Youngsters nowadays are getting more and more hot-headed and are becoming more daring. They always use their fist to fight their way through everything, thinking that by fighting they will be able to solve the problems. By winning the fight, they will feel that they achieved something. 

This recent gang-fight incident at Jelapang road, caused 7 youths to be injured and sent to the hospital. This case involved slashing of innocent parties. The group of gangsters did not slash them for a valid reason, they just wanted to make a din and create trouble. They asked the other party if they were from another gang affiliation, when they wasn't. Before the innocent party could react, they started attacking them with long knives.  

I feel that youngsters nowadays are getting more and more out of hand. Mostly, it should be due to lack of parental guidance. Most of their parents should be always working, coming back home only late at night. This caused them to be led astray, mixing with the wrong friends outside, giving them the opportunity to create trouble. Giving them right counselling would be able to help them understand that what they are doing is wrong and might be able to help them come back into the right track. We should take more time to understand these youngsters and understand why they do the things they do. Help should be given to them, in order to reduce the occurrence of gang fights in Singapore.
