I am teenager and have to agree that when I go late-night shopping with friends, we are often told to split up or leave if there are more than four people, especially if there are a lot of teenagers out. It is unnecessary and unfair. My friends and I don’t even look bad; we don’t wear the type of clothes the sterotypical ‘bad teenager’ wears. We never do anyhting wrong like steal, break things, yell, intimidate people or have fights, so I don’t uderstand why they need to split us up. I know there are a few bad teenagers, just as there are a few bad adults, but splitting them up does not fix anything; in fact, it makes things worse – it makes them angry, so they may fight, yell or break things and are more likely to steal in smaller numbers as they become less obvious to the shopkeeper. I think the few bad teenagers are a lot less bad than the few bad adults, so if they insist on splitting up the teenagers, they should split up adults as well, or split no one up, because that makes it fair. I’m sure teenageers wouldn’t mind being split up if everyone else was, because that means we are not being treated any differently. Also, I think it’s important to have the same rules for everyone because we should all be treated as equals. And if you took the time, you’d see taht we ain’t as bad as you think we are – even the ones who dress in baggy pants sports brand cloths and listen to rap music.
