Perhaps if more of our young people could be persuaded to join voluntary service organisations then they would not need to whine constantly about being bored.

i would love to be able give up some of my spare time to do something like this but most young people cant due to work commitments and studying commitments, i once asked my 15 year old sister why she wouldnt do anything like this and her reply was that she would get laughed at in a uniform and that she wouldnt be getting paid. nowadays young people are bothered more about getting paid rather than give something back to there community. it is mostly due to peer pressure put upon them by there friends, it like if they dont do anything cool then they wont be accepted into the right crowd, i was exactley the same when i joined girl guides i quit because my friends thought it was uncool! young people now are more interested in standing on street corners smoking and getting drunk not doing anything for there community only causing trouble!
