Madison county most likely locks up a lot of kids a day , and my opinion it is because kids have nothing else to do here, but be bored, which …show more content…
causes them to do things that they think are fun but in reality can get them in a lot of trouble. In the old days we had go karting , movie theaters , etc but now we have nothing, we have no where to have a good time at.
Entertainment can change Anderson around and maybe more kids will stay in school and off of the streets.
Is it a big deal for us to have a little bit of fun ? a bigger mall ,more places to go shopping , more places to eat , go karting , laser tagging , water parks .? Everything small Anderson gets gets taken away in a blink of an eye mostly because kids don't know how to act, but discipline has to come in somewhere every child doesn't deserve to be bored in their own town , and 5/10 of those kids could turn around in a better way with just a little bit of a distraction from the bad things out in the streets and the other 5 of those kids most likely just likes that hood lifestyle and nothing can change them.
Kids in Anderson only have a couple things to do , and eventually, after a while it gets very boring. Anderson has ONE movie theater that gets packed every weekend with kids and adults , what adults want to be around children 24/7 ? i don’t know any . Children here need their own places to hang out with but Madison county would rather spend their money on new street lights which were fine the way they were instead of creating a distraction for the
kids.
All teenagers can really do is go to parties and parties lead to drugs and fights and even worse kids being locked up when they should be out enjoying life.
Anderson could make a very big turn by putting 2 to 3 places in Anderson for entertainment , help kids stay out of trouble and off the streets and get them to make more or even better friends. We have to stop sitting on our butts and not doing anything about Anderson falling apart and not having anything fun or important here. Let’s make a change Anderson.
