Teenager’s problem to read the books
When scaling throughout the sizeable globe we could easily come to a conclusion that people in this modernized era are encountering vast number of problems. The problem I would like to emphasize about is something that will definitely leave a negative impact towards oneself and the country when the individual failed to notice its growth and development in their own body. Perhaps it would even be the downfall of a country’s economical level especially when it comes to competing with another nation or even globally. Yes, I am indeed talking about the lack of reading culture in our youths. For some this is not even a problem as it is just another trifling matter that they come across in their daily life yet they fail to notice that education is the single most essential factor in shaping the nation tomorrow as the saying goes education is the key to success. Furthermore, the educational level also reflects the image of a country to the neighbouring country as well. Ironically, teenagers nowadays do not seem to be paying a closer attention toward their academic level as a result of lack of reading culture. So, this raises a curiosity on what are the factors that propels them in cultivating this bad culture which will only tarnish their own image. The dominant factor which contributes towards this rampant problem would definitely be the negative influence of the friends.
