/^t/Polish society has faced many serious social problems during recent years. The most important of them is unemployment which personally concerns over two million people being in their prime. The fact that lots of young people graduate from their schools and have absolutely nothing to do, nothing to spend their time on, is even more frustrating. They have no perspectives and try to find an outlet for their energy. This energy of youth coupled with depression and passiveness may lead to violence. As a result, the crime rate among young people increases, they become more and more brutal and, what is even more dangerous, they also become younger and younger. That change towards brutality may be due to the weakening of family ties as well as the lack of proper behavioural patterns to follow. School and parents do not fulfill their task of forming the youngsters' morale and character.
