Essay 2. Several articles have been published on the alarming rate of indiscipline among the youth of your country. Write your contribution.

Model answer

Model outline (article/opinion piece): Introduce the issue — indiscipline is increasing alongside youth over-population, manifesting as crime, decadence, disregard for laws and elders, and risky behaviours. Discuss causes: lack of delayed gratification/desire for quick wealth influenced by social media; negative peer influence; poor parental guidance and lack of alternative structures (mentorship, training centres) for youths without close supervision. Conclude with a call to action: parents, teachers, community leaders, and authorities must together enforce firm, consistent measures and promote proper social conduct/discipline.
