5. Juvenile delinquency: Juvenile delinquency is a set of crimes committed by juveniles<br />

or children. A juvenile is a person, by some standards, who has not yet reached the age of<br />

maturity, or the legal age of 18 in some countries. Juvenile delinquency is a serious social<br />

issue because juveniles are capable of committing serious crimes.<br />

Many legal systems around the world take special procedures in dealing with juvenile<br />

delinquency. Many factors point out to the reasons why many young people resort to<br />

juvenile delinquency. In addition, one will soon find out that the delinquents should only<br />

receive a part of blame not all the blame for their actions. They are only victims of the<br />

situation. Pushed into committing these things and were not really left with much of a<br />

choice.<br />

6. Addictions: Genetic, biological/pharmacological, and social factors precipitate chronic<br />

conditions known as addiction. Addiction is characterized by the compulsive use of<br />

substances or engagement of behaviors despite clear evidence to the user of consequent<br />

morbidity and/or other harmful effects.” Addiction as mentioned above is a state wherein<br />

a person engages in a certain behavior or substance repeatedly and soon becomes highly<br />

dependent on this substance or behavior.<br />

This situation can cause harmful effects on the person, not only physically but also<br />

mentally, socially and financially not to mention the possibility of a run-in with the law.<br />

Addictions can cause homelessness because it may cause the person to squander the<br />

money that has been earned on this addiction. If this addiction becomes serious, it can<br />

cause great financial instability, and in turn may lead to homelessness.<br />

7. Schools: A school is a type of educational institution. The range of institutions covered<br />

by the term varies from country to country. In the United Kingdom, the term school<br />

refers primarily to pre-university institutions, and these can for the most part be divided<br />

into primary schools (sometimes further divided into infant school and junior school) and<br />

secondary schools.<br />
