where we live there is nothing for teenagers to get out and do, there's no youth centre nothing it's just boring for them so they hang around near the shops and cause trouble, there is a cinema in the town but it is not open often if there were somewhere where the youths could go it might stop the vandalism and the trouble around places.

when i was young i personally was responisble for getting the youths around where i lived into bingo and we all used to go to the bingo every friday night it wasn't for cash it was for prizes and it got all us young ones mingling with the elder members of our village and they never minded us being there at all and the organisers got extra money from us being there so it was a win win situation, then there was the youth club every sataday where we used to congregate.
nowadays people are so afraid of youths starting trouble that they think what is the point in trying and there are always the few who will cause trouble and will spoil it for everyone else but that is always the case and won't change any time soon.
