Comment on Australia's youth crime rates have plummeted despite what politicians would have you believe

I hate this shit. If anything the youths are milquetoast obedient wet rags.
Yet somehow there’s still, despite their puritanical and anxiety ridden dispositions, concern that they’re out mugging grannies every weekend.
It’s extremely tedious.
Also break laws and imbibe dubious substances you limp noodles.

I’m with you; have fun and break some shit but don’t be a cunt.

I’m mostly joking. Generally the kids impress me and there’s stuff my peers and I did that I’m frankly shocked we survived, not all of us came through intact. Shit I’m on lemmy, I’ve probably got some screws loose.
But I do think teen years are a good time of life to test some boundaries and break some rules. If you’re not hurting other people even a bit of destructive mischief is ok imho, you gotta learn how to disobey and why sometimes you shouldn’t.

I fully agree. Teenage years are a perfect time to learn consequences and do the shady shit you look back on fondly.
There are limits of course, but we try them differently for a reason.
