Kids used to hang around on the streets , hanging around doing nothing standing next to phone boxes . One would take a few cigarettes from a parent , another would take some alcohol and the kids would be hanging around the streets drinking and smoking , and they would look for ways to earn a bit of money, which was often theft .
One would also know how to hot wire motorbikes .
Then they would be fighting with the other kids from other areas .
Before you know it, you have a drinking , smoking thieving street kid who gets into fights and is out of control .
