34% of Adults think the young have no respect for others
Almost one in four adults (24%) aged 26 or over say they feel uneasy when they see young people (those aged 11 to 25) on the street and cross the road to avoid them, according to a new report out today.
According to the YouGov research, which was commissioned by youth charity the Jack Petchey Foundation, 34% of adults (aged 26+) believe young people have no respect for others.
Why is Life Harder for Young People?
49% of adults aged 26 or over said they think life is generally harder for young people today than it was when they were young (i.e. 11 to 25) and only one in ten (10%) agree that they would want to be young in today’s society. Around two thirds (64%) put this down to the fact that young people are expected to grow up too fast, while 54% blame a lack of positive role models, and 53% say it’s because there aren’t enough places for young people to go (i.e. socially).
