So, despite the continuing negative media coverage that the youth of today seem to unrelentlessly receive there are examples of people who contradict this negative image.
I am aware that there are many examples of good deeds that performed by young adults and that they do sometimes be covered by the media. However, this example struck me and stuck with me.
On the way back from Colchester university on Sunday we, unfortunately, had to pull over onto the hard shoulder of the M25 and wait for mums car to cool down (this is as technical as I can get.) Also on the hard shoulder was an elderly couple who's car had broken down on the middle lane. However, it was a very hot day and they were obviously hot, slight distressed and a bit fed up with the whole situation.
Just as we pulled onto the hard shoulder a car pulled up beside the other car whist still on the travelling lane - there was a lot of traffic all travelling at about 5 miles an hour - and handed the elderly couple two unopened bottles of water.
The couple were obviously very grateful and offered to pay them back for it, the boys refused payment and everyone continued to go about their business.
Sorry, if this post seems a bit pointless and convoluted but I thought it was a charming story that for once shed a positive light.
