text: So while I'm in the opinion that community service is a great thing, it should not be abused. Some kids have many reasons not to be able to do community service. It doesn't mean they're heartless monsters, it just means they're busy. Trust me, the kids who actually want to do community service will find a way to do it. My friends are a shining example of that. You don't need to force us to do it, a lot of us will do it on our own. Please have more faith in us.
