Here is an example of why both old and younger adults may stereo type young people. Its all down to personal experiences as well as what one reads........Here is one very recently.......Walking in park with friend and dogs and two groups of kids aged about 11 -16 formed two large groups coming from two different directions.......Must have been 60 to 80 kids in total......Each group had a lead fighter and met to fight while the other gathered around cheering the fight on.......Other teens were in parts of the park using mobiles to warn other teens about police activity on the way......Boasting about a big fight and the park gates are about to close.....Both old people and young adults entering the park turned back home out of fear of knife crime from kids.....I later learned that all the kids involved were just from one school... 80 behaving like hooligans from one school is no minority.....



I have had teens running across roofs and hiding their faces behinf hoodies......I have seen teenage girls parading down the high street taking the micky out of old bearded men outside a temple...

The sad fact now is depending on area is that what may have been in the past regarded as a minority of teens behaving badly is now becoming and ever increasing amount.


It's wrong to stereo type anyone including older people of which some are short tempered probably because they can compare the past with the present and feel total despare just as the poster feel total despare as being stereo typed.....Blame the the baddies of your own generation and not the ones that now live in fear of young people who because of a total disintigration of meaninful dicipline so many have gone to the wild side.....
