Flash Mobs have been occurring frequently in Philadelphia. Teenagers have been grouping together hundreds at time at local malls and stores, creating reckless and violent destruction. The mayor Mr. Nutter in an attempt to stop the teenagers from causing more harm he has set up a curfew that requires all persons under 18 to be off the streets by 10p.m. Mr. Nutter has been appearing publicly to spread the message and enforce his new laws to keep teens off the streets and away from temptation of violence.
Why are teenagers committing these flash mobs? Some blame it on the social networks, poor parenting, and even the teenage generation all together claming that we’re way to violent. Maybe those reason do have a purpose to them but psychologists think that the reason teenagers are attracted to violence is because they have grown up with violence and don’t know better, they have been neglected and feel the need to lash out, hang out with the “wrong crowd” and get into drugs.
Many think that now a days teenagers are so much more violent now that they were a few decades ago. According to statistics that it true, but only because they have been allowed to do so resulting in mass violence like the flash mobs in Philadelphia
