Juvenile Delinquency

There was a mother who lives in Jakarta told me that since the rampant cases of student brawls in Jakarta, he took the initiative to drop off and pick up his son who was in high school, a habit which he had never done before. How not to cringe, if students are not bandwagon-had come under attack?

Why students so often brawl, as if they already do not have common sense, and can not think where that is useful and what is not? Why too many teenagers are involved with drugs and free sex? What is wrong with all this?

As already covered in another article on this site, teens are those aged between 12-21 years. Teens will experience a period of physical and psychological development as follows:

Pre-pubertal period (12-13 years)

Puberty (14-16 years)

The end of puberty (17-18 years)

And adolescent periods Adolesen (19-21 years)

Pre-puberty (12-13 years)

This period is also called the pueral, namely the transition from childhood to adolescence. In girls, this period is shorter than the boys. At this time, there was a big change in adolescents, the hormone increased sexuality and begin the development of sexual organs as well as adolescent reproductive organs. In addition, the very rapid development of the intellect jga occur in this phase. As a result, these teenagers tend to be rather critical (because they feel all-knowing), which is often manifested in the form of defiance or disproof of the elderly, began to like the adult he considered good, and make it as a “hero” or hero. This behavior will be followed by mimicking everything done by the hero, like a haircut, style of speech, to worship the living habits.

In addition, adolescents in this age also tend to be more daring to express his heart’s desire, more boldly expressed the opinion, even to defend his opinions as strong as possible. This is often addressed by parents as insubordination. Teenagers do not want to be treated as a child again. They would rather hang out with the group that it deems appropriate with pleasure. They are also increasingly defy tradition of parents who are considered old-fashioned and no / less useful, and regulations which they say is reasonable, as should not be stopped by another place after school, and so on. They will increasingly lose interest to join in formal social groups, and tended to join the friends of his choice. For example, they will choose to play to where his best friend rather than with the family visit to a relative’s house.

But, at the same time, they also needed help and assistance is always readily available from parents, if they are not able to embody his desire. At this time is a critical moment. If parents are not able to meet the psychological needs to address the conflict at the time, teens will seek it from others. Parents should remember that the problems faced by teenagers, though for the old man is a trivial problem, but for teens it is a very, very heavy. Parents should not be thinking, “Geez … it’s the little things. The period you can not finish it? Fool you!”, And so on. But the attention as if the parents understand that the problem was very hard for teenagers, will be recorded in the adolescent brain is that parents are way out ang best for him. This will facilitate parents to direct the development of psychic children.

Puberty (14-16 years)

This period is also called early adolescence, where they are so prominent physical development. Teenagers are very worried about her physical development, and proud that it shows that he was not a kid anymore. At this time, adolescents become very unstable emotions resulting from the development of sexual hormones that are so rapidly. Strong sexual desire also began emerging during this period. In young women is marked by the arrival of the first period, whereas in adolescents pris marked by the arrival of the first wet dream. Teenagers will feel confused and ashamed about this, so parents should be with her as well as providing a good and true understanding of sexuality. If this fails to be handled properly, their psychic development, especially in terms of recognition of self / gender and sexuality will be disrupted. Cases of gays and lesbians began with the failure of many teenagers at this stage of development.

In addition, adolescents begin to understand about prestige, appearance, and sexual attraction. Because of the confusion they added emotional lability due to the influence of developmental sexuality, adolescent feelings difficult dive. Sometimes they are rude, sometimes soft. Sometimes dreamy, other times he was so cheerful. Adolescents in the social feeling is getting stronger, and they join a group that likes and make rules with his own thoughts.

The end of puberty (17-18 years)

At this time, adolescents are able to go through before with good, will be able to accept his nature, as both men and women. They are also proud because their bodies are considered to determine their self-esteem. This lasted a very short period. In young women, this period lasts shorter than boys, so the process of maturity more quickly accomplished young women than young men. Generally, physical maturity and sexuality have been achieved fully. But the psychological maturity has not been fully achieved.

Adolesen adolescent period (19-21 years)

In this period generally teenagers has reached perfect maturity, both in terms of physical, emotional, and psychic. They will learn various things in the abstract and begin to fight for an ideal derived from their minds. They began to realize that criticizing it is easier than living it. Her attitude towards life started to be obvious, like his ideals, interests, talents, and so on. The direction of his life as well as properties that stand out will be obvious in this phase.

Juvenile delinquency

Juvenile delinquency is usually done by teens who failed in his soul developmental processes, both during adolescence and in childhood. Childhood and adolescence lasts so briefly, with physical, psychological, and emotion so quickly. Psychologically, juvenile delinquency is a manifestation of the conflicts are not resolved properly in childhood and adolescent offenders. Often it is found that there is trauma in her past, rude and unpleasant treatment of the environment, as well as trauma to the environmental conditions, such as economic conditions which made him feel inferior, and so on.

Addressing juvenile delinquency, teenage emotions means re-arrange the shreds it. Emotions and feelings they were damaged because they feel rejected by family, parents, friends, and the environment since childhood, and the failure of the process of mental development of these adolescents. Traumas in his life must be resolved, these conflicts must be resolved psychological hang, and they should be given a different environment than the previous environment. The question is: who is it all work? Parents Did? While the parents were too dizzy to think about work and other living expenses. His brother-kah? They also have their own problems, perhaps they also have the same problem. Government-kah? Or who? Not easy to answer. However, providing a good environment early on, along with an understanding of the development of our children properly, will help reduce juvenile delinquency. At least not increase the number of cases.

Effect of Music on Children

Research shows that music, especially classical music influence the development of IQ (Intelligent Quotien) and EQ (Emotional Quotien). A child who from childhood accustomed to listening to music will be more developed emotional intelligence and intelligence compared with children who rarely listen to music. The meaning of the music here is music that has a regular rhythm and tones are regular, not the tones of “tilt”. Level of discipline of children who often listen to music is also better than children who rarely listen to music.

Grace Sudargo, a musician and educator said, “The basics of classical music in general comes from the rhythmic pulse of a human so he played a major role in brain development, the formation of the soul, character, and even the human body”.

Research shows, classical music compositions containing the tone fluctuates between high and low pitch tone will stimulate quadrant C in the brain. Until the age of 4 years, quadrants B and C in the brains of children will grow up to 80% with the music.

“Music is affecting people’s lives. Music has three important parts of beat, rhythm, and harmony,” says Ev. Andrew Walker in a lecture musical. “Beat affects the body, affecting the rhythm of the soul, while the harmony affects the spirit”. The most obvious example that greatly affects the body’s beat is in a rock concert. There can be no spectators or players in a rock concert that his body is not moving. Everything rocked with a vengeance, and even tends to loose control. We still remember the “Head Banger”, a twisting movement of the head to the rhythm of the loud rock music. And the body was followed as if without feeling tired. If our hearts are hard, try to listen to beautiful music, which has a rhythm (rhythm) is regular. The feeling we will be more tasty and light. Even abroad, the hospitals play a lot of beautiful songs to help cure his patients. It’s a proof, that greatly affect the rhythm of the human soul. While greatly affect the spirit of harmony. If we watch a horror movie, always sounding harmony (melody) heart-wrenching, hair-raising that makes us stand. In religious rituals are also widely used to bring harmony to the human spirit into the worship of nature. In the meditation, harmony of human hearing the sounds of nature around it. “Music is good for human life is a musical balance between the beat, rhythm, and harmony,” said Ev. Andrew Walker.

A biophysicist has conducted an experiment on the influence of music for the life of living beings. Two plants of the same type and age are placed in different places. One was placed close to the loudspeakers (speakers) that presents the songs slow rock and heavy rock, while other plants are placed close to the speakers that play songs that are beautiful and rhythmically regular. In a few days there a very noticeable difference. Plants are located near the speakers rock songs wither and die, while the plants are located near the speakers beautiful songs grow fresh and blooming. A proof that music really affect the lives of living things.

The universe was created by nature a very beautiful music. Thundering waves of the sea, the roar of the wind on the mountain, and the rain is very beautiful natural music. And has been proven, how music influences of nature to human life.
