// This is a British newspaper article which tries to explain why teenagers are attracted to certain teenage ‘cults’ groups whose beliefs and behaviour are considered to certain strange, unnatural or harmful but it becomes very popular or fashionable for a short period of time. //

 What is cult ?



 Cults are groups or movements exhibiting an excessive devotion or dedication to some person, idea or thing.

 Ever since the early 1950’s there have been attempts to explain why youth cults happen. None of them has been entirely convincing.

 The reaction Theory

 Teenagers want to show how different they are from their parents and their older brothers or sisters. If the last fashion had long hair and wide trousers. Then the next one will have short hair and narrow trousers. There seems to have lots of truth in this. 

 The Global Village Theory

 Teenagers are aware of what their contemporaries are doing all arond the world because of films, records, television and radio. As soon as there were hippies in San Francisco, we had them too almost. A problem with this theory is the time must be right for a style to be adjusted.

 The Teenagers Idol Theory

 Teenagers imitate the people their favourite singers and film stars. For example; when Selena Gomez use a new eyeshadow most of her female fans do it. It can be good or bad but she is a famous and she did it.

 The Technology Theory

 Many development in teenage culture were possible because of new technology. Electric quitars meant you could heve pop groups and pop festivals. This is an encouraging belonging for a young to feel teenager and adopt teenager cults.

 However, this cults can be dangerous for teenagers in some respects. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Some bright and creative young teens are attracted to Satanic rituals they believe will give them power over their own lives and over others. Often young teens are just "dabblers" in Satanic rituals, but even casual involvement can be dangerous. There have been teen suicides and parental killings as a result of such involvement. And casual involvement can lead to recruitment into organized Satanic groups <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Recently experts have been <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> t <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">racking the growth of cult-like mass therapy groups--some of which have been trying to establish educational programs in elementary and high schools.



<span style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;"> What Can Parents Do ?

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Parents can do many things to help prevent their children from joining a malware cult. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Keep the lines of communication with their children open. They should stay in touch with what's happening in their lives during their difficult transition period to becoming independent adults. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Cult recruiters prey on youngsters' insecurities. They should build up their child's selfesteem. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS',sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> They shouldn’t pressure on them too much to be "successful." Children are often overwhelmed by parents' and schools' demands, and cults offer an easy way off the treadmill of stress and pressure. Help them to deal with the normal stress of living in our complicated world.
