More useless youth crime that has nothing to do with economic disadvantage. Perhaps youths are committing pointless and egotistical crime because we live in a culture that constantly goes on about human 'rights' but goes almost silent when it comes to human 'obligation': 'you have the 'right' to be who you want to be, and to do what you want to do and forget about a public code of ethics because values are purely the 'private' concerns of individual families in their homes, not the concern of schools, the media, or your community.
Even if this were 'true', the amount of time parents actually have access to their children's attention is obviously dwarfed by the amount of time they don't: when youths are at school, watching movies, surfing the internet, and roaming around with their crew on the streets.

hink of it all - of the life that is! Study your friends and foes!
Study the past! And answer this: "Are these times better than those?" The life-long quarrel, the paltry spite, the sting of your poisoned pride! No matter who fell it were better to fight as they did when the world was wide.
