The Kids Are Alright
So often today you turn on the TV and find people moaning about the youth of today. At first you mutter “those people, are kids really that bad? I bet they aren’t” and then you find out that a brick the size of a car has gone flying through someone’s window and bashed them over the head. Then you realise that actually, being old in a world full of youngsters who seem to be running wild is actually no fun at all…
The thing is, though, there are some kids who are alright. Only last night I watched a documentary about teenagers in London who were harnessing their creative energy into doing something positive. In this case, they were going in to old people’s homes and producing beautiful art work which could hang on the walls and brighten the place up. It made me realise how, although there are a lot of problem kids out there, there are also a lot of good kids. Often it’s just a case of helping them in the right way: namely, a way that they can understand and use to their fullest potential.
Unfortunately the media loves bad teenagers who do horrible things. I can’t help thinking that if they spent half the time helping teenagers and younger children – as well as portraying some of the good things they do – then a lot more people would be much more aware of all the good they are doing in the society in which they live.
