“…Social issues such as sexuality and social justice grow essential during this time. In Helmer's work "Reading queer counter-narratives in the high-school literature classroom," he came out in front of his students to dispel their stereotypes of the homosexual group, demonstrating that "homosexual individuals are the same" and should not be considered "different" [20]. He stresses the significance of teaching diversity and inclusivity to students.…”

“…He stresses the significance of teaching diversity and inclusivity to students. Since middle school is an ideal time to teach students about the importance of gender, ethnicity, and other characteristics in society, courses on gender, sexuality, and social justice might be created for students in grades 5 through 12 [20]. Primary sex education and social behavior classes on the physical differences between males and girls may be available in the future for children in grades 5-8.…”

The educational process plays a vital role in human development, cultivating a better future from childhood. The topic of juvenile delinquency, which is on the rise, is one of the difficult issues attracting the attention of many psychologists and educators. Young criminals are not stereotyped to be bad members of society, and the impact of child and adolescent education may contribute to their misbehavior. Juvenile delinquents' education since childhood, such as family and school education, affects their behavioral changes and individual values as they mature. Varied social changes and surroundings impact the rate of juvenile delinquents. This study explores the influence of child and adolescent education on juvenile delinquency in three aspects: the effect of family education, school education, and social environment. A qualified family education, such as educational levels, familial environment, and neighborhood environment, shapes children's good values from a young age, preventing the occurrence of juvenile delinquency. School education equipped with moral education courses, positive teacher-student relationships in school, and a democratic learning environment creates a better curriculum to educate children and adolescents to step into society, lowering the risk of juvenile delinquency. Children's development and behaviors are also influenced by social surroundings, including social insecurity, historical and cultural context, and child socialization. In addition to corrective measures and evidence-based practices in juvenile detention facilities, additional steps, like mandating more effective transition planning, are necessary and urgent. These include aftercare to give them access to basic education or employment opportunities after release, assisting them in better reintegrating into society and making their contributions. A successful reentry into the community requires an effective transition procedure and high-quality support services.
