Writing to Persuade

You read this article in your local paper and it makes you very angry
School kids: who
needs them?
Local residents
speak out…

Young people should treat the older generation with respect, not with derision.

WHEN I WAS THEIR AGE…

Every day I want to go about my business I am flawed by obstacles. I only want to go and buy a few things at the shops and everywhere I go my way is blocked by school kids! When I was their age I was doing a full day`s work and knew what hard work really was. Teenagers at school today have an easy option, doing fanciful subjects rather than learning trades. They don`t find their minds challenged or really know what it is to work really hard at something. I wonder if they even get any homework. It seems that they don`t as they always seem to be hanging around the shopping centre.

WHAT DO THEY GIVE BACK?
Today`s schoolchildren give little back to the community but take whatever is on offer. I think it`s time they thought about their current position and did something about it.

Keeping out of my way would be a start!

BLOCKING THE WAY
They are there, littering up the pavement, blocking the entrance to shops, making the queues longer when you get in. Every day during the lunch hour it is the same. Why can`t they stay on their school premises and leave the town to the local residents who want to do their shopping?

Some of their language and behaviour is appalling. When you make a simple request of them, to move out of your way you are dealt a string of insults and made in some cases to feel intimidated and scared!
