BANGOR DAILY NEWS (BANGOR, MAINE

I am writing about the numerous acts of violence and vandalism in our area.

When I was a youth acts of crimes were few. I don’t know who’s to blame, but maybe some of the trouble is there aren’t enough activities for our teen-agers. Today’s youth are more restless and they need something to do with their spare time instead of getting into trouble.

The city should provide some place where teens can go. I know the Bangor Auditorium is not used as much as it could be. There could be dances, games like basketball, indoor softball or just a place where teens can be a part of something. I know it costs money, but look what it’s costing the future of the community.
