Impoliteness or more easy understood as rude behavior is a problem that frequently happens nowadays among youths. I believe that impoliteness has to be seen as negative attitude towards specific behaviors. This situation commonly associated with teenagers because they have a low level of patience rather than children and the elderly.
In my opinion, impolite speech acts, such as reproaching, threatening and insulting are performed by youths with the purpose of attacking or undermining someone else. There are several examples of impoliteness by people in daily life:
- Murders, theft and drugs
- Illegal racing
- Failure to dress appropriately during occasion
- Cutting in line
- Snobbery
- Yawning, burping, coughing or sneezing without covering mouth
- Aggressive driving
- Yelling to others
- Scold someone in public
- Disturbing others with noise or loud music
There are more other social problems which involved teenagers. There are some major factors contributing to these occurrences are bad parenting, peer influences, and technology.
Firstly, when we said about bad parenting, of course this all leads back to lazy parents. Family especially parents play an important role to make sure that their children did not involved in unhealthy activities. There are many teenagers who involved in serious problems lack of love and attention from their parents. Parents actually suppose to instill important values in their children lives. Usually, two working parents just cannot teach kids how to behave properly because they have lack of time to spend with their child. Then, they would growing up and show their improper behavior among neither families nor communities.
Secondly is peer influences among youths. For example like bullying cases at school or institutes. These behaviors tell us quite a bit about the person using those behaviors. If we do not respect ourselves, we cannot honestly respect others. If we treat others with disrespect, we are generally treating ourselves with the same disrespect. We cannot give something to others that we do not have in ourselves. Some of people take bullying others as fun. As well as watching others been bullied. This is actually one of the inappropriate actions among general people. Besides, a teenager love to take risk. In early adolescent years, youth are courageous and may have high risk behaviors. For them, the more challenging and risky the activities, the more excitement and satisfaction they get. So, we can assume that the teenagers who love to take risk are always influence by their friends.
Thirdly, technology is also one of the factors contributing to these occurrences. For example, Cell phones and digital communication in general have completely changed the way people interact. Kids are so attached to their gadgets. Children devote an average of seven hours and 38 minutes to entertainment media each day and 66 percent of those kids own cell phones. The Internet and cell phones have let all impolite evils infiltrate the once polite and culture. Normally this behavior would carry away until they become teenager.

From the factors we have discussed, we can conclude that the most important to reduce this problem is education. This is because perfect education will be able to prevent our young generations from being involved in impoliteness behavior as long as they can think wisely for the long term effects. Other than that, parents should identified their weakness and improved knowledge and skills on how to treat their children. They should monitor their children from useless or harmful activities. Parents should show their love to the children and develop them so that they can serve the country in future.
