Cause of teenagers mischief

Cause of teenagers mischief

From Pikiran Rakyat

I am an organization instructor at a government-recognized private school in Bandung. The high school is not big and there are not many students. Despite this, it has carved itself a name with organizing instruction courses like mine.

About four years ago, when I was still a second grader at the institution I am now chairman of, there was another organization which held a camping excursion without informing the school first. The organization has often done this.

All high school organizations were disappointed that this happened because all camping activities were banned afterwards. From then on, only annual camping outings organized by the school were held. This caused several problems:

1. The organization no longer achieved much.

2. Activity proposals made at the last minute interfered with bookings to far away places.

3. Little student interest in joining the organization which led to the formation of groups of rioting students, gangs of girls, etc.

Since camping activities were banned, student mischief has increased. Police interference and checks have become a familiar sight.

The revival of camping activities has been tried by several parties, organization representatives, OSIS and teachers, but they drew no response from the principal or the association's chairman.

I, therefore, am requesting that the education and culture ministry settle the matter.

I am also appealing to parents to have their children join the school organization. Student organizations are an answer to the problem of student mischief.
