Wonder what the world has become now, youngsters committing crimes is becoming like an ‘in’ thing for them with no sense of regret, remorse or reflection. I tried not to stay late too often now also as i realised that a lot of youngsters have been sitting ard void deck or playground areas when I came home ard 9 plus. Sometimes they can be rowdy or all gather together and smoke. :!:

Three teenage suspects, aged 13, 15 and 18, were arrested yesterday for slashing a 23-year-old-man at Block 362 Yishun Ring Road Thursday evening.
A police spokesman told AsiaOne a dispute over a missing handphone is believed to be the cause of the slashing.
According to online reports, the victim was attacked by two youths on a motorcycle.
The victim later fled the scene, leaving a trail of blood from injuries to the head and arms.
He reportedly sought help from a resident on the second floor of Block 343, Yishun Ave 11 - some 400 meters away from Block 362.
The victim was then taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for treatment.
Police investigations are ongoing. -

can't really point a finger at the education system.What had gone wrong with our parenting and education system?

our kids are in there to score good grades,
for economic progress and material pursuits, right?
can we realistically expect anything more than that? -
there are Moral Education and Civics too

I know that too, but we all know how \"important\" those two subjects are.there are Moral Education and Civics too
I would not depend on our education system to inculcate good moral values in my children. -
Some of these kids are from broken homes, some have parents who over-pampered them and then lost control over them. Ya, I agree. It is the parents who need to take responsibility for such teenagers’ behaviour.

I agree about the parenting. Schools and teachers can only play a supportive role to the parents, reinforcing lessons that the parents have been teaching their children since early childhood. Ultimately, the buck stops with us.
