[MR] Teenager abuse at Pennsic

[mweymark at carolina.rr.com]

Actually you are correcct, the implication that the kids likely to cause trouble would not consider joining in was wrong to imply.  However, we do this because it is fun for us.  I do service because well, Im a service junky with a high amount of Helium in my arm blood (a condition my laurel is trying to cure).  I have had the good fortune of working along side some like afflicted teens, and I have also heard teens protest about doing service because it is like a chore.  

I think we (as a communitee) need to come up with social alternatives for our youth to keep their interest rather than finding jobs to keep them busy!  Teen gaming is a wonderful idea. And we could even take it a step further and have it run by older Pages (over 16 crowd).  Having the pages run the games might make being a page a little more appealing as well.  I dunno if we could legally do that but I mean if the teens are hanging out now without supervision wouldnt this be a step up?
