"Bad Boy Soup"

We read an article about how authority has an effect upon the future of individuals. The way the authoritative figures behave has a direct impact upon the growth of teenagers. When boys act out and then receive positive feedback from either their teachers or local law enforces, they not only do more crimes, but they also assume that they can get away with it. This tends to happen with boys who are white. For minorities, teachers and cops are said to treat them poorly from the beginning, causing them to resent their society. It seems like societies prefer white teens over minorities, even when they commit equally bad crimes. I've recognized this trend when I watch movies like "Coach Carter" and "Freedom Writers". Those movies portray black kids in a society that resents them. It's almost as though their society sets them up for failure. Because of that, they tend to not have a future ahead of them.
