But in a way youare since you're lumping them all into a group which will commit crimes. I've never committed a crime and neither has my sister, yet we've hung around on street corners for lack of anything better to do. As for the quotes I put up, it's the results of a number of studies into teen crime and anti-social behavior in children and the results are very interesting and give a good explanation. It's also not an opinion thing, I just don't like being stereotyped because of my age.
You need to learn to read!! i've already said there are many chavs/teenagers who are decent kids and don't get into trouble. Also i said i used to hang around in bus shelters as a child but managed not to get into trouble or terrorize the local community like yourself. I'm talking about the ones who do choose to follow the crowd and don't have a mind of their own, which i accept is through fear a lot of the time. Yet we all have the power inside to change ourselves and behave differently and take charge of our own lives. If someone chooses to follow the crowd and then goes around terrorizing people ranging from little children to very old people, then i'm sorry but they're not going to get my sympathy because there is no excuse to behave like and that kind of behaviour should not be condoned in the slightest! That is what's wrong with society today people not speaking out and saying when something is unacceptable! they just sit in their houses and if some kids are smashing someones window or kicking someones door through, they pretend it isn't happening and then sit on their doorstep gossiping to the neighbour about it half an hour later. I'm sorry if you have nothing to do at night and only have street corners to hang about on, believe me i know how that feels and well done for being one of the teenagers who don't get into trouble. Yet there are options available if you look for them, believe me between the ages of 11 and 13 my son hung around on street corners (not getting into trouble) but he got sick of it and decided to take up the guitar and now plays in a band and is going to music college etc. So if you're sick of having nothing to do yourself, then write down what your interests and dreams are in life and try and do something you enjoy. Give yourself a chance in life it's a big world out there and it extends further than the local street corners  you just have to be brave enough to want more from life. |   | |

the ones who are causing trouble are certainly not 'going with the crowd', they're rebelling against it.
most teenages are harmless, and i find quite pleasent.

It is unacceptable, I agree but the reasons behind it are avoidable. It comes down to the brain. Teenagers will follow the crowd because we try to form our own community away from the adults and unfortunately the leaders are usually the "bad-ass" kids who lead others into trouble. It's nature I guess but if the high-risk kids were looked after properly, it wouldn't be so common. Another thing to avoid would be, as Jeremy Kyle puts it, "kids having kids".
As for me, I'm at one uni and might be switcing to another next year so I'm already fighting to get what I want out of life: a degree, a good job and knowledge.

Cos I got a conditional offer. It was kinda touch and go there for a while.
