Not All Teenagers are Bad!

So I am sitting in my leadership class yesterday and we were talking about education and schools and such. They were talking about how an elementary school could possibly be closing and how they want to turn it into a Teen Center, but some adults are saying no because they don't want teenagers to be there and stuff because teenager are bad and stuff. Ok soo I just have a few things to say about that. So sit back and relax, I don't know how long this will be:
Not all teenagers are bad! Yes there are some, but that's only because they're most likely hurting in some way. Why are you judging them anyway? If you know them or not, you shouldn't judge them. You say, "Well teenagers do vandalism." NOT ALL TEENAGERS DO!! I am way against that because I spent two hours of my life one day fixing a car window. You say, "Well teenagers are violent." NOT ALL TEENAGERS ARE!! Before you start saying, "Well teenagers..." Stop yourself! Not all teenagers are like this. Yes there are those teenagers that want to be like that. But just because some are, DOESN'T MEAN WE ALL ARE!!! We are not all like that, I am tired of hearing, "Oh teenagers are bad." Are you aware you once were a teenager? Yes yes, I know teenagers are different nowadays, but really? We are all not bad apples on a tree. Some of us actually do care about things, people, etc. I mean look at me for example, I am in a leadership class full of adults and actually care about my community, my city, and I am a teenager, would you consider me bad? Yeah I've made poor choices in the past, but I am the person I am today because of those choices. I am not a bad kid and there are kids just like me out there and you know what, all those "bad apples" are just like me. But they're living in their bad choice. Give them time, counsel them, and let them know you care and they'll turn into a "good apple."
