Read the passage.Teens Deserve Access to Public SpacesTeenagers often get an unfair reputation for causing trouble when they gather in public places like parks, malls, or downtown areas. However, teens have just as much right to exist in public spaces as anyone else. They should be allowed to hang out with friends away from home without being treated like criminals. Banning teens from these spaces is ageist and discriminatory. Some may argue that teens are more likely to engage in rowdy, destructive, or illegal behavior in public that disturbs others. While that concern is understandable, statistics show it is largely unfounded. According to data from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, only 5% of teens accounted for half of all juvenile crimes in 2020. The vast majority of teens were not involved in any criminal behavior. Additionally, a study by the Bridgespan Group found that 90% of loitering incidents involving teens were non-violent with no property damage. With reasonable rules and supervision, teens can use public spaces respectfully. Pushing them out just forces them to find more isolated, unsafe areas to socialize. Communities should make an effort to accommodate and integrate teens, not shut them out.
