It is also that bracket that take things to extreme's as they feel they have to do more to be accepted.

But as someone above said the vast vast majority of teenager's are polite helpful and non aggressive but yet again we are going to concentrate on the idiot minority and no doubt some new legislation will come in to help us do that.

Under labour in the last ten years it has become the norm to praise and understand failure and bad behaviour (perhaps a reflection of the politicians we have representing us) and it is time to get back to heaping the praise onto the decent hard working and socially responsible instead of devoting time and large amounts of money to the "i want an excuse for my crappy behaviour" brigade.
True and 60 million UK residents didn't get blown up by today's bomb in C. London but the newspapers and programmes are full of it and understandably so. Whilst I agree that success, achievement etc. (however that's measured) amongst the young should be better publicised and celebrated, there's no way that the editors are going to fill their pages with good news.
