Older people - they walk around looking miserable, get drunk and driving home, constantly moaning about immigration and yet wondering whos going to pay for their state pension when the pensioner population overburdens the taxpaying population, speeding in their cars over the limits and moaning when they get caught, isn't it time we sort this miserable/moaning lot out (generalisations? snap!)

As Smudge is trying to get across, not all teenagers are that bad. I for one am not, that's for sure. I may drink a little bit, but i'm 18, I'm allowed to drink in public now. I don't do drugs and don't smoke either. While most teens do at least one or two of the things ive mentioned, but don't judge all of them by the minority! Quite a lot of teens that i know are kind, benevolent individuals who are respected as we respect others.
So let us teenagers get on with our lives, and we will let you get on with yours :)
The answer starts at home, by raising children in the correct manner, lovingly, but at the same time setting limits and teaching them respect.
This should carry through school, which lets face it has become far less authoritarian in recent years.
Then when they leave school, the Governement and the adult population should realise that these people are the future, and should treat them with the respect that we have demanded from them throughout their childhood.
Happychappie has a point, because antisocial behavior is on the increase, and I notice it daily (if you don't see it, get out more). But for the generation of kids he is referring to there is little hope of turning things round. We have learnt our lesson, so lets start again. Educate the parents and lets hope in 15 - 20 years time we have built a decent society.
Waaaaaa!!!!! Thump........ Sorry, I just fell off my soap box.
Since moving to Bavaria I have yet to see a single fight, any heated arguments, any vandalism, any youths causing trouble etc. and yet I live in a very large city (Munich) here.
Back home I lived in a town with 12,000 people and there was always trouble, fighting, vandalism, youths causing a nuisance into the early hours plus going in your gardens, vandalising etc.
I was simply astonished at the differences when I moved here and I'm in no rush to move back to somewhere where I have to worry about watching my back, or whether someone will damage my car.
It must be how everyone is brought up. Is it TV, or newspapers, or the general way of being brought up to argue and cause conflict? How can the UK reduce this? It is virtually impossible?
