The biggest concern of people in my local area would be public transportation. There are no city buses going in and out of the town which causes more cars to be on the road. Also since there are more cars there is more traffic alone with that. Public transportation in my local area is a major problem with alot of people that travel into the city for jobs and school that do not have a car or can not afford one. Public transpotation could also lead to less pollution and less dangerious gases in the air.
I think that the major concern for young people today is that there are so many evil people in the world today. I personally feel that there is really no one that you can trust besides family and really close friends. Anybody can buy guns and illegal drugs today without any police officers or any government officials finding out. This is a major problem. In city areas where there may be gangs or poeple with guns are very dangerous places for people of any age. Also, some shows advertise things and create images in childrens heads of what they should do, wear, and/ or say to people when they really shouldn’t. Many TV shows, Movies and Websites portray these images. This adds to the comments on violence in the streets and in cities because many of the movies about this kind of stuff take place in the cities and in areas that a lot of children live in. Personally, i feel that the biggest concern for kids today is that they are growing up in a society where many people arent taught to be nice, polite, and well brought up. I also feel that there is another issue. The other issue i feel is that kids today are growing up in a technologically based society. Many kids are relying alot on technology and are becoming chubby or obese because of the lack of physical activity. This is partly due to their parents, in the fact that their parents dont push them to go outside and to have fun with friends in person, rather than online or over the internet. These are two very important concerns that parents face when looking at children and that children face today.
I think that the major problem in my area would have to be illegal drug use. It seems to be so easy for kids today to buy drugs, use them, and sell them. Although they know the circumstances of getting introuble and the horrible affects of drug use, yet kids today still do it. Along with people of all ages.
I think the major concern for young people in my community is that there is nothing to do. Because kids do not get involved in extracirruclar activities, they pick up habbits like smoking, drinking, and doing drugs. There are no job opporuttnities or community service aids to tend to. Another concern for young people in my community is that all different kinds of people drive through my community that you could never know what is going to happen if a bad person stops to talk to kids. Also, the center of my community is right along Route 9. This causes danger to all the young children who live along the road because they are not familiar with the rules of running into the street and to not talk to strangers.
I think the biggest problem in my area for teens is drinking and drugs because they are alot of people who try and sell that stuff and people chose to buy it and ruin their health. Drinking is another concern because there is also alot of alcohol where I live and many teens chose to get drunk, when they chose to drink it or steal it.
I think that lowell is a very unsafe invironment. there is a lot of problems going on in lowell. Like drug use ect.
The major concern in my area are drugs. Many people in the city of Lowell are selling drugs for money. Another concern is useing the internet for the wrong thing.
The problem in Norwich is that there is crime in the city and there is some people selling illegal drugs and some people use websites for stuff that shouldn’t be on there.
I think that children should be able to play out side with out the worry of drugs and guns and crime
here in the UK people are selling illeagle stuff to Kids because they might not no what they are!I think there should be more police officers on the streat.
Where I live is a really good place because it is a culdisac. There is not a
lot of cars but there is a lot of learners about. There are a lot of drugs
round our area and there is a lot of people out at night until 10 o clock.
Where I live there is lots of drugs and lots of teenagers wondering around the streets when it is dark. There is a lot of needles near the garages where I play footy I have seen at least 7 of them. It is not a very nice place to live in and a lot of people get hurt.
Around my area in Norwich there are alot of people who have and sell drugs it is a troubling thing. I think that the drugs should stop and some police should be around to check your houses just in case you have any.If it do not stop then all sorts of thing are going to happen any where any place any time.There could be muggings and stealing thing in shops and being violent.
The thing I don’t norwich because it is full of druggies and there are loads around that are being sold illegally which shouldn’t be aloud.
Around my area there is teenages smashing bottles and smoking.They are making a lot of noise so people can’t go to sleep like me. I have to get up at 5.30 in the morning because my mum goes to work really early in the morning.When i get up because of the noise i cant get back to slleep.Where I go down the park there is a lot of needles and they can be really dangerous.When I am on my bike my tyres could burst.
Hi on my road there is a car park and every night tenages always smoke and play music from there cars I can never be able to sleep.
Around my area in Norwich there is no problems because it is only a small square.
I like living in my area it’s always really quiet. Sometimes there are burgurlars on the odd accasion.
Just down the road from my house there is a carpark.In this carpark a gang of about 17-18 people all between the ages 13-20. They always smoke canabis.The most scary thing is they carry knifes.One person on my road got stabbed in march 2004.
I think that children should be able to play out with their friends with nothing wrong around the area.
And they should be able to be safe and they could look forward up to christmas. But they should not be aloud to touch alokerhole or drugs.
My area is really quiet and nothing bad ever happens apart from the odd small fight or argument,but once someone got shot it was really serious.
Guess what, our school is under construction as the first school is joining the middle school. I wonder how it will turn out. We are becoming a primary school. It feels weird, with all the noise they’re making.
Hello do you know that Catton Grove middle school is getting re-built because the first school is geting joined onto it.
I think that they should’nt have teenagers on the streets because I know of teenagers who have broken my fence they where like a big elephants.I think they are aged 15 or 17 and 14 ,18 yeas old.
Do you have teenagers like that next to you?
I think terrorism over land is pointless sooner or later there wont be any land to have wars for. In fact millions of people will eventualy die because of this, the second issue with me is global warming i think its pathetic that the goverment is telling us to save energy, when there building factories and nuclear power plants. I think they should start doing usefull things like giving limits to aeroplanes.
I feel really strong about drug taking because its just dum and stupid. This goes out to all you drug sniffers out there if you really want to take drugs and have small brains and die when your 40 then go ahead. But if you want to live a long and happy life with friends and family then chuck those drugs on the floor and stamp all over them and go get a reall life. thank you for listening =] uyou all ROCK!.
Traveling in the dark lonely streets can be terrible and can be fatal. We need police patrols in every alley, corner and street but we dont have enough to do that. Maybe we should all stay in and not go out at night. Would this be safer?
illegal drugs can be fatal too. Really we should all stop and think about the people that died from illegal drugs and think about what would happen to us. Who knows????
All we know is that with these drugs, life isnt safe anymore.
What is the point? Why do you do it? Taking drugs where is the sense in that? You never realise the danger until you actually come face to face with it. Life is like a box of chocolates you never no what to expect. Why do you hang about the streets at night, you never no what’s round the corner. It may seem cool to your friends, but what about you, do you just do it so you don’t feel left out. Think about yourself not the friends you hang round with, one day you could get in trouble for a crime you did not commit. So think what you do and not what other people do and think.
I am concerned that people nowadays could be drinking alcohol or smoking outside my house or even worse taking drugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think it should STOP as its ruining their health and others around them!!!
Hello notreblog.edublogs.org !
A young couple on the brink of divorce visit a marriage counsellor. The counsellor asks the wife what is the problem.
She responds “My husband suffers from premature ejaculation.”
The counsellor turns to her husband and inquires “Is that true?”
The husband replies “Well not exactly, it’s her that suffers not me.”

Hey everyone!
I live in a small-ish town right outside of Philadelphia. We have a train station but, not anything to around the actual town. We don’t even have sidewalks. You’ve any ideas??
Where i live there isnt many faccilities for children and not enough for them to do.
I agree that too many children and teens are taking drugs. These hooligans and violent thugs are roaming our streets and abusing our neighbourhood.
