Young people feel 'isolated' in their community

Yup. If you don't go arround stabbing each other up and setting fire to one another then perhaps people might feel like they want to include you in the community.

Cause or effect? Are they antisocial because they aren't integrated into society, or are the not integrated into society because they're antisocial?

Well of course they do have you tried saying hello to someone walking down the street nowadays only a handful will say it back most will just give you a look like you've just insulted their mother.

That's not an insulted their mother look, that is them trying their hardest to work out whether you're a bit backward or not.
 
yea they isolate themselves by acting like a bunch of thicko yobo kids...

or at least they do around my area. perhaps if they turned up to the park at 11am with a litter picker - instead of turning up at 11pm with a load of bottles to smash they would integrate themselves a little better?*

*my house backs onto a park where lots of kids congregate, people walk home through the park after a friday night of binge drinking. one day last week some *&%$ had smashed a full bottle of WKD within 3 foot of where i park my car, meaning that before i could set off to work, i had to pick up loads of broken glass. and when i got home i had to sweep up the rest of the shards so that i could park up reasonably without destroying my tyres.


Or the kids who had a fight outside the front of the house, one of them fell over the wall and knocked the iron grating off the top of our wall into our garden (its a terrace on a main road with a small front garden and wall)...

did they apologise? act humble? ah no. fraid not.
 
The day I get troublesome kids outside my house is the day kids go extinct. Being a keyboard warrior I don't take abuse well.

Then again from the other side of the fence some old people have nothing better to do than complain. Grannys curtains twitching when you walk past the house cos they read in the DailyMail all young people are criminals.
 
Morba is right.

Can't help thinking if we got a bit Victorian on kids they'd grow up a bit better. They'd also have work done the pit or up chimneys to keep them busy. :p the first bit was serious by the way. Discipline is what is needed.
 
I find it hard to believe that the majority of "NEETs" questioned even knew the meaning of the word "isolated".


"Wee'z ah-solated nah innit lahk blud - dat's hah'ting is on da streetz nahdays ya get meh, brap brap."
 
I blame the lack of churches. Kids need to start going to church and doing church activities and getting to know each other.

You're more right than anyone here will give you credit for.

Although you could substitute any community based activity for church, if that makes the militant atheists happier.
