First of all let us say thanks to The Almighty for given us grace, guidance, and the never ending

blessing to us so we can gather in this place. Today, I would like to deliver my speech on juvenile
delinquency. Teenagers like us are emotionally fragile and unstable, has high curiosity and likes to try
new things. So it is not a new thing that some students are involved in criminal activities such as free
sex, drugs, gangster, and any other criminal actions. Juvenile delinquency itself is a crime committed
by children or teenagers under 18 years old. Delinquency itself is an act which cannot be accepted by
the society. Teen age is a transition from childhood into adulthood. The children are experiencing the
development process however some of them are succeed to become good adults meanwhile the
other are falling for juvenile delinquency actions. One of the strongest factors that make teenagers
being defiant is wrong friendship.

My friends,

I will take one of the juvenile delinquency examples which is drugs. Drugs are illegal medicines which
endanger the teenagers’ lives. Prevention is better than medication, drugs need to be stop from now
before it takes more lives. I will explain about several ways to keep us away from drugs. The most
important thing is let us be more faithful to our religion, there is no religion who allows human to
consume things that endanger the human’s life. Try to understand about the religion’s significance
so religion can guide you into the right path. You will understand which is right or wrong for you if
you can value your faith. The second thing is to strengthen your bond with your family members. The
family role in the effort of drugs prevention is very enormous.

Parents are the first teacher for their children so I encourage you to be a smart father and mother for
your children in the future. Parents should nurture the children to be a responsible human. Parents
will always direct the children to do positive thing, all that we can do is to follow and be obedient to
their directions. Parents know what is right or wrong for us so if our parents limit our activities or
social life, please understand that they are doing that because they love you. The third factor that
will leads into teenager delinquency is friends. Some of us might be spending more time with friend
instead of family. Slow but sure, your behavior will be affected by your friends. Moreover teenagers
have high curiosity therefore it is very dangerous to be friend with friends who like to do negative
things. Last but not least, we will be categorized as geeky or outdated. Some teenagers assume that
they are cool if they try to smoke, drugs, or brawl.

The fact is staying away from juvenile delinquency is not an easy task to do, we should bare it when
some of our friends said that we are outdated, geeky, or being bullied. Let us keep this in mind, drugs
or any other juvenile delinquency activities will destroy our life. Juvenile delinquency is hard to be
eliminated but we can overcome that if we are motivated to stay away from those harmful actions.
Let us fill our teen age life with positive activities that will be beneficial for family, nation, and our
beloved country. Thank you for your attention, see you!
