Foul Language!

when your working around the streets you will see big groups of teenagers they may not be causing any problems but they are usually loud and enjoying themselves. sometimes it could get out of hand though and they will start swearing so everyone can hear them. i dont have a problem with swearing to a certain extent most people swear but in public like that they should. i was looking after my little cuz and was walking to the park with her when some younger boys started shouting swear words and she keept tapping me saying it was naughty and they should do it. its ok if your kids know they shouldnt do it but they still should hear it. does anyone have a different opinion on this?

Drink Driving!

there are many cases in the news and in the papers about another car crash due to one of the drivers being under the influence of alcohol while driving. i heard of a case were the driver knew he was over the limit so when he hit the other car he ran from the scence, the police did catch him and he was sent to jail but only for a few months. i think although drink drivers do get prosicuted they dont get enough other wise it wouldnt keep happening. alot of the drunk drivers are also teenagers i think if they were made more aware of the dangers at school before they are able to learn to drive this may help.

under age drinking, smoking and drugs!

alot of teenagers now will walk around the streets high on drugs, drunk or smoking alot of them will be underage. if a policeman saw them they would stop them to have a chat and move them on i have never heard of a group of underage smokers or drinkers that have been sent to court for being under the influence while walking around the street. i think for as long as they can get away with it they will carry on doing it at the same time i dont think they understand the dangers they are putting themselves in.

Smoking!

i have just talked in my other post about pregnant women drinking which i think is very wrong. i also think smoking while pregnant is wrong. this can cause the baby when born to have asthma, serious lung problems and it is not good for the child at all. smoking around other young children can do the same. i havnt got a problem with smoking and i think everyone at some point will either smoke for a period of time or at least try it. but while a child is small and cant have a say due to not understanding the dangers i dont think anyone should smoke around them. i have smoked before and like i said dont have a problem with it but since it was stopped in public places i thinks its alot nicer my parents dont smoke so my house doesnt smell of it so when any of us come in from being in a pub or somewere its nice not to smell of smoke.

Alcohol!

i cant say that i dont enjoy going out and having a drink with my friends and sometimes you know when you have drunk too much. i dont see the problem in that if you are old enough to drink and you know that when you have had a drink you dont start fights or cause problems in the pub or club thats fine. its the people that go and drink way too much and cause fights maybe end up in hospital and do this on a regular basis that i think is wrong not only is not any fun for their friends when they are out but they will be affecting their body. i think there is alot more people who may not realise it but need help with drinking problems. i also think women drinking while pregnant is not fair on the baby it can affect the baby badly and if done too much can cause a miscarridge this doesnt even give the baby a chance. does anyone feel differently?

stealing! this is a crime which happens alot. most stores clothes and food have people go in a steal things. the way i see this is that if you dont have any money to buy it because you cant afford it at the time of just dont have money then you cant have it. because you are taking it someone else is loosing out which isnt fair on that person who owns the shop. other people will pit pocket and take from others. this is also bad and should be stopped this is taking personal belongings which may mean alot to the person or taking money off them which they will need themself.

Tattoos and body modification.

the way somebody dresses, has their hair is the way we are all able to be individuals, another way is by piercings and tattoos. i have my belly button pierced and wouldnt think of that as a way of showing who i am people dont really see it on a day to day basis i had it done because it was something i wanted. other people will have piercings and tattoos to show who they are i dont see a problem with this and i think some people have alot of tattoos or piercings and can get judged i dont think that is right just because one person might like it doesnt mean another wouldnt. its up to the person what they want to do.
