text: Lastly, kids should just enjoy the time they have as children while they can, not picking up trash or reading to the elderly. Part of being a kid is having fun and doing what you love to do, and i know that most kids do not love doing something like service. Sometimes, kids do make mistakes and are ordered to perform service instead of going to prison or jail, but no harm no foul. No misdoing, no punishment. That's my out look.
