Reflection

Featured Blogger - Georgie | 11:56 UK time, Saturday, 1 March 2008

Georgie is blogging for us all week about life as a teenager.

I know its late and for that I take full responsibility and I apologize. I hope you heard the debate on Friday morning regarding whether teenagers and youths are being demonized by the media and falsely generalized. There was more I wish I had said but overall I feel that valid points were made from both sides of the spectrum. Yes it is true something needs to be done and as to what needs to be done, well everybody who is anybody has an opinion and someone somewhere will agree with every single one of them.

I think personally we should be delicate with the next generation who are soon to be teenagers, give them credit where due and not internalize it into them that they will be troublesome teenagers soon. I also think elocution and etiquette lessons should be brought into schools and those that commit crimes should be sent to some sort of boot camp but of course that is just my opinion and I appreciate that people will disagree.

All people can do (both adults and teens alike) in times of trouble is remain to be outstanding citizens and pray that if justice doesn't punish the wrong doers then the higher beings or Karma will do. I hope everybody stays safe from both adults and teens alike and continues to pass on positive ways of living onto their children and grandchildren alike. I know its easy to say but love those dearest to you and use alternatives to hate for those that cause you hassle, hate only leads to more hate after all.

This is my final blog for radio 5 and I would like to thank radio 5 for the opportunity to spread my views and broaden my mind to the views of others. I'd also like to thank the team for looking after me throughout the week and yesterday at the studio. They were real down to earth professionals and I think many teenagers will appreciate what they are doing for us. I shall post videos of my night last night on one of my blogs as soon as i possibly can, I would have uploaded them today had i not been so incredibly busy and had a fault on my computer last night and today where it would not accept my camera. I appreciate all of the positive and negative comments given in this week and for now this is goodbye.

    That is all very touching and I can see were you are coming from but to be honest, elocution and etiquette lessons? Be delicate with the next generation? I’m sorry but do you really believe that if we had that sort of education it would stop teenagers today?
    I’m a teenager and ill tell you right now I’m not in the minority that goes round causing havoc instead I’m on the receiving side of it all. Teenagers are being demonized by the media and falsely generalized because in short we kind of deserve it, not all ill agree with that but that is it, I hope you understand what I’m trying to say here but its going to take a lot more to stop teenagers acting the way they do today
