Dear Daniel miller,
I recently have read your article about the youth. I am a teenager myself. Are you not concerned about the wellbeing of the youth? We are the future. What I read was appalling, you just look at the bad side, where is the great things which were accomplished by the youths.
When reading your article, the survey which you “claim” to be accurate seems far from it. I highly doubt that “90% of adults would be frightened to approach a group of teenagers”; “British adults fear that teenagers are not properly educated” and “80% of adults believe that teenagers today lack morality”. This is absolute garbage. I believe you are stereotyping the youth especially those from underprivileged backgrounds. Success
Me personally, I am from an underprivileged background, I live in a council estate. Lots of youth in my area have done positives thing. 2012. A big year for us Londoners. The Olympics. Thousands of youth volunteered to help out and welcome people, I was part of this alongside other teens from my area. So by you saying that the youth are “behaving like animals” is clearly wrong. Before Britain was not a welcoming country. However, the youth have contributed and changed the way we welcomed the other nations. This does show us “behaving like animals”. No!
“Too many British adults feat that teenagers are not properly educated”, an overstatement made. This is because, more teenagers than ever before are stating on at school after 16 to study. In addition to this, 62% achieve at least 5 GCSE grades at A-C, in comparison to 44% a decade early and 26% 10 years before that. This clearly shows that there is an increase and the youth are educated properly.
As you can clearly see the youth are becoming more ambitious and doing great things. However, what you have written applies to a small group of youths. Although, I’m sure you yourself was mischievous as
