Knife Crime

There has been a lot of publicity about knife-related crime and in particular young people carrying knives in the news recently.

What do you think about this? Do you know of any people your age who carry knives and if so what do you think about it? Is it a problem, and if so what do you think should be done about it? Or is the whole thing blown out of all disproportion by the media?

Welcome to WHS Talking Point

Our first topic up for discussion in Talking Point is 'Yob Culture and Anti-Social Behaviour'. Here are a few starting ideas to begin with:

What do you understand by the term 'Yob Culture', do you think it exists and if so what should be done about it?

What is meant by the term 'anti-social behaviour', why do think it happens and what can be done to prevent it?

Have you ever been involved in either of these activities and, if so, how do feel about it now?

We look forward to hearing your views expressed in the comments below.
