Alarming Ascent of Aggressive Adolescents
The phenomenon of high school students and college youth indulging in mindless violence was until a few years ago restricted to the Western world, where parental care is thought to be substituted by nanny care. But of late, the undesirable trend is catching up in India too.

Only last month, in Mumbai, the country’s commercial metropolis, Adnan Patrawala the 16-year old son of a businessman, was lured into a death trap by friends whom he had met on Orkut.Com, a popular social networking website promoted by Google. Adnan had shared too much personal information with these friends from the virtual world whom he had never seen in person even once.

Realising that he hailed from an affluent family, the youngsters set up a “female trap” – they promised to introduce him to a girl named Angel, their own online creation. Adnan left his home after informing his parents that he was going out to meet his Orkut friends. Later, his body was found in an abandoned car.

A little later four boys in rural Delhi beat up a classmate to death over a petty quarrel.

Two months ago, a 14-year old boy Mahendran was killed in Salem district in the south Indian State of Tamil Nadu when his classmate dashed his head against a wall for refusing to lend a pen.

In that horrid incident in Bihar only a couple of days ago when ten persons were beaten to death, many of those seen bashing up the victims were in their prime of youth. One can easily imagine how those close to the victims would become brutalized in turn.
