Increasing Numbers of Underage Drinking

Nowadays, more and more teenagers and adolescent are being caught for underage drinking. Why is this so? This is because those selling beer and alcohol does not care and does not bother to check if the people are below 18 years old although they know that this is against the law. They only cared if the teenagers could afford to pay the money for the beer. If the teenagers get drunk, they could get into brawls. Teenage girls that get drunk could also get raped or being physically bullied by other people. Therefore, I sat that this shopkeepers that sells beer and alcohol are being very irresponsible.

However, I am not blaming the entire fault on these shopkeepers. The teenagers have to be blamed too. These teenagers are surely aware that underage drinking is not allowed in Singapore. However, they still drink when they are underage. The reason behind this is simply because they did not study well and often failed their exams, therefore, they think that everything is over and drown their sorrow in beer and alcohol. Most people would think that their parents are at fault too. However, in most of the time, their parents do not know where they are going as they just say that they are going out with their friends. Let us go back to the topic again. Why are there an increasing amount of teenagers drinking when they are underage? In my opinion, I think that this is because the standard of the exams are getting harder and harder and thus, more teenagers are failing their exams and felt that they have no potential in studying and gave up.
