Britain's Mean Streeets

Responsibility

The essay is about British youth and their problems in the society. What makes them

behave badly and why they appear to be so different from teenagers in other countries. What is

the big consequence about drinking and how can the government stop crime? Finally I will end up

with a conclusion.

''Staying home in the face of danger isn't the British way.'' It is true that the British

youth have been invincible, but what makes the present situation of British young behave so

badly? Britain is developed a 'get rich or die trying' culture. With other words - young people

achieve wealth and power on a wrong way.

Fast cars, gold dollar sign around their neck and oversized rings are popular among the young.

But the lifestyle has a dull back where young people end up in crime. It is especially young men

from poor backgrounds who feel they do not have much to lose, ends up in crime. They choose

the wrong future instead of getting an education and work.

What makes British teenagers appear to be different from teenagers in other

countries? It may be because they think and act differently. Not that they cannot work with other

people in other countries but a large part of youth have a big tendency to conform to ideals. You

get the feeling that they are afraid to be different from the others. And they want to avoid being

an outsider. Drinking makes them uncontrollable. The present youth in Britain are one of the

heaviest drinkers in Europe and they have been unmanageable in terms of behavior, drinking and

sex.

What are the big consequences about drinking? The consequences are known, but

they are likely to get worse as the drinking age starts earlier and earlier. But those who actually

start early on the age and drink a lot have a higher risk of liver disease, cancer and heart disease.

So the question is, why not reduce the alcohol? Is that something young people should control or

is it the society which must intervene? If the government could help to get the young Britain

people a better and a safer place, they should start with the first thing:

Put the alcohol age up to 18 years. Afterwards they should focus on the crime.
