Teenage Rights
The Rights of the Young American Dismissed Under the eyes of god we are all created equal, and under the foundation of the country with gods blessing all patrons of the great USA are created equal. Right? Well that's what I thought until my eyes were opened this summer to the cruel REAL world. Is there any reasoning that befalls the United States Police Force to undermine the future of the USA? Are we so evil that we must be "Plagued" by the constant harassment of the police to follow us wherever we go no matter what we do? Are we so naive as to let this continue in the world that is supposed to be our Peaceful and Humble abode? No. We are the ones that will soon run this country and change starts with us. So here is our voice. Listen if you will, or listen if you wont. Either way you will hear our voice. We are of millions in size and will not fall to the beck, call, and command of those who only hold age higher than us. Inside this document of our complaints, compliments, and worries you will hear how the young leaders feel and suffer. Points will be explained and many voices will talk. This is not just the viewpoint of me, but that of the entire generation around me. I am just the "message bearer." Take of
The question, after time, rose up within our crowd. We were not allowed in parks after the time of 9 and would often receive complaints before then for noise. So we were left with the decision to go back "downtown." Upon arriving here it usually took about 1-2 hours before storeowners would call the police about our loitering. So where do we go? What is the city going to do for us? We have until 11p.m. Weeknights and 12am Friday and Saturday nights. Asking the police officers of these cities got us nowhere. The only responses we got were; "Well Not Here." Or "Honestly, there is nowhere for you to go." Well if the city wants us to help with their constant calls of loitering designate a place for us to go. Give us a park, build us a building, find us a business or let us use a lot. To protest our dissatisfaction with the way the city is handling our situation, we will begin to place our cars in the city hall parking lot. Away from businesses and companies. Away from where we will affect business. This is our way or your way. The situation now lies within your hands. This summer was a summer like most for many. We hung out around the metro area and talked over food. Problem, we were not allowed to hang out. We received many warnings from multiple police officers over this span of Rosemount, Apple Valley, Farmington, and Lakeville. Warnings about loitering in the lots of businesses and parks of these cities. We have nowhere to go. Nowhere to play. Nowhere to park our cars and hang out with friends and to meet new people. What are we to do? Where are we to go?
