"The Youth of Today"

Popularity
This is the most popular campaign
If you look at my picture you might see a group of youths mucking around in a phone box with some "old" man behind the camera saying "the youth of today" "no respect blah blah" but really this picture is of me and 5 young people having fun WORKING at an international scout jamboree for free so that 10,000 10-18 year olds could enjoy the experience of a jamboree. Over 10,000 youth doing "good" Did you see anything about it in the news? My campaign is to change people’s views on "The Youth of Today" and getting the good news out there of "The Youth of Today"! In the papers its all about the bad, do you ever see the good? I am and I’m sure you are feed up of being judged and labelled in a bad way as "The Youth Of Today" Its time to change their view!
Comments
i agree with this campaign, i mean, teens of today are stereotyped just becuase of some headlines seen in the newspapers. once i was out with my friends, and i walked into a bottle, only a plastic one ('cause i drag my feet sometimes) and i didn't mean to, but it nearly hit this girl, only on the foot. and the man with her turned around to us and said ''you watch what your doing you stupid f**kin' teens! always causing trouble and looking for it! now p*** off somewhere out of the way'' i found this comment quite offensive. adults also moan about kids being on the computer 24/7 and not acting like kids anymore, i mean, we aren't even allowed to act like kids. even being outside a shop without being thought bad of is hard to do. there's no where to go for us teens around our area or do, which results to bad behaviour, but only the minority of the time. playing football on the streets we don't do anymore, we're too old! (when we did, we always got told off for being there, and people threatened to phone police as they were scared that their properties were going to get ruined, and there were no fields that i was allowed up to at that age, so there was no where else to go). teens these days are stereotyped as hoodies or chavs, i'm sorry, but not all of us are like this.

absolutely i agree with this. in the summer my mate got assaulted by a drunk middle aged woman who had been complaining that her daughter could never get to sleep cos we made too much noise. we tried to apologise and talk to her about it but she was just shouting at us and hit my mate. she went to the police, and, even with video evidence the police assumed we must've provoked her and banned her from the town centre for a day.discrimination against teenagers is rife in this country and im glad sum1s doin something
