents etc. There are exceptions to the rule, but those are the statistics.

Answer 5

Parents do not always understand the need of constant companionship for children.
Some communities have set up boys and girls clubs to accommodate this.

Also trust relationships, consequences and rewards must be set up from birth on or a child will naturally rebel.

I let my 8yo have 15 minutes out of my sight.
This gives him the beginning for Independence.
I watch him at times without his knowledge, only to observe what he is capable of.
Recently I allowed him to play with the neighbors for hours without any checks.

When I see he is ready, I will allow him to walk to the library, or visit a friend farther away.

The less trust he has the more he rebels.
So if he does well he earns the right to certain freedoms, and if he makes a bad choice he looses them.

Answer 6

It can depend on the parents or the environment a child is brought up in. But like most people of any age.... there is a choice when it comes to right and wrong. People blame parents and the way they were brought up, but honestly there is only so much you can blame other people for. It's how you choose to live and the choices you make for yourself whether your 9 or 90. Look at the royal family. Generation after generation of missfits. But as adults they have a choice and they continue to make the wrong choice.

Answer 7

I'm sure a large %age are attributable to the parents, but I believe it has to do wit who the child associates himself wit. Take myself for example, my parents are the best...but I still ended up going out at times while a youngster drinking and causing trouble in my community...I never was caught though. I think i ended up that way because I hung around wit my older cousins and older friends who partied. Now that I'm 21+ I have no desire to drink, it was that excitement of drinking while underage that is partly to blame. I'm now 1 yr from graduating from graduating from asu's business school...accounting...my how times change.

Answer 8

yes
