Composition 08: Are boots camps a good idea?

     A boot camp is a physical training camp. Teenagers who have behaviour problems usually go there, not only to learn military skills. They go there to improve their behaviour too. Whether I am for or against these camps, it depends on the perspective. 

    I think they are a good idea but only for a certain kind of young people. Many of them are interested in military services and go to these places on purpose and even enjoy their stay. There, they get fit, gain muscle and resistance, and learn values ​​such as responsability, discipline and motivation.

    Other young people are simply sent to these places by their parents because they have serious behaviour problems. On some occasions, staying in the boot camps helps them a lot and even changes their lives, but in other circumstances, teenagers have a very bad experience, they feel terrible and this experience is useless for them.

    As far I am concerned, it depends on the person who is going to go if boot camps are a good idea or not. It is a question of the way of being of each one and of how their behaviour was before entering there. As I see it, parents should think of other options before sending their children to these places, because it may not always go well.
