Lesson 3.3
Reading: Rebel guys
Objective: To identify specific information in a simple factual text.
Students can identity a lot of information about the behavior, attitude of adolescents and
teenagers.
A) Read the article quickly and choose the best title for the text.

Nowadays, the antisocial behavior of children or teenagers is considered a serious

problem all over the world. It is caused by economic, social and cultural factors. They
affect especially marginal sectors of urban areas in many cities, where children are
exposed to violence either as observers or as victims. This results in serious cases of
juvenile delinquency.
Our country is also affected by this situation. Although most legal systems prescribe
specific procedures for dealing with young criminals such as detention centers, the first
step to control this group is to promote campaigns planned to sensitize youth about the
negative effects of violence in their familiar nucleus and community. It is also important
to focus on the family and its main role in the prevention of juvenile delinquency and the
necessity of communicate without violence.
The Ecuadorian government should generate plans focused on education, employment
and leisure programs, as well as assisted guides for those girls and boys who come from
broken families or have dropped out school.
It is not enough to have laws that repress disorientated adolescents, but also provide
measures to show equality and justice by creating an atmosphere of hope and peace for
our children.
