My two teens don't do this kind of stuff.


Neither did mine
Could we please stop calling them "Teens"

Trash gonna trash

Start holding their caretakers liable too - it’s only getting worse

It's easier to fit in with the extreme dsyfunctional around them. When they decide to be better and different they become a bigger target and ostracized by friends and family. Ask me how I know.

If you grew up in that, I think you are probably the most capable of making a difference talking to young black kids. If you reached 1 out of 10 it might be worth it . It's sad either way though, it's not white people or the US holding them back.

I know some fine black people, but there is a deep underlying cultural issue there


in most places, 8 of every 10 blacks born won’t have a father figure. it’s talked about as an additional point to a bunch of other stuff, but that stat alone is literally apocalyptic.


until that reverses, we’re going to have to jail the majority of multiple generations. if people think it’s bad now, buckle up. fatherlessness is a lagging indicator. add in the fact that a supermajority of blacks are now graduating high school functionally illiterate, it’s going to get really, really fricking ugly

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'd say your statement is accurate. It's just wild that my next door neighbors are black, strong father in the home, they have like 6 kids. Nicest people you could imagine. I pay their kids to come feed our dogs when we are on vacation . Give them a key to my house. They've become good friends of ours..

If nowhere else, let the efforts to adequately address this problem begin right here on TD. Have to start somewhere and this place is as good as any.

There’s so much stupidity in this thread and indeed in this world when people are wondering what’s going on with the “teen” takeovers and all the crazy people hollering at ice and all the homeless and garbage like Black Lives Matter, criminals being released back into the streets and on and on with all the angry people.

All of this serves one purpose, and that purpose is to keep the populous afraid and therefore emotionally malleable and able to be manipulated to do anything that the powers that be want.

people who are in fear will beg for someone to take authority over them with the promise to give them safety.

tailor-made for big government people which is absolutely anybody in the government now who isn’t actively fighting to decrease the size of government.

There’s no stopping them because it obviously works.

And it will always work that’s why there is absolutely no hope of this country coming back from the obvious cultural decline that’s happening now.

This thread is something else.

As a parent to two teens, I know teens are stupid. They literally have a part of their brain missing - the part that plans for the future and understands consequences.

I can't imagine them growing up in poverty, to neglectful or absent parents, having easy access to cocaine, stolen guns, alcohol, and dirty cash.

Their peers believe their only choices are either homelessness, play "the game", or go to jail.

A half-drunk teenager high on cocaine with a stolen gun, and out on the town with his friends is a recipe for disaster.
