good video, im 15 and although i think teens can get discriminated against and we are just a product of society, the riots were still horrific . loads of people were just doing it to be cool, if your bored join a club, go to a friends house, start your own campaign for something to be built, do homework, get a job

if you just blame others you will get nowhere , make things happen for yourselves, at the end of the day theres only one person that can change your life and thats YOU

I agree with pretty much all that is said in this video. So then I showed it to my mum. This is what she said: "I know all his. There is nothing there that hasn't been said every generation. It's all a load of rubbish." and: "I know that all these teenagers end up pregnant, just to get the benifits for 16years" and: "If I saw a gang I'd be scared, but it was like that 30 yrs ago -it hasn't changed" "most people do care, and take notice, only a few don't"

continued in reply...

i think there's alot of things that are said in here that i agree with. There is alot of corruption and lies around us, and the government have stopped caring, not just for teenagers, but the whole of the UK. Teenagers have been labelled because of their actions, i'm a teen, and i am fed up with everyone looking at me, as if to say, i'll hurt someone, but i can understand where these teenagers are coming from. But i think this video is inspiring for anyone who watches it. Great video. 10/10.
