Why are teenagers Committing so Much Crime?

the gremlins targeting Black business owners.

Bro we did serial car break-ins in the 00s, we got the idea from somewhere (the older guys before us). That shyt ain't new...

"Cake shop" can be replaced by any other business name we've heard dudes loot, furthermore that doesn't state those thieves were kids anyway...

Look bruh, it's okay. The pearl-clutching signifies that you, and most others in here, weren't really exposed to the teenagers who were criminals, so this shyt is all astonishing to you...

It's being covered now. They weren't doing news segments when I was a teen when we were running thru people's cars...

Couple hundred aint getting the job done for them boys anyway nowadays, the jwett (Scams) been hitting ATLEAST 15 years strong with ebbs and flows.. I saw when the jits came thru in the club, paid they way in and even had the dope boys like "why they spending soo much money?" Them boys came in the game blowing a bag, all that designer shyt popped off because of them..

I done seen some of the youngns be in high school pushing paid off bmw in recent years, they get on as runners for older dudes because if they get caught up they under age, they can get charge drop later.. Some of these jits was moving soo deep you woulda thought they had a jwett elective at they school.. And thats before pandemic, that was just a bonus on top..

Brooklyn is the perfect off this, scamming for forever changed the streets. Once these youngins ain't have to go through the ogs, or even touch them corners to make money anymore. Shiits just different

Because there are no economic opportunities, no outlets, sports beyond middle school has become a gated community. These kids are poor and have no outlets for their energy.

What lol
There are sports and clubs in high school. And In America you have to drive pass 15 ‘help wanted’ signs to get to the place that you want to rob. Plus, if you got 4 friends taking penitentiary chances for a couple hundred dollars, you can put your heads together and make your own opportunity.

You do know afters school programs specifically tailored for low income households had dropped by about 2 million in the past decade

After-school programs have either been abandoned or overworked

The pandemic hit after-school programs with the twin catastrophes of plummeting enrollment and the loss of their physical space.

Or are we just going with Black teenagers are just born that way?

These Baltimore kids said it in plain English and I paraphrasing. Either we sell water or try to wash your windows and try to earn the money or we'll take it.

I guess this is why people post the cynical "they just need more rec centers" comments.

What do you do when gremlins are shooting outside the rec center?

It seems like the crime across the country among teenagers is skyrocketing and I have no idea why. When I was a teen all I wanted to do is get my license and hang out with my friends. What happened? What's going on with the young people?

Edited for anyone with their head in the clouds:

Juvenile Crime Surges, Reversing Long Decline. 'It's Just Kids Killing ... Juvenile Crime Surges, Reversing Long Decline. ‘It’s Just Kids Killing Kids.’

Black perl …. Trying to live that thug life …. easily influenced by the wrong cats …. And want that fast money …. Or some of these youngins are bord shytless instead of getting themselfs a job or career think doing criminal behaviour passes the time idiots…..

This guy has never heard of teenagers shooting outside of rec centers before the 2020s ...

This reporter says "many of these youth conflicts arise from interpersonal conflicts". That shyt isn't unique to the 2020s. Social media just wasn't around in pre-Recession generations to document the interpersonal beefs that teenagers got into...

Keep playing dense.
Juveniles have always been violent. We shouldn't be concerned about juveniles getting involved in more dangerous activities on a regular basis. The communitah is fine. Carry on.

Happy now?

The difference in opinion is if there are actually MORE juveniles doing more dangerous activities, or if this stuff is just being reported MORE...

In other words you are good with it. Reporting it is the actual problem.

I got family members that own businesses

Hope all these burglars and carjackers die as soon as possible

Can’t wait til “real nikka” culture is gone

I'm not okay with it. My entire point, has been that it isn't shocking to me, and I don't believe there's been this drastic increase in juvenile crime, in part because of my own experiences and in part because I don't think there's always been coverage of teen crime the way there is now---->and I'm validated in that, by an article posted upthread...

I don't care what anyone says

Social media is fanning the flames.

Seeing crime happening all over and ski mask culture on tik tok or whatever makes it worst

It wasn't broadcasted so easily back in the day

Before, it was just neighborhood beefs in a good city but now little cities tryin to mimic Chi-Raq or some shyt
