The big issue: Read this week’s star letter from Edward Thistlewaite
Just what is wrong with today’s young people?
Dear Editor,
I am writing in connection with Julie Boyle’s article ‘Just what is wrong with today’s young people?’ in last Saturday’s newspaper. I must say I agree with many things that were mentioned by the author.
First of all, Ms Boyle believes that young people are lazy. I totally agree. I am shocked at the poor physical health of teenagers today. They say they can’t exercise because they have to study. However, in my experience ‘studying’ is just an excuse to avoid doing anything.
Next, she says that teenagers are unpleasant. In my opinion, this is a very good point. What’s more, when I go shopping, I am disgusted with the unhelpful service I receive from young people.
Finally, Ms Boyle says that young people spend all their time in front of TV or computer screens. This is absolutely true. Although there are many facilities in our town – the park, the library, the museum – they are rarely visited by teenagers.
On the other hand, cyber cafes are full of young people wasting their time with computer games. Yours faithfully,
Edward Thistlewhaite

Hi everyone,
Did anyone see Julie Boyle’s article on young people in last Saturday’s Herald? Unbelievable! She seems to think that all teenagers get up late and then spend all day watching TV. But that’s just not true. Most of the people I know who are my age spend their holidays travelling or working part-time.
She also says teenagers wear the same clothes day after day. No way! What planet is she living on? I’ve seen some statistics that show teenagers wash more often and take more care with their personal appearance than any other age group.
That woman doesn’t think – she just repeats a lot of stereotypes and generalisations. And then she says that teenagers are unpleasant and never smile! I really think she needs to get out more. I mean, when I’m with my friends, we’re always laughing and joking.
I wonder if she has ever actually seen any young people!
Come on you guys, let me know what you think about this.
Love you all Surinder
