Addressing Delinquency (Part III)

The article is the third part of a series on addressing delinquency in schools. While attention is focused on the Cyprus issue and the election of Erhurman, the author returns to the topic of delinquency (drugs, bullying, violence, vandalism) due to its importance for the new generation. He emphasizes the critical period of adolescence and the need for proper education. He examines the relationships between adolescents, noting that relationships with same-sex individuals in the early stages of adolescence are normal, while relationships with the opposite sex later are due to sexual curiosity or romance. He highlights the importance of sex education, with an emphasis on feelings rather than just facts. Finally, he recognizes the vital role of the teacher as a positive role model and the need for well-organized support programs for students.
