  • Communicate your concerns to teens

Let them understand that you care for their well-being and do not doubt them. It is necessary to keep an understanding and calm approach while explaining your concerns. Give the required space to your teens and be honest with your approach. Let them understand that you need to know where they are going because you will be a help in case of any trouble. A firm and casual approach will help the teens to understand your real concerns and also, assure them that you are always available for help in case of any kind of crime of fears.


  • Anger Management Techniques

Teenage is a volatile phase of life in which the temper is high and hormones are racing high. With the peer pressure and external environment, the teens do foul things at any point of time. Even a small concern can lead to flaring tempers and the consequences are not good for anyone. So, it is better to encourage teens to develop some habits related to anger management techniques to handle their emotions and control their anger. Help them understand that anger is not bad, but it is also important to control anger.


  • Understand Whether They Are Bullied

It is usually found that teens engage in criminal activities when they are bullied, retaliated in any sense, or involved in bullying activities. The main objective is to stop bullying. You will notice certain behavior like uncontrolled aggression, provoked behavior, the sudden change in nature etc. If the teen is being bullied, they mostly turn distant and be in their own shell. So, it is important to keep an eye on these behavioral changes and understand the actual situation.


Finally, help them feel safe always. The vulnerability of the teenage makes them indulge in various criminal activities as they crave for affection, attention, and acknowledgment. You can work to improve the social life of the teens and make them an active participant in social functions and communities. Last but not least, teach them the importance of being a responsible citizen and law-abiding individual. Help them to stay away from the groups or friends who are indulged in criminal activities.
