Giving Youths a chance!!

Not so long ago there was a thread on here commending the hard work of local youths and some very hard working youth workers. I too would like to pass on my congratulations to all those associated with the program.

However when some little bastard puts your living room window through at half seven on a Saturday night, it is very hard to keep the positive view about what has been done. I'm big enough and wise enough to know this was a one off and that this type of activity is done by the extreme minority.

I know there is a great deal of care and hard work being done by many people out there. Never the less, when my kids are screaming and crying due to these young thugs' irresponsible and downright dangerous antics. I then find it very easy just to tar them all with the same brush at this moment in time!!!

Oh dear, thats not nice.
I understand your reaction to this situation. As a youth worker, I always try to see the good in some young people, but one the hardest things I have had to learn is that not everyone can be helped, some kids are just little shits......
Hope your window didnt cost too much to fix.
Regards
