Are these fair statements on teenagers, family bonding,community service???

Question

1...14-17 yr olds tend to be most reckless, rebellious and can

cause much distress to family, neighbours and community.

2...Parents who have ill-disciplined teens should bring them

along for holidays, together with other adults and kids

There are many benefits.

3...Youngsters who have caused damages and chaos to

neighbours or the community, should be made to do

a minimum of 3 mths community service. 'Bad' kids

should never be glamorized or offered deals by the

media or other organisations with the intent of cashing

in on such popularity.

Answer 1

1.  yes they are reckless but it is because they are driven by hormones and adrenaline.  At that early age they do not really know what is going on in their body so they are outletting it any way they can think of.  And as we get older we realize how certain things we did when we were younger were really dangerous and not that smart, but we also become less understanding and do not think that our experiences when we were younger makes us the people we are today.

2.Yes there are many benefits, but there are also disadvantages.  how often when you were younger did you want to hang out with the kids your parents chose?  Answer is probably never unless you were a kid that just wanted a friend and did not have any.  This would lead the to rebel even more.  Mom and dad said I have to hang out with these kids so I am gonna hang out with these that I deem more fun. Teens should be allowed to make their decisions but they should also have to deal with the consequences of the decisions they make.

3. I dunno about adding a time limit to it.  but I think it would benefit everyone even the people that are doing right to get out and realize that so many people have it worse than they do, and what good one person can really do.  I have taken groups of kids for the past few years to do hurricane relief and you would be shocked at the changes it made in their lives.  it changed them from poor poor me to wow by me just even talking to this elderly person who is down on their luck it brightens their whole day!  No when someone does bad they should not be offered deals that make them think hey I can get away with bad things if I just get the right people on my side.
