This thread has been going on so long, I've lost the thread, but I do know it seems to be putting all of Shetlands youngsters under one umbrella, that is not so, the majority are well behaved, hard working and normal. Yes, we do have a minority, and always have, the same as anywhere else that are hell bent on causing trouble at every opportunity, nothing new there, it was the same when I was younger than I am now. The difference is there was a price to pay, doesn't work anymore, they can't be physically punished and nobody can make them do anything else, they know they can't be touched, somewhere along the line a solution will have to be found as what I have seen after moving back into Lerwick, I shudder to think what 5 years down the line will bring, I am surrounded in a good area with very young children doing there best to destroy everything that is provided for them, not all of course, but the element is there, it's not fair for them all to be guilty, that is not the case, the responsibilty lies with the parents and to a certain degree with the schools, if they don't help, it will just continue, an age old problem, my sympathy's lie with the good youngsters we have....
