The truth about when Cops knock at Teens Door
No secrets the truth about cops and teens. Teenagers can sometimes engage in risky behavior. Who as tendency to display rebel and question authority. Their attitude as a right of passage while bending the rules. This particular sub-culture is a group of juveniles. Teenagers in huddle adults keep their guards up. Of course, they aren’t all bad. Their attitude that everyone is out to get them or don’t like them.
The Kentucky teens thought they were invisible. The two eluded police in multiple states. Raising concerned about their bold behavior running from the law. String of crime spree just for fun. Testing the parental boundaries for some adolescent who feel their lives are untouchable. “Teenagers. Everything is so apocalyptic.” Kami Garcia quoted. Seems cops are fighting a loosing battle between teenagers who fearsome enough to take risk and think of result later.
Cops and Teen’s
Adolescents pushed the limits. Questioned police authority break the rules to what they can get away with. Impatient often misunderstood and pre-judged. Now parents worry about child being hurt. How to maneuver the tricky years of being a teenager growing up as an adult. In the past approached by the troopers depending on the severity of their offense. Handled by the police station to discourage future unlawful behavior. Fines, jail time, or community service all consequences teens would face prevent future negative behavior.
Cops Knock: The Truth about Cops and Teens
When the men in blue shows up at a house full of underage, rowdy crowd. They are careful about what they do and say. Teenagers, by nature, aren’t magnificent at being careful about what they do and say. Fear of being harmed cause these young girls and boy to be scare straight sometimes. Parental involvement a “trip downtown” to the station is now at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Rebellious teens pushing the limits and defying authority is not a black thing or a white thing. It’s a teen thing.
If these Youngers are lucky, the knock on the door will come from a fair and concerned sheriff. Who wants to make sure the safety of all underage citizens. Show up at your door may be an overworked, and exhausted marshal. He is stretched too thin. No patience to use the opportunity to teach your child the error of their ways. Worse, that knock teen may find at the door a power-hungry and aggressive arm of the law. Who uses power in an unfair way. Kids think of being invincible. Cocky and fearless is not always cool!
Great article, this blue vs. civilian war needs to end. We are supposed to trust cops not fear them. Keep on blogging.
Athena,
You are correct the war has to end. If we cannot trust our “COPS” who can we trust. Thank you for your support.
I have two police who I know personally and they are about as unlike as you can imagine. One is the kindest, relatively soft spoken person you would ever meet. The other has become hardened and has a bit of overly authoritative air about him. They have both been cops for over 20 years, but they are so different in their approaches. I know which one I would want dealing with my kids. My point is that cops are human beings and we cannot and should not lump them into a stereotype anymore than they should lump us into stereotypes…black, white, teenager. etc. Right now I am seeing too much of this in the media and even in the comments posted here. We have seen plenty of nastiness on both sides of the law enforcement issue. Cops using too much force, people killing cops—our society has problems, but they won’t be solved by using a broad brush approach “blue vs civilian” approach.
Interesting post. I was raised to respect the police and I remember when I was a teen, cops were called pigs. That was always so offensive to me.
Susan, Yes now it’s war between Teens, cops and everyone else. Glad you like the post.
I think this is very true – just based on my perspective when I was 15, 16, 17 versus my perspective as I got older. Very interesting read and thought provoking. Thanks!
Alison Glad you like it. As we get older our perspective on life do change.
Very interesting and helping article to community. I have shared it and stuff like this should be promoted as soon as possible.
Lubna, Glad you like the post and thank you for your support.
I firmly believe there needs to be a limit and consequences. That being said there is a lot of cops that do care. They have gone an extra step with teens. Then there are teens that do not have enforced limits in their own family structure. There are some teens that just make a rash wrong decision. There are cops that don’t care. In the end it is not a black/white/cop thing… It is a choice thing
Sometimes given that much power, the police tends to abuse it and power trip. As for the teenagers, I do remember my teen age years and yes, I was a bit more brave back then… more adventurous too
Mommy Pehpot, Glad you like the post.
