Why does boredom lead to trouble
Introduction
A short time of boredom is probably a welcomed respite from the occupied week, however, when boredom becomes a lifestyle it leads to automatic negative thoughts that could lead to trouble “idle mind is said to be devils’ workshop”. Why does boredom lead to trouble? Because it gives you time to think about things that are not healthy without considering the consequences that follows the decision(Masiero, 2017). When a person is bored, they could have a higher risk to commit trouble, therefore boredom is a problem especially for teenagers who get easily influenced by their peers. On the other hand, it could lead to mental health issues due to feeling empty and emotionally angry with themselves. The most dangerous part is being bored when it becomes a lifestyle it could lead to many issues, as result it can lead individuals doubting themselves and feeling unwanted hence, hence having unhealthy lifestyle which can lead to death and also danger to others.
People who commit crimes and violence because they have nothing to do, they are bored and empty. When someone is bored, they start to think negatively, so they start to question themselves, in a worthless way. Moreover, they start to feed themselves with negative thoughts, and these negative thoughts could lead to crimes they will ask themselves why not? Why can’t I rob the grocery store? And that’s when they commit a crime. They believe when they commit a crime they will feel powerful, meaningful. According to (Masiero, 2017). “a handful of young homicide suspects and convicted killers have in recent years told authorities they were pushed by boredom to willfully take a random life and that state of listlessness may have ignited an urge for lethal excitement.” (P.51). For example, a 34 years old man killed an innocent woman, whom she is his neighbor, due to the fact he was bored and he remembered that early this morning she Yelled at him because he parked his car in front of her house. When the police investigate him, he says that he is bored and she deserves what she got. Boredom for some people could lead to negative consequences, those consequences could hurt them or others.
Besides, boredom can cause irrelevant and illegal sports due to the fact young adults often search for exciting ways to boost their energy. Especially teens feeling bored could lead them to do many bad things. When teens feel bored, they start to search for excitement and something fun to do(Masiero, 2017). However, that excitement could lead to bad behavior, the most effective way is peer pressure. Teens easily can be affected by their surroundings, when teens surround themself with bad influence, the bad influence could affect them when they are bored by pushing them to try new things such as drugs and smoking. According to Joseph Califano, the chairman and president of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (2003) “teens will smoke, drink, get drunk and use illegal drugs increases sharply if they are frequently bored”. That shows teens have a high risk to do illegal stuff when they are bored. For example, a teen got addicted to drugs due to Boredom and peer pressure, one day she was bored so she got high on drugs and overdosed, which Led to her death. In most cases, these outcomes result in peer pressure to be associated with negative exercises. Teens are the most targeted when it comes to boredom, they are still trying to find themselves. That could lead them to trouble.
Finally, even though it might appear to be stunning that just being bored can prompt such genuine results, it bodes well. All things considered, on the off chance that you wind up with nothing to do, you might be bound to go after a sweet treat or a pack of chips. Doing this regularly enough could bring about weight gain. In case you’re exhausted to the point of disappointment you will be surly. Furthermore, feeling like you don’t have anything to do can be a trigger of sadness. Somebody who is exhausted is probably not going to be persuaded to keep up a solid way of life. Maybe exhausted individuals are bound to depression and anxiety, heart problems. Researchers found that people who reported being bored in the workplace were 2.5 times more likely to die of a heart problem (Adams ital. 2017). At the point when somebody is exhausted, it is seen that they are probably not going to work out, eat well, or keep up a healthy way of life.
Moreover, competitors of that being exhausted lead to making issues that call attention to that fatigue positively affects the general strength of individuals. The mind just five percent less vitality than when continually being busy. However, weariness, in reality, prompts the absence of certainty, absence of character affirmation, and depression. Along these lines, truly, boredom kills individuals. Dr. Christopher Cannon, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard University (2010) Argued that “Someone bored may not be motivated to eat well, exercise, and have a heart-healthy lifestyle. That may make them more likely to have a cardiovascular event.”
In conclusion, hire risk boredom prone people they lack dopamine activity in the mind, meaning they need high level of novelty to stimulate their brains and they mostly suffer antisocial behaviors Second reason peer pressure with teenagers that could lead them to do bad behavior is because they are aboard such as smoking and drugs that could lead to their death. Boredom often occur when you are un able to change the situation and have little control making you dislike the ethical activities leading to an individual becoming pathologically unstable
