Teen girls charged in nursing home abuse

[Alysser]

Im finding that good and respectfull teens are becoming the exceptions in the news rather then the rule. A teen volunteering at anything isnt going to make the news, where teens abusing a cat or the elderly is. Teens helping out at a veterans home isnt going to make the news before the teens that paintball drunks late at night.

Stereo typing is a way of life. Im stereo typed every time I leave the house and have been for years, when I was younger it was becauyse I had a mohawk. Now its because I shave my head and have a large goatee, or I let my hair and beard grow out for months to where I make Grizzly Adams look civilized. Some parents see the tattoo on my forearm and stear their kids away for me, that I can understand.

No matter how enlightened we get we are still going to stereo type.

That doesn't mean we need to put up with it. I certainly don't.

Your part of the exception.

This is so sick and sad, no doubt about it those kids got off with nothing.

As a volunteer at 2 nursing homes and I have a great grandmother in one of them, it saddens me but then again I am not surprised. Looking back to when I was in high school (only a couple years ago) I could think of some students that were the exceptions that would do something so low like this. But then again, I know that they have been in and out of jail since they have graduated.
