Controversial Video from Guanacaste School Sparks Outrage on Social Media

A clip featuring students from Liceo de Nicoya discussing drugs and insulting teachers goes viral, igniting debates on youth behavior and parental responsibility.
A video featuring students from Liceo de Nicoya in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, has recently gone viral, attracting significant attention on social media platforms.

The short clip, lasting just over a minute, depicts students in a simulated version of the popular dynamic known as 'Quéjese aquí' where they voice complaints about their teachers and express desires to consume drugs within the school premises.

In the video, one student expresses frustration over being prohibited from using drugs at school, while others complain about dress codes, specifically highlighting a restriction against wearing miniskirts.

Many students used strong language and derogatory terms aimed at the teaching staff, which has raised concerns among parents and educators alike.

Attempts to reach the Ministry of Education Public for a statement on the situation have been met with silence, as have inquiries directed at the school's director, who cited time constraints.

Psychologist María Ester Flores, an alumna of Liceo de Nicoya, expressed her alarm at the tone and demeanor displayed by the students in the video.

Flores noted that during her time as a student, such disrespect towards teachers would have been unthinkable.

She emphasized that this behavior is indicative of a broader issue and pointed to parental responsibilities as a critical element in addressing the behavior of youth.

Flores remarked, "The primary responsibility lies within the home.

Parents sometimes feel apathetic about instilling values in their children.

They focus on meeting basic needs rather than engaging in meaningful interactions." She highlighted the detrimental shift in communication between parents and children, suggesting that regular family interactions around the dinner table have diminished, potentially contributing to a lack of mutual understanding and respect.

Moreover, she commented on the influence of peer dynamics in schools, noting that students often mirror the behavior of their peers in a bid for acceptance.

According to Flores, this phenomenon is not isolated to Liceo de Nicoya but reflects a wider trend affecting youth behavior across various educational institutions.

She also stressed the need for increased parental involvement, asserting that parents should take a more active role in their children's lives, including understanding their friendships and online interactions.

Flores advocates for more educational campaigns addressing the consequences of drug use and the importance of respectful communication.

This incident has highlighted ongoing discussions regarding youth behavior, the role of education, and the impact of home environments on the development of children in contemporary society.
