There are some great teens out there... have the pleasure of knowing quite a few through sport, but for every good one there are probably a lot more awful ones...

Yes, it seems to. It is in recent years that I have begin to understood why people go and live in very small communities on remote Scottish islands... Personally I would love to set-up a select community of "nice people" (cliches, but...) - nasty rude people wouldn't be allowed. ^
HIDDY, I hope that your new community is really nice.
