                                     Are boot camps a good idea for teenagers?

   The increase of violent behaviour among youth arround the world has led to the implementation of a new rehabilitation method called boot camp. Boot camps are places to send young people who have personal problems and behavioural issues. But, are boot camps a good idea? Personally, I think lots of young people can be helped by boot camps, nowadays. 

On the one hand, boot camps are a good idea because they help to improve teenagers' personal discipline by doing military activities run by former soldiers and experts in outdoor survival. Moreover, boot camps are a good way to keep teenagers away from mobile phones, video consoles and social media.

On the other hand, another advantage of boot camps is that, during their stay, teenagers improve their self- esteem, their confidence and their communication skills. Every evening they discuss values such as honesty, respect, integrity and courage. 

Even if many young people find boot camps quite tough at the beginning, it is clear that it is a good idea for those who need to change their behaviour towards their family and the society. As far as I am concerned, a boot camp is a life- changing experience!
