From hoodies to goodies: today's teenagers have the makings of model citizens

Contrary to the negative media portrayals, a new study shows young people are part of a caring-sharing generation
Good news, for those of you who had lost hope in modern society. According to a report by the thinktank Demos today's teenagers – or youth, as certain newspapers prefer to dub them – far from being antisocial hoody-clad riot-mongers, are actually highly concerned with social issues, keen to volunteer, and take fewer drugs and drink less alcohol than previous generations. This had led to someone who clearly has no real-life experience of the teenage psyche labelling them "Generation C" (C for citizen). Cool.
