(UN, 2010). Families or individuals, depending on their circumstances may embark on moving permanently to a foreign country to escape being trapped, killed, or hurt in the upheaval in their individual countries., Statistics, Include some statistics here to support your point., Stigma of Immigrants, On arrival and being granted leave to remain in the foreign country, they assume the stigma of ‘immigrants’, which immediately puts pressure on those affected., Cultural Challenges, According to Marris, (1980), immigration involves two interrelated experiences, because those migrating lose a good degree of identity, familiarity, and support which threatens the ‘self’. There is the added notion that the immigrant feels the pressure of having to cope with so many cultural variations in the foreign environment., Expectations vs. Reality, The idea of moving into a foreign country as an immigrant for whatever reason and with great expectations might be fraught with difficulties, including not knowing what the host country will present., Family Decisions, Decisions to relocate as a family to a foreign country as immigrants are often made by parents, without any input from the developing children, creating uncertainties and distress due to the dual challenge of the children’s identity reconstruction and as emerging adults., Discrimination and Violence, Cultural differences and language variations between citizens of the host country and immigrants could generate perceived discrimination that could lead to a forced way of learning, intensifying stress levels, reducing self-esteem, and leading to possible violence because of perceived denial of social integration., Adolescent Immigrants, Research also indicated that violence among some adolescent immigrants appeared to be fostered by repeated negative experiences that are reinforced by groups who share similar problems., Juvenile Delinquency, A study on the Population Census of Israel (2008) found that juvenile delinquency known by the social control agencies is adolescents aged between twelve to eighteen making up 14% of the delinquent population., Deviant Behavior, The deviant behaviour studied among adolescent immigrants includes substance abuse, bullying in gangs, and attitudes toward sexual violence., Double Lives, Although some adolescent immigrants excelled academically, this fact did not in any way prevent deviant behaviour as it was found that they lived double lives or practiced double standards in their dealings.
