Take away the kids access to communicate with friends and what the fuck do they have left? It’s not like we have youth centers or shit any more. Barely had any when I was a kid;

well, i grew up in the countryside and we did have youth centers. i can guarantee you i made a wide circle around them, in the sense that i avoided them like the plague

it’s not the absence of youth centers that’s the problem, it’s the fact that i grew up in a very backwards rural countryside full of the exact type of shitheads that you would expect to find there. one person more annoying than the next, the excesses in alcohol consumption weren’t the worst part, it was how people looked at people who didn’t fit their definition of “normal”. really not a good place to be.
