Welcome you dear ones to another week. Hope you enjoyed your weekends. I did too from my own side.

It is another wonderful busy week I. This lovely community. I will be starting with this contest entitled ** Aggression Among youths-Causes and effects** hosted by Steem4Nigeria.

The world we live in is a lovely one, beautiful and having everything we need to make it enjoyable. The rising and setting of the sun are all spectacular displays of nature. The varieties of most things we see are a beauty to behold. However despite all these, we can quite agree that happiness seem to evade individuals, cities and the country at large. One of the reason for this can be attributable to the disgraceful actions of youths within our locality.

We see our youths and young ones becoming very aggressive to the extent that they make life unbearable for people. In the course of this contest, we are going to see the cause, effects and ways to solve aggressions.

Aggression is a situation where a person or an individual becomes unstable which may make or cause him to inflict physical or mental harm both to himself and others.

Some of the characters associated with aggression are

Violence
Shouting
Swearing
Use of foul language on others
Gossipping
Slandering.
etc.

Aggression can be seen amongst people all ages, whether old or young, small or big. Even little kids possesses such trait.

However, this bad trait is very prevalent amongst youths and young ones compared to their grown counterparts. Theirs are also very much destructive as well since most times, once such impulsive idea comes up, they cannot control themselves any longer.

There are several factors that can contribute to a person being aggressive. These are listed below:-

° Hunger

° Poverty

° Difficult hard times.

° Desire for independence

° Educational stress

° Failed relationships

° strong tension within the family circle and friends

° mentally sick and health conditions.

° Taking of mind altering drugs.

The effects of aggression can be very devastating and can bring about lasting harm. If care is not taken it may even cost someone's life. These effects are:-

^ It can lead to disunity within the family, divorce and separations. Thus children will now be trained by single parents which is not good.

^ The individuals personal relationship with others will be damaged.

^ It can result to physical injuries due to fighting and reckless behavious caused by such aggressiveness.

^ It can cause severe depression on the individual, which may likely lead to bad mental health.

^ The individuals performance in school and at work will be negatively affected. The performance will definitely be poor, which may lead to a loss of job and inability to secure another employment.

^ It can also lead to involvements in legal problems, payment of fines, alimony, spending time in prisons and financial instability.

These are just some of the effects of aggression.

Aggressions is a negative behaviour, but it does have is solutions if only the individual is able to apply them in his life.

To avoid being aggressive, we need to adapt and apply the following on our lives.

∆ while setting goals, we need to set achievable and clear expectations.

∆ we need to be accomodating, tolerant and understanding. Especially so, when people from different cultures are involved.

∆ we should strive had avoid negative talks, jealousy, slandering or making judgement without getting the real facts.

∆ We need to love people, be kind to them. As much as possible do not struggle for power with people, encourage and help people positively.

∆ when burdened by stress of life or from our personal struggles, we need to do the best we can and leave the rest on God's hand. With full confidence that he will certainly care and provide for us.

∆ Avoid taking unprescribed drugs just to feel high.

Everyone have a level of aggressiveness in him. But it becomes so obvious due to certain circumstances in life makes it to manifest itself the more in an individual.

However, we can do well to limit its manifestation in our lives by applying some of those points mentioned above.

I invite @madilyn02, @benson6 and @eliany to participate in this contest.
