"Watch out! - I am from the evil and hated generation. Believe it or not, not every single

teenager around my age goes around beating up people and smashing up cars. Can you

seriously claim that today's youth are that much worse than the mods and rockers of the

former generation? My generation never gets a positive thing said about them - GCSEs for

example - we do better than the past generation and the courses must be getting easier -

obviously. Is it really any wonder then certain youths rebel?"
