text: The last reason why community service is a good idea and should be enforced is that it is a great thing to do for others too, not just yourself. Some people want to help out with jobs around their community but maybe they are elderly or they are sick or injured and they can't . This is where kids come in. They are in the best health of their lives right now so they can go out and help clean up around their elderly or sick neighbors house and I am sure that would just make their day because they aren't able to do it themselves. Plus, doing things for others doesn't just make them feel good, it makes you feel good because you know you have done a big deed for that person and it makes them really happy.
