Several articles have been published on the alarming rate of indiscipline among the youth of your country. Write your contribution.

Explanation

ALARMING RATE OF INDISCIPLINE AMONG THE YOUTH OF MY COUNTRY

Indiscipline is the opposite of discipline, Discipline is a situation where every citizen of a country behaves in an orderly manner, obeys the laws of the land and respects the constituted authorities anytime or anywhere. But alas, all these cannot be realized among the youth of my country, Nigeria.

The youth of my country do not respect their parents at home. The youth exhibit immoral behaviours openly, not minding their parents, or other elderly people in the society. They do not have restrain in their conduct. This is so pathetic. The youth then used to respect the elders, possibly helping them in manual and domestic works, but now the story is different. The youth rather insult, abuse and flagrantly disrespect the elderly persons in the society. The youth smoke hallucinogenic drugs like Indian hemp popularly called marijuana, tramadol and all sorts of intoxicants, that make them ruthless and indisciplined.

Another reason responsible for the alarming rate of indiscipline among the youth of my country is the incessant cases of cultism.

They feel that they are superior to any other person who is not a member of any cult group, claiming that since they have access to guns and other dangerous weapons, they can maim, injure or even kill anybody that might want to restrain them on his way.

Another factor responsible for the alarming rate of indiscipline among the youth of my county is the inducement by our politicians. The politicians used the youth to cause mayhem to political opponents during elections, by providing them with guns and other dangerous weapons. After the election, the politicians may not be able to retrieve all the weapons from these youth. The youth will in turn use these weapons for armed robbery, kidnapping and on many occasions, the youth use the weapons to attack law enforcement agents, like the police or the army. Cases abound where such youth attacked the police in their stations, killed the officers and collect AK 47 from them. In most cases the culprits are caught and detained for further investigations, only to be released by the police because some of the leading politicians have gone to the station and paid a large sum of money to bail them out of detention, One may ask, who are those supporting the indiscipline of the youth is attributed to the decay in the societal my country? The answer is the politicians.

Moreover, the indiscipline of the youth in the country can be attributed to the decay in societal norms. The traditional values like respect, honesty, humility, integrity and dignity of labour ar
