Im a 68-year-old man and Ive lived in this town all

my life. I like living here, first and foremost because
Ive always felt safe. However, one thing that has
increased over the years is the amount of
vandalism. So many young people spend their time
huddling together in the park or at the bus station.
Theres so much broken glass around because they
smash bottles; you have to be careful where you
tread. Even during the day, Im nervous about
walking past them when I go to the post office or
bank because they look so intimidating. I dont
understand it. Theres a good sports centre in town.
Theres also a state-of-the-art facility outside town
that offers activities like rock-climbing and
windsurfing. They just dont seem interested,
though. Its baffling. When I was a young man, I had
to join the army for a spell. They taught you selfdiscipline, you were always occupied and you got fit
through all the exercise. For all the fancy technology
that exists now, kids today seem more bored than
ever. My grandsons friend was handed an MP3
player just for passing his exams! Children need to
