From smashing bus shelters or writing on walls? I don't understand it. What have I missed?

I was bought up by a very strict father and i never did anything too extreme but i admit i did do the odd scribble on the bus shelter and shop shutters. I did this mainly because of boredom and the excitement of actually being able to get away with something for once in my life

I've never let my lad play on the street. If he and his mates want to 'do something' they can come round my house and bl**dy well behave.
I've kicked kids out before and my god, they don't believe you'll do it. It comes as a real shock. They all come from unloving, cold shouldering homes where they're left to parent themselves. They don't get fed, they're kicked out the house on to the street, they're told 'don't come back before 7pm'. It makes me sick, what chance do they have? But I'm not running a youth club.
As for my lad, he doesn't have a lot but he's interested in music and artwork. So I bought him a guitar and keyboard, and music and art programs for the pc. He could free read when he was 12. If parents can't be bothered to do any parenting they shouldn't bother to have kids. They're not doing them or the rest of us any favours.

I think it is done to the lack of things for these people to do with there self.
They need there minds busy with activities or things constructive,so where is the goverment when funding is needed for keeping these people busy.
No where to be seen as long as there doing oright stuff everbody else, lets waste tax payers money and follow george bush tail.

Lack of hometraining. Or they have everything (spoiled rich types) they like the idea of doing something bad to feel powerful. Most of the time they doped up on something or drunk.

*Chuckles* going against social norms is almost always enjoyable. Getting drunk isn't socially acceptable but people do it cause they like it (or they're stupid).
However, and people don't understand this- the more sin you do, the more damage you do to your soul. Think on this- good luck

Its all down to showing off to their mates and looking cool and dangerous at the same time.
Todays society is gone to sh*t and its gonna get worse before it gets better.

These kids are lacking parenting. There is no one to explain things to them. Bored

It is easier and quicker than creating something ...
Society these days seems to be all about instant gratification therefore working towards something is 'boring', 'whatever' bovvered' ....
