Many young people find a way to express themselves. Not being adults they begin to express their opinions of any given system, like the government's policies and policing habits in the form of poetry.

Expression is the battle within all of us.  Sometimes alot of poeple cant find the way to express themselves while others find many different ways.  For me it was in Sports growing up.. showing the passion on the field.. which translated to that off the field.  For others, its in the writing (Diary), music (whether it be singing, song writing, or just playing and listening), poetry (allowed me to open up and explain what i thought when just plain words couldnt explain what I was feeling...  But for the question.. there is a percentage of the youth using poetry for the expression but the majority has found otherways to express themselves and their feelings/beliefs!!!

Freedom of speech applies when you reach 18.  If you have to make sarcastic comments, you may and should be censured.

Thanks for sharing... and to think some people think young people are SHALLOW and GOOFY. Go figure.

Hmmm...I think it's because they want people to treat them like adults,but they still don't know what to do exactly when they have a problem. So they think they're too mature to get help from an adult,but they can't fix the problem by themselves,so they just run away from the problem

here's a piece of advice....learn how to spell and have good grammar\n\ndon't give America's youth advice talking/typing like that...they are in enough trouble as it is...

Oh, don't underestimate (or is that misunderestimate?) the immaturity and idiocy of some adults. Some are just very old juveniles.

Well what can I say??? Every single one of us has to go through that process.  When you are a teen, you are stuck between being a kid and an adult. The best choice is the mentality of being the grown up...The problem is that teens are still children in the eyes of the adults.  Then you get the rebellion stage in which every person has to go through...Perhaps, it is the thing that makes teens to share their ideas and their behavior....So, it is the grown ups' fault that teens are seen so homogenized as a bunch of children in soon to be adults bodies

People are self centered. They may be insecure of themselves so they put one down to bring them up. There is positive criticism though, which is tough to take but may be healthy.

some teens seclude themselves, others will become violent or rebel, and others will just put themselves into some kind of activity to forget about their troubles like a sport, hobby or schoolwork. I'm sure there are other reactions, but these are three of the most common and broad reactions that i have seen.

Children can't always find the words to express their needs. It can be very frustrating for them to have so much they'd like to communicate, & not be able to communicate it to others.

They belong to a different generation with different rules and attitudes.  They believe they are better for they already passed through youth and can tell us about our behavior.

i think part of this problem comes from adults (school board members, teachers, parents, etc) are not comfortable with discussing these issues or maybe not knowing how to discuss the issues facing our society these days.  in my class the kids bring in a current event article every week and we use that to fuel discussion.  it provides a great forum for kids to express their feelings about the situation and what the others are saying without feeling they will be made fun of.

Politacally Correct people have a parental desire to control everyone. They don't know what it means to exercise free speech.

there are many people that do not have the capacity or the know how to think for themselves. this is an age where most people's opinions are not formed by actually reading or looking at something from several different sources or viewpoints to form their own opinions, but from 4 second soundbites from whatever "news"&#92;entertainment show they choose to believe, or "the did you hear" from someone. sad, isn't it?
