Most of my schoolmates were into doing it and I guess it's very immature and unsanitary for them to do it. They can always write something on papers, why should they prefer walls?

I feel this is a problem mainly associated with adolescents.It is at this stage in their lives where they are not mentally fully mature.They need counselling at this stage to avoid going astray.I'd prefer the schools and parents to correct these deviants and instill in them a sense of right and wrong and channelize their energy to productive and creative purpose.

most specially those who are associated themselves in the group. but lucky for me, i never had done any of those when i was in adolescence. i think people do this are either spoiled or just misguided or don't have the proper parenting, or mostly that are certainly those who are neglected by families.

Thanks pickim but I guess their parents were unaware of what they're doing in school. I just hope that they'll be caught and they'll be punish.

Hello eLsMarie, that's just too much, what is more with the teens or teenage minders alike would really have to prove or mark. till this day we still have some of those vandalized stuff in our front wall, which is really a show of disrespect. i guess my neighborhood isn't as safe as it used to be. i believe it's just another way of fun to them but it will be approved to any one's seeing it.

I use to read all the comments written on walls and doors whenever I use the comfort room. It think the are the kind of people who seek importance because their voices can't be heard but they're doing it in a negative way.

Yes, I agree with you. Any form of vandalism is an act of immaturity. Why immaturity? because immaturity is a rule and only immature people break the rule intentionally. Vandalism and art are different things, so if a person says that he/she is artistic this person should draw/paint his art into another flat form that is legally available. Vandalism is very dirty and shows the character of the person.

I should say that their lives are dirty. Too bad they can't make it look cleaner because they can't face their mess instead they adds up more mess.

Vandalism is wrong. No matter what they say, even if its for art's sake its still not right to just do what you want to space or walls that you do not own. It's against the law. And its really inconsiderate to people affected. They are the one that cleans and paints those walls. And its not free and really tiring.

Vandalism is very much common in the cities and I hope that they'll be strict towards it. Art was never a right excuse for those who are into this because they're ruining something that isn't meant to be for them.

Vandalism is BAD. Vandalism happens in my school all the time. Toilets mirrors,school walls etc.

It happens to us also. Our school maintenance were really into having a tough time in cleaning the students' mess. Why can't they have any conscience? It's too bad that we're from a Jesuit school but most of the students doesn't have values.

I think that vandalism is bad and that it shouldn't be tolerated. Especially not in schools. On the other hand I have found that some Graffiti can be very good looking, but there are enough spots to "tag" on that are legally usable. There is no need to spray on trains etc where its forbidden.
