I hate this shit. If anything the youths are milquetoast obedient wet rags.
Yet somehow there’s still, despite their puritanical and anxiety ridden dispositions, concern that they’re out mugging grannies every weekend.
It’s extremely tedious.
Also break laws and imbibe dubious substances you limp noodles.
I’m with you; have fun and break some shit but don’t be a cunt.
I’m mostly joking. Generally the kids impress me and there’s stuff my peers and I did that I’m frankly shocked we survived, not all of us came through intact. Shit I’m on lemmy, I’ve probably got some screws loose.
But I do think teen years are a good time of life to test some boundaries and break some rules. If you’re not hurting other people even a bit of destructive mischief is ok imho, you gotta learn how to disobey and why sometimes you shouldn’t.
I fully agree. Teenage years are a perfect time to learn consequences and do the shady shit you look back on fondly.
There are limits of course, but we try them differently for a reason.
I am going to be rather annoyed if this is the reason LNP win this coming election in Queensland.
The only thing which has increased is media coverage of youth crime
I think it’s unfortunately a given at this point.
And they’ll take credit for “stopping” it once they no longer need to hype it up of course.
It’s quite unlikely that Labor win, but the Katter party bringing abortion to the fore may cause damage to their margin.
What’s even the point of having a youth Justice system if every youth just gets tried as an adult?
To feign fairness and to let rich kids off easier than poor kids.
Someone has to separate the kids with their whole lives ahead of them from the ones who are hardened criminals at 16 /s
Hey now! Cut it out!
Let’s not bring any facts to the ‘discussion’!
