METHODS TO PREVENT SCHOOLCHILDREN’S INCLINATION TOWARDS ASOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

Abstract. In this article, the author presents noteworthy reflections on an issue that deeply concerns society. In her view, the Azerbaijani people’s long-standing commitment to national values, customs, traditions, and national ideology has contributed to socio-economic progress and played a positive role in shaping a healthy lifestyle for all.

Although many teenagers voluntarily participate in school-related public activities in recent years, there are still pupils who display a superficial attitude towards national values, customs and traditions, personal social engagement, moral values, and education.

Unfortunately, among those who use substances leaving harmful marks on human life, there are pupils of younger age as well. This deeply worries every one of us. We must fight not only against such tendencies, but also against the individuals who spread these harmful habits among children. Since teenagers advance through life on fragile steps and their willpower is weak, leading them astray is very easy, and there are those who skilfully exploit these weaknesses.

The author points out that the number of people worldwide who die from drug addiction, tobacco products, and alcoholic beverages far exceeds the number of those who perish during natural disasters and wars. The time has come to say "no" to such antisocial acts, and every citizen must join forces in this struggle.
