I recognize that kids (e.g. teens) like to hang out and are usually just good kids. It would be a shame to try to stop this if it is just plain good fun. We are somewhat at fault as we have done nothing to give them outlets for their energy. When we were in our teens the local YMCA held dances on Firday nights and we all used that as an outlet. The Y had it's own "bouncer" who would take care of anyone that got out of hand and they had a small band to entertain the teens. Today we have nothing for the teens which is a real shame. There is so much fear of a lawsuit, etc. nothing is done. Maybe a group (Committee) should get together with the objective to provide for the teens and give them a "healthy" outlet. There are so many that like to drink at the squares maybe this would be a healthier outlet for them??  |
Maybe the teens have to much to do these days. Have you been to these middle and high schools. Wonder if these so called problem kids are from the "The Villages High School or Middle Schools".
