The good & THE BAD

While teenagers are increasingly making more sense, it's the supermarkets we have to watch, reckons Colin

The news these days is so often bad that when some good stuff comes along, it seems almost shocking. For instance, I've just been reading all about a new study of New Zealand teenagers that suggests they're much better behaved than they used to be.

Back when I was young, teenagers could be pretty wild if they got the chance, especially around alcohol, something some of them had trouble accepting was only for adults to enjoy. I was one of those teenagers and such wickedness might have set me up for a lifelong relationship with the stuff.
