Having read the posts on this thread I have to agree that "kids" will go for the cheaper option. I.E drink on the streets instead of flics. But there is no excuse for vandalism or bad manners. My 7yr old has been bullied mercilessly because I have brought him up to say please & thank you. when other kids hear him being praised for it instead of copying him they call him names. Am I wrong to instill manners? Today I heard a young boy of about 10 ask a man in the park if his dog would bite, the man replied yes, so the lad kicked a stone at the dog and hurled abuse at the man!!! Is there really any need for this sort of behaviour? I think not. My 7 yr old has come out with all kinds of bad language but after I have explained what the words mean & why its wrong to say them he hasn't repeated them(not in my hearing anyway) why can't other parents do the same? the world would be a much nicer friendlier place then.
