Uncontrollable Teenagers | Problem Children

It is completely normal in the development of most adolescents for children and teenagers to occasionally stray from the proverbial “right path.” However, sometimes these are not just temporary lapses; many teens end up persistently on the “wrong track.” This is often influenced by the social environment within their peer group. By observing the child in question, our Düsseldorf detectives can identify the causes and key figures behind worrying developments: +49 211 9874 0021.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Among Teenagers

A common reason for children withdrawing from their parents, declining school performance, aggressive behaviour, and other negative developments is the consumption of alcohol and/or illegal drugs. In the impressionable teenage years, starting around age 13, adolescents often choose the wrong role models, or their admiration goes too far, so that the positive aspects of a role model are not critically distinguished from negative character traits and behaviours. For example, a drug-addicted musician may serve as an idol to be unconditionally emulated, or admiration may focus on an older teen in their immediate social environment who uses drugs and disregards laws and norms, appearing “cool.”

Once your child has entered the drug scene, it becomes difficult for them to leave it on their own. Firstly, the problem often begins with a lack of critical awareness: the teenager does not perceive their chosen path as problematic and therefore sees no reason to change. Secondly, the financial problem of acquiring addictive substances often leads to acquisition-related crimes: shoplifting, stealing from parents or friends, selling drugs independently, and thus slipping into the role of a drug dealer. In the worst cases, affected teenagers may even offer sexual services to pedophiles for money.

It goes without saying that parents have a duty to investigate at the first suspicion. If you require assistance, the private detectives of Kurtz Detective Agency Düsseldorf are available by phone, in person, or via email at kontakt@kurtz-detektei-duesseldorf.de.

Falling Into the “Wrong Scene” – Negative Influences in Peer Groups

When adolescents go astray, it is usually due to various negative influences. Of particular importance here is the effect of peer pressure. In addition to the alcohol and drug issues described above, peer pressure can lead to violence, theft, and burglary. In many groups, it is considered a test of courage to physically attack or humiliate others (usually weaker peers), commit shoplifting, damage vehicles, houses, or other property, or even threaten people with weapons. Teenagers who succumb to such peer pressure can jeopardise their future permanently at a very young age. As guardians, you are required to intervene immediately.
