I would like to tell you about my trip that I went to washington DC with my parents, If that is ok, with you, Little bit off the topic but I think it will raise some opinions comment's back and forth, When we arrived to the capital,One of the night I snuck off to take my photos of the city. To say I was scared is an understatement. I knew that my nice Nikon digital camera clearly marked me as a tourist, and one with money besides. Taking Washington DC photos of bums camped under bridges, or of rundown slums was a risky proposition at best. Nonetheless, I persevered. I guess I was just lucky. No one even hassled me. When I got back, I had some Washington DC photos to show my civics class that shook them to the core. It says a lot about our nation that its capital is so run down and so impoverished. If we can't even take care of the people in our capital, who can we take care of? What do you think of the capital ?

A Scotish friend told me about neds, which somehow accurately portrays the image of both teen alcohol abuse and teen pregnancy problems--in my mind at least. I actually should have acknowledged that there are still some problems in Europe and that of course my solution is not an end all solution. But having grown up also in the United States, I think this is a serious issue since the population that is repressed has no voice and when heard, is too easily dismissed. Subdub,

A youth worker living in the UK we have very similar problems, which I believe are attributed to respect, self esteem and aspiration. However if you take a look at the recent unicef report the UK has terrible teenage alcohol use issues and europe's worst teen pregancy rate. I believe the basis of your arguments are sound. Your evidence floored. http://www.unicef.org/sowc07/statistics/database.php Creativity and expression are the only answer !!! Bob you start your case very well.

Youth today is often repressed and victimised, when one teen kills someone it is classed as the act of a violent yob. The newspapers have a field day, bringing up articles on the dissocaiton of todays youth on the problems we have of our lack of respect for other things. What no one seems to realise is that to many of us respect is just a word, no one shows us it, so we dont show it to other people. This resistence thing seems to be going in the right direction with that, we need to draw attention to the fact that we're rebelling against something which is unjust and a system which is flawed. The few who cause crimes cause a bad name for those who dont or who commit lesser crimes, this creates a social stereotype and screws us all over big time, if you can get out ther and get all our voices heard, then you will be remembered. If you can create this resistence and make it work it wont be long before it snowballs all over the world and into the news properly, i just hope it reaches the UK before its too late Im from the UK and well, to be honest, i hear what you’re saying.

The government or any of the societal mechanisms that have been in place in the U.S. for the past 200+ years doesn't cater to anybody but those of a certain skin color, body-type, or tax bracket. What will you do afterward? It needs to culminate in something in order to be self-sustaining. There's no place for you after you grow up you know. This is something you can't shrug off or alleviate with a trite statement about "selling out". Speaking as one of the people now living in quiet desperation, playing the stupid game, I'm a bit more privy to this than some rich kid who's parents live in a nice-ass neighborhood in Great Falls. Consider leaving something behind that will be remembered, and possibly emulated. Think. BIG. I’m too old, but share the same views.
