TEENAGERS ARE CANDITATES FOR UNSAFE PROTECTION
According to research by the Philippines National Security and Public Safety, the violence and outgrowing problem
in the Philippines is the safety insurance of what the youths are now producing. Liking to the facts that it is very easy for them
to be influence and have the misconceptions to what being an adult or child is like, it is very possible that in time the problem
to overpopulation will become a severe crisis to the future generation.
Several instances on how the teenagers are now influence in smoking, alcohol and drugs believe this is one way to
feel grown up and more mature. As of the result, these addictions have led several youths to do self harm to their body as of
suicide, emotional deprivation, unconsciousness and physical attachment to create violence against the society.
Nonetheless, this is one of the most popular and dangerous threats immensely growing in the population of the Philippines,
because of influence and the likes of losing hope and wanting to become a rebellion in the family, all most the same with
youths exposition to being familiar with these addictions from the society.
Nowadays it is very common for the youths to act normal in talking about sex to the other genders, this Boy Girl
Relations in the Teens have been continuously misunderstood that nothing could happen in a mutual relationship for them.
Although, sex education have been practically implemented in the country, many of the youths understanding especially for
those that are dating and for those that are sexually active have misunderstood that these contraceptives are the steps to
freedom in having the free obligation to use these items anytime they want. Hence, it is considered that only 70% of this
contraceptives work while the other 30% of the growth of teen pregnancy is happening. Unlike the past, this is a continuous
problem because of the violation of abortion, force labor, immature responsibility and poor decision skills that have led
many Filipino families to be at war and youths to find peace within their home. Also famous is human trafficking; it is
known in the world that the Philippines population is out-ruined by many foreigners especially in Cebu. Several cases have
happened were women have been violated through online dating sites, personal meetings and worse, death by rape. This

general health care that are advertised by models, celebrities and to the likes of the media and business world. With this
continuous rise of the young teenagers admiration, many especially in the women sides get self-conscious to have a diet.
Furthermore, many women deprive their own body by turning away from food, wearing makeup, fitting to uncomfortable
clothes and needs attention to be called beautiful. The continuous problem to these physical conditions they depict among
themselves leads to the problems of anorexia; a woman that weighs very small but thinks that she is obese. Several instances
in America have become anorexic and have died from hunger in their home, this have led to also the Philippines with the
usage and conception that all teen girls should be tall, skinny and have a good face; with this it also enlarges the problem of
self-worth, insecurity; to the like of always feeling negative about herself, peer pressure; on what everyone would think

SAFETY TEEN SOLUTIONS
With the many places and people to being violated in the society, we can conclude that we can never
get away from risks and dangers. They are everywhere; at home, at work and in the community. However, we can avoid
from being a continuous victim to these threats by doing the things that makes us more protected and conscious. In fact,
as a teenager we are always immune to the dangers in the society because we are very young, fragile and can easily be
violated by anyone. However, with every action that we plan to take, let us be attentive of the guideline that keeps us
alive and safe.
Teenagers should be equipped to shroud and be vigilant with every challenge in their life. They must be
aware to always be informed and knowledgeable, because the first step to being informed in their immediate world is to
always be more interested in the unforeseen events than using Facebook. Especially with our relationships with our
family and with God, teenagers should always spend more time with the most important people than taking habits in
fusing around with their peers. Since we cannot trust even our friend easily, we must not easily be played and be alert
when we are alone with the other gender. Also, youths must learn from their educators and from their own family, the
rights and laws that make them protected from violence. Following up with good moral support and inspiration are good
ways to be safe about the violence and relish problems that are affecting us.
As of having that presence of mind wherever we find ourselves in the road, sideways or even in our own
comfortable home, it leaves us to being in tune with what is going on. Always be surrounded with good companions that
we can trust and that they respect us.

Lastly, stay simple and modest, its true with what they say about teenagers and their lifestyle, most of the
population that are unaware and violated are those that are always showing off their wealth, body and more. This is the
truth publicly for the teenagers because they are exposing too many styles, especially when they discuss about gadgets
to envy their other friends.

Threat, danger and risks is never planned, it can happen at any time, it can be done by anyone that you or you
do not know, and you can be violated by all means by other people. There will be no sign telling you that this person
will or will not violate but the best way we can is to know what is safety education. Because that is a role responsibility
of everybody to feel safe, in trying to have the like and need to always want to try new things, young minds now
shouldnt waste any time to feel threatened or opposed by their relationships, they should stand up, speak to a wise
grown-up or call hotlines of the Philippines National Security if they think violence have been committed or experience
by another youth.
