Causes of social vices

  1. Peer pressure:  This is the main cause of youth involvement in social vices because students spend more time with their friends in school or at home, due to their weak nature and tender age they can be easily influenced.
  2. Negligence by parents or broken homes: Lack of parental care, supervision and attention can make a child engage in social vices.
  3. Less or no monitoring of an individual’s activities in church; When members are allowed undue freedom in the church, social vices are bound to creep in
