dear editor,
re: bullying in schools is getting out of hand (may 21).
your article about violence at the local high school only confirms what i have suspected for some time; young people today have no respect for authority and its time to do something about it.
just last week i was driving down the road when a young man cut in front of me, made rude gesture as though i had done something wrong, and then tore off down the road, almost hitting a young girl on a bicycle. my wife and i were shocked by this careless and rude display. people shouldn' t be able to get their driver' s license until they are 21. if they aren' t willing to follow the rules or mature enough to drive, then they shouldn' t be allowed to.
my wife won' t even go to the mall alone anymore because of the teenagers who hang out there. if they aren' t shopping, why are they there? they should get jobs or be made to go into the military for a few years to teach some discipline and respect.
something needs to be done.
sincerely,
i.m.crusty
