A slide is shown during a news conference hosted by the Professor Huang Kun-Huei Education Foundation in Taipei yesterday. Teenagers experiencing negative peer pressure in school, and frustration with coursework and teachers were seen as factors that could lead to teenage delinquency. Asked which preventive measure schools should take, 76.2 percent of the respondents said that schools should help develop students’ interest in learning. Nearly 72 percent said that schools should nurture positive attitudes, while 60.3 percent said schools should teach teenagers how to control their emotions. However, 76 percent still saw teenage delinquency as a serious issue, compared with 80 to 90 percent in the past, he said.
