Teenagers ruin the walls with graffiti

This photograph (above) was taken at Al Musallah Road in Dubai. I felt so ashamed to see this act of painting graffiti on the walls. I saw some teenagers holding different kinds of spray cans and making the walls dirty within minutes.

Whom do we blame? I think the parents are to blame for the bad attitude of the teenagers. What are they teaching their children? Are they giving them enough time and playing their role to make them responsible citizens? I don’t think most of them are.

In the photograph, one can see that the building management has recently painted the wall. However, the teenagers didn’t bother about their efforts and ruined the wall.

I request parents to please play an active role in their children’s lives before they get out of control and there is nothing left but regrets.
