Angry teen makes home drive-thru
They Say:
“Police say a furious teenager who drove a car through the centre of his family home on Tuesday night did so in a bid to get back at his mother after an argument. It’s believed the 18-year-old had a heated exchange with his mum before he deliberately drove through the Shailer Park home about 11pm, chalking up a $30,000 damage bill.
He passed a breath test and police are waiting on the results of blood tests to determine if drugs were involved. Police said he appeared confused when questioned. Last night, police had not charged the teenager and were expected to wait for the results of blood tests before deciding if charges should be pressed. It was not known when the blood results would be available.”

Jesus Christ, when did the youth of Australia stop using knives and guns to express themselves, a fucking car!!! What a fucking little twerp, when I was a kid you used your mouth to voice your dissatisfaction at something, not drive a fucking car into the house!
The drug tests results are still not available, well if positive it would explain a lot… If not, that is one fucked up puppy…
If Australian mothers are anything to go by, this kid will be beaten with a wooden spoon to within an inch of his life, and fucking right too! By the looks of the pictures, the damage he did WITH the car are worth MORE than the car, make it at least a Commodore next time… you Dickwad…..

I say Bring back the wooden spoon. Youth these days don’t know how to take true discipline.

i think if the child was given the respect that parents have decided we no longer deserve, then this may not have happened. children go to these lengths because they’ve tried everything else they can think of. kids aren’t evil, they’re just learning how to deal with the world; it’s hard. the stress you say “they’re not really going through” is the most stress they have ever had. issues that don’t seem that big to us are the first time they have had to deal with something like that.
it’s just unfortunate that so many parents have a problem with teaching their children how the world actually works, not how they think it should run.

But to drive a car into your own house? I agree with your points totally, you would expect him to pick up a knife or lash out with fists, but a car?

This is what happens when adults - parents - refuse to listen to their children and arrogantly adopt the stance that they possess all knowledge, all wisdom and get to have the final say in every discussion … or argument, as it usually concludes as if the child doesn’t quickly capitulate to the wishes of the parent.
If driving a car into the family home is the only way to get the parents to wake up and realise that their “authority” is only as strong as their experience-born ability to better articulate their own point of view then so be it.
Who cares about the damage to property - that’s irrelevant; we’re talking about the emotional and psychological development of a young man - a human being. That’s far more important than some broken Gyprock.
Who do you think you are?

Nathanael, see above, don’t see many kids driving their cars into their parents houses though… Kind of extreme in my world, very extreme… If this is his way of expressing his feelings, he’s in for a tough life…
