As society develops, our lives have improved a lot. Young people in Hong Kong are fortunate to get a good education. But these things bring with them responsibilities - mainly, the need for good behaviour.
I think young people are too hot-headed. When they get involved in disputes, they think violence is the solution. Also, many teenagers seem to lack aim and do not think about the consequences of their actions.
Teens are influenced by violence in the media. I think the media has to be more responsible and produce material that's less likely to lead young people astray. Unhealthy media should be banned.
We also need better co-operation between schools and parents. Schools need to discipline students and not only focus on academic results. Parents need to spend more time communicating with their children to bridge the generation gap.
