[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just imagining some poor old woman in bed whose doorbell rings and she has to get up slowly and painfully and go to the door, all for some dumb prank. Or some woman home alone who sees teenagers darting around her lawn and then knock on her door. I would be absolutely terrified.

This is not a funny prank for post pubescent males to play- banging on doors where there might be one teenage girl home alone? Or an elderly person? If I saw a bunch of teen boys look like they were trying to get me to come to the door I’d absolutely call the cops and I wouldn’t sleep that night [/quote]

Oh the drama!!!! It must be so hard to be you.

Do I think it's ok to be knocking on people's doors at 10 pm, NO. But you take it to the whole new level. 8th grade boys are not post pubecent. They are in the middle of being really dumb for a few years. They do dumb things. It's ok that they do dumb things at 13/14 rather than at 23/24. That's what childhood used to be for. If they were all grown and able to make rational, mature decisions they wouldn't need us. [/quote]

Some 13 year olds have mustaches, tell me they aren’t post pubescent.[/quote]

What does having a mustache have to do with their ability to make good decisions. They are still dumb 13 year olds as they should be. They aren't grown yet. [/quote]

Police bringing them home should set them on the right course pretty quickly.  Natural consequence, learning experience, etc.[/quote]
