Mean Streets: Britisk ungdom og samfundsproblemer

The essay is about British youth and their problems in the society. According to the article, British youth drink more than young people in other countries.

It doesn’t appear in the article, why the young British people drink, smoking and do drugs more than other young people in other countries. I think British teenagers appear to be different from teenagers in other countries because they think and act differently. Drinking makes them uncontrollable. The British young people are one of the heaviest drinkers in Europe and they have been unmanageable in terms of behaviour, drinking and sex. Some young British people, hanging out different places, without a purpose. They call their other friends and ask them to meet them. British youth have been invincible. Britain is developed a ‘get rich or die trying’ culture. With other words - young people achieve wealth and power on a wrong way. For the young people, the lifestyle has a dull back where young people end up in crime. It is especially young men, from poor backgrounds, who feel they do not have much to lose, and then they end up in crime. They choose the wrong future instead of getting an education and work.
