process in Singapore. Our site's main focus would be to highlight the stages of reform the delinquents go through to properly return to society as well as understand what makes the delinquents tick. With our information kept simple and displayed in a way that is aesthetically pleasing, we daresay that our site caters to people of all ages as a source of information on the teenage delinquency system in Singapore. The site also includes detailed analyses of survey and interview results to help you to better understand the topic.

Prologue
All teens will probably come to a cross roads during their lives. Some will take the road less taken which will run them afoul of social norms. Through the walk, they may finally come to regret their choice. This choice can lead to delinquency. Once they come onto that path, they can never go back to the crossroads again.

The reason they chose this path, could be to find a way out of their problems. These problems, be it family, identity, school or even social issues, when confronted, will lead to a decision to be made. This decision signifies the fork in the road. They could choose to solve these problems – taking the beaten path. Or, they could choose to run from these problems. This running from the problems will leave them bitter and eventually lead to their expression of their feelings. This expression could be in the form of rebellion which may lead to delinquency.

As the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost states"I doubted if I should ever come back". In the same way, the troubled teen would never be able to go back in time to the same crossroads and take the other path. However, after walking the path a while and starting to regret, they will come to another cross road. This would be another choice; to continue the path they are on, or to take on a more challenging path. This is a path of change in which they right their life and finally handle their issues. This path is offered to them by people who are willing to lend a helping hand: The MCYS, Touch Youth Learning Centre, the Prison school and many others who are willing to help these troubled youths to get back to the right journey. This path is what we call THE SECOND CHANCE.

Our objectives of this quest are to understand:

• The mindset of the delinquents and the main driving forces behind their waywardness
  Delinquents do not become what they are overnight. That is what our group is very sure of and therefore we want to find out what exactly which causes them to fall into delinquency. By being able to do so, we can actually help preventing them from happening and reducing the chances of teens falling into delinquency. Understanding these factors also helps to be able to communicate and understand the mindset of teens more easily and it comes in handy when trying to help them to reform.
• The rehabilitation process adopted by various relevant organisations we have chosen to highlight
  Most people have the general mindset that places such as boys' home are actually just teenage prisons. However, we feel that it is not the case and such places are actually a second chance for these delinquents and when they take a first step into these places, it is their first step to reform. We are also interested in the activities conducted in these places and how they help these teens to reform and we hope that through our research, it will create awareness to the general public about boys' homes and learning centres for dropouts.
• The strategies and means to reintegrate the delinquents back to the society
  Delinquents might be delinquents but they still are humans like us. They do make mistakes and as long as they are willing to turn over a new leaf, they deserve a second chance. They have a hidden potential which might not be uncovered if they were not accepted back into society so we feel that we should help reintegrate these people into the society. If we do not bring them back into the society and force them to the edge, they might commit crimes in order to gratify themselves and thus creating more problems for the society. So we feel that these people have the potential to be helpful to our society or they can become chronic criminals in the future.
