I think one of the problems with society today, not just restricted to the young but they seem to be the biggest offenders, is a lack of respect for others. I guess that is why they are the "me" generation. They only seem to be concerned about the things that affect them today with no care about the future. They don't consider that anything they may do will have an impact on other people.
Fortunately, although I live just 10km or so out of Melbourne I am in a relatively "quiet" neighbourhood, with extremely good neighbours who generally know each other and respect them. The biggest distubance lately is probably a 21st a few months ago....we heard car doors slamming at 1am. I had to turn over and go to sleep again! Of course we have had break ins, property damage etc in the area but most nights you could walk around the street at midnight and probably get back home again....
I bet most of the trouble makers were males under the age of 25!
