Tress Passing

Tress passing is a very serious crime. This is something that is hard to follow especially between youths. This is considered under the breaking and entering crime. Tress passing can be from standing on someone’s property or standing on state property with a sign that says “No Tress Passing” all the way to breaking into a house and entering in and stealing things. I have researched that most teenagers tend to do most of their tress passing off of a website called WeirdNJ.com. If you read this website you will notice they just posted on the bottom of the screen, “Any Tress passers will be held accountable under the spot and will be arrested.” The police are taking this very serious because so many teenagers are going there and starting trouble by breaking things and being very loud. This is a big problem with the state of New Jersey. The state used to not be as strict as they are now because more and more kids are getting caught there causing trouble. There has also been bad reports of crimes being reported from tress passing on people’s property. There is a law that it is considered tress passing if you walk on someone’s property without their permission especially if they have a warning sign out already. This crime is starting to grow more and more with the age group of twelve to seventeen.

Drinking and Driving

This is probably one of the worst crimes anyone can ever commit and it is probably the most common. Between all ages, no matter what age you are, this crime can put you in jail for a very long time or even worse, death. If someone gets caught doing it who has a job they will most likely lose their job after receiving a DWI. If someone who is younger and does not even have a job yet and is still in school and gets a DWI, their whole life ahead of them is going to be bad. They most likely will not be able to get a job anywhere. Most teenagers end up drinking at a party thinking that they are totally fine to drive and later that night everyone gets in that person’s car and ninety percent of the time there is an accident and people are severely injured or killed. This can put a blame on the driver if they are still alive for the rest of their life living with that guilt. Drunk driving is the worst thing that can happen and it is impossible to stop. Police are getting more and more strict with it by doing random breathalyzer tests when they block off the road. Crimes like this happen more and more with a younger age group which is getting to become really bad.

Weapons

Weapons is a big issue today with youths and teenagers. The thing to do now days is to have someone buy a fake gun and either spray paint the tip or the whole gun. The reason why I said tip is because the toy guns are fake and usually have an orange tip if it is fake, and the gun is real when the tip is black. What people are doing now days are spray painting the tip of the orange gun black to make it look real. This will scare people because they look at that right away and everyone knows it is real. There was a time years ago when people just used fake guns on other people and the victim knew it was fake because they saw the orange tip. Now they will panic if they do not see that orange tip. Many children at this age are beginning to get smarter and smarter with these dangerous ideas and these type of crimes are started to be more and more committed from teenagers over adults. They feel that they are looking up to the bad people and want to be just like them, this can result in family problems at home or not being raised well by their parents.

Fighting With Youths

Fighting is a big problem today with all ages but most likely happens with youths. Fighting usually is started when teenagers are either drinking or on drugs. More on the drinking side but it can happen being completely sober. Fighting with teenagers always is started over the topic of money. Usually someone owes someone some type of money and that person never gets that money and it is started with fighting. What they do not realize is fighting can kill someone. This is a very big part of violence because some fights can involve a weapon being a knife, bat, or almost anything. Even just fists can be very dangerous because teenagers loose their temper and do not know when to stop. Fighting can be very dangerous to people around as well, especially innocent people because usually friends get involved. Fighting is seen as something horrible and that is something that can never be stopped no matter what. People will get caught whether it is being suspended in high or grammar school, or out of school and being arrested by the police. Youths do not care and will do what they have to do to prove to their friends or boyfriend/girlfriend to prove that they are tough. This is something that should definitely not happen but happens anyway. Youths will never resolve their problems by talking it out, they always seem like they must resolve it by fighting.

Stealing

Stealing is also a very big crime with youths. This is one crime that most youths get caught doing and it does not happen as much no more because of security reasons. Security all around the world has been getting stricter and stricter with catching people. If you walk into a store now days you will see at least twenty cameras in the store watching everyone’s every move. They especially watch suspicious kids who keep looking around. The kids do not realize that there every sudden move is being watched like looking around suspiciously for cameras. Most people when they want to steal something make a move like that and do not even realize it. Stealing is very popular with cheap things, nothing really too expensive. Youths will try and steal things like video games or movies or food. This is popular with people in gangs or just people hanging out with the wrong crowd trying to show their way of being bad in front of their friends. This is a crime that has been cracking down on youths and make sure that no one gets away with it.

Drugs

Drugs is a very serious issue with youths more than adults. They are all following the media today which is the biggest topic of all right now with drugs. Children do not realize how bad it can be for you but it seems there is no way to stop this. People die every day from drug overdoses and it starts with something like marijuana and leads up to pills up heroin and cocaine. The drugs in youth is absurd from the money they have made off it and the amount of drugs being given to them. The biggest age for drugs right now in youths is twelve to twenty. The age just keeps getting younger and younger I have noticed. There are many youths today who are trying to fight that fact that marijuana should be legalized. This is probably one of the most popular drugs that teenagers are experimenting with today. Almost ninety percent of teenagers in the age group of twelve to twenty are smoking marijuana. They do not realize that it will lead them to doing heavier drugs which can result in death or easy overdoses. Teens see drugs as not that big of a deal to them because every one is doing it but what they don’t realize is that when they get caught they will regret it or when they get a lot older is will affect them very seriously.

Underage Drinking

Underage drinking is a very bad issue with youths. This is something that can also never be stopped because young kids always find a way to get their alcohol from someone they know who is older. Most of the time the older person is not thinking of the consequence they can be charged with if getting caught. Alcohol is so serious especially for kids under the age of twenty one because of how harmful it can be. The age is twenty one because at that age most of those adults are mature and older and are not always looking to get drunk or wasted. The younger kids love getting very drunk which can be deadly. They do not know how to handle it because they just keep going and going and because of this there has been many results in death especially with driving. Kids will have their license at seventeen years old and will get drunk and go off driving getting killed or killing innocent people. Underage drinking is a very bad crime also because of the fact that younger children get into fights when it comes to alcohol and they become very immature about it. I think that every youth should be taught how too much alcohol can be deadly because most of them do not see to realize the damage it can do to them if they do not drink it responsibly.
