Not all kids are this bad. Only the bad ones are the ones we ever hear about. Raise your kids well and they won't be vandalizing or disrespecting other people's property. I do understand that the majority, if not all, vandalism acts are done by young adults, but to generalize that kids are bad offends the kids that are generally good. I kind of see it as a causality thing. Anal adults that hate kids, will always find kids (regardless if they are good or bad) that will dislike them. Ever grow up living next to old people that hate everything you do? I'm not going to argue with anyone that replys to this post. I'm just expressing my feelings toward people that stereotype kids as the ones who are first to blame.
