Thereasonofthisvandalismismainlyrelatedtothepeoplewhoareoutofboredomandtheshortageofsecurity.Nowadays,mostteenagersliketospendtheirtimethroughhangingoutwithfriends.Whentheyhavenothingtoplayoranyrecreationalactivities,theplaygroundmaybetargetedasanamusementforspendingtheirtime.Duetoteenagersarenowintheprocessofbuildingself-worthandself-esteem,theywilltrytodosomethingoverinordertogetthepeerrecognition.Forinstant,theteenagerspretendtobealeaderthroughdestroyingthefacilities.Intheserecentyears,theseselfishandirresponsiblebehaviorsunderthefabricating,exaggeratingfromsocialmedia,startedbecomingrationalized.That’swhytheplaygroundvandalismhappens.Secondly,itisbecauseoftheshortageofsecurityguards.Ifthereissecurityguardcheckingtheplaygroundregularly,todeteranyvandalismpromptly,thisphenomenonwillnothappen.
