Are you really suggesting that we entrust our impressionable youth to god botherers? The Kevin Logans, catholic perverts and muslim martinets of our world??
Way I see it....the 50's had teddy boys, the 60's mods/rockers, the 70's skinheads, etc..etc..
This aint a new phenonmenon, you hit 14/15 and basically you are screwed until you are 17/18..there really is nothing that interests them, they are too old to do kids stuff and too young to do adult stuff.
What has changed is parenting, policing and awareness.
Nanny state says parents cannot chastise, police cannot administer slap round the earhole.
The information highway, social media and mobile phones with cameras means that unlike us oldies, who long ago used to get the proverbial kick up the backside for being caught scrumping/playing knick knack/writing I love sandra in felt tip on the phone box, todays youth can now have the backside kicker tried, sentenced and publicly humiliated courtesy of you tube.
