Anti social behaviour.
As some of you may have gathered from my posts on other sections in this forum I am not a spring chicken and can therefore remember back many years. In the 50s we had teddy boys, the 60s mods & rockers followed in the late 60s early 70s by skinheads greasers and in the late 70s punks followed by various groups of youths some tagged with names by the press and some not up to the current batch of youngster who are called various names hoodies being the most popular. They all had one thing in common, they wanted to rebel against society therefore becoming anti social. In my opinion the only thing that is different is the level of behaviour. When we say there is nothing for the kids to do we forget that when we were you the only thing we wanted to do was hang around with our mates possibly on street corners or in parks drinking beer or what ever not doing organised stuff like a Youth Club or a Leisure Centre because we needed to rebel. It is also true that many activities which are put on for kids were ruined by them I can remember the seats in Calne cinema being slashed and punch ups at discos in the town hall and up the woodlands 40 plus years ago. So when you see those kids on the street tonight try and remeber what it was like being a teenager when everyone was teling you how to behave and try and remember how you felt.
But most of all remember that youth is most definetly wasted on the young.

i think kathy has a good point there.

bear i hear what your saying but its still no excuse for anti social behaviour.
kids these days havnt got the imagination what they did have .when i was growing up we didnt need computer games or tellys we would be building dens,playing polo,40 40 in games what only aquires people .

the kids do need more to do something that they can also work at and be involved in.

The only difference I can see between teenagers now and going back 15 years when I was 14, is that teenagers have a lot more attitude and rights.

I used to go drinking, I used to hang around town, I used to hang around play parks, but I was not abusive to any body else - especially adults, I did not have the desire to vandalise peoples property, I did not see the need for violence, I may have been loud on occasions, as most children are - I respected everyone and everything around me, I never disobeyed my parents, I never backchatted them. I was too scared to, scared of the Police, scared of getting a criminal record or being locked up, and most of all scared of my parents reaction if I did anything like that.

So the teenagers nowadays are just doing what I did 15 years ago(hanging around town, drinking etc) but they do it with attitude because they know in the end all they'll get is a teling off or a special bit of paper with ASBO on it. There is no real threat of punishment. There is nothing to scare them into behaving.

couldn't agree more, kizzy. The problem is now-a-days the yobs parents dont care where they are or what they are doing! (by yobs i mean the ones that are out to cause trouble and damage to whatever or who ever they want) They get away with it because they other kids are to scared to name them, and even if you know who they are......what can you do about it.
I'd love to meet the lad that beat up my son........ one dark night in a nice alley, when he gets out of nick again!!!
