text: I Think that community service should be taken very seriously. Although kids would love to sit on the couch and play video games or text on their phones, they should know how precious it is to help the earth and others out. The time it would take to give community service is very subordinate compared to all the time the kids & teens spend playing video games and texting. They should realize that their later lives are going to be impacted by the way they act now. If they are indolent and wont help the community, how are they going to be able to survive in our hrsglive when they don't live with their parents anymore?
