The chief constable of Cleveland police has defended teenagers, saying that the public need to be more tolerant of "growing up". Jacqui Cheer said that society is too ready to label normal teenage behaviour as antisocial, and urged people to be more allowing. Do you agree that young people are often unfairly tagged as yobs, and that we should try to see teenagers in a more positive light?
