I'm same age group too and I hate them. Do I get some karma?

But seriously, there has to be a reason that these people are like this. I put it down to broken families, no money and dire boredom. I can relate so strongly to their situation in many ways. That's not to say that I think it's acceptable to behave the way that they do. It's just that I can understand their position.

I was out last night, round accrington. Anyway, after the night came to its natural end, we went to get some food. The amount of stick you get simply because you don't have a shaved head and wear different clothing is ridiculous. Me and my friends were being called so many different names it's untrue. If we'd had a few more drinks I don't think we'd have stood by and let it happen.

We've got a problem that needs sorting out. But I don't think it can be done by whacking an ASBO or arresting them. These people are still gonna go out and they're still gonna push the boundaries of the law. They can't get arrested for insulting people, but we can get arrested for turning round and planting our fists into their faces. They deserve it from where I'm stood. These people have no future and no lives and I think we'd be doing them a favour, to be quite blunt. We need to seriously tackle this problem from its roots. People have nothing to do and no motivation. Our binge drinking culture is there for a reason. People are fed up with one thing or another and turn to getting drunk to escape the real world. Maybe getting locked up will spice up their lives a little. I don't know the answer to this problem, but this cannot continue. I'm off to uni in september (hopefully), moving into the city, so it may be a little different over there. I hope so. If not, I'm leaving the country.
