Teenagers are the generation that will bring the fundamental changes in our society one day. It can be
still very difficult to determine what is good and what is bad when you are in adolescence. That is why
teenagers face many social problems. Vandalism has become one of the heaviest problems among
teenagers nowadays. It is considered to be a crime against beauty. Vandalism is the action involving
damage or deliberate destruction of private and public property. The places that are usually
vandalized are schools, parks, public places, railway stations, and bus stations. People who are
responsible for vandalism do not respect the public property and do not care about the community
they live in. There can be many reasons why people can do such horrible things. Some people are
just angry at society and authorities. There are young people who just seek attention because they
are deprived of parental care or abused at schools. The worst thing is when people do it just for fun
without thinking that the smallest act of vandalism can cause a lasting effect on people who surround
you. abused at schools.
