Two Alaska teens were charged with burglary after breaking into a Fairbanks area home. Why did they do it? Because they were bored, they said.

I get that being bored is a huge bummer sometimes, but it doesn't warrant illegal activity. What do you think about the Alaska teens' behavior?

I think just as many teens in Portland, Oregon do the same thing. What's your point???

Yep, teens do that in every state and just about every city, town or village.

I think about it the same way when teens do this in any state. Here's a recent one from Oregon from last week.

So what do you think about the Oregon Teens behavior?

Breaking News: Alaska Teens are Bored.

Stop the presses! The rest of the world is full of happy, engaged teenagers who are never bored.

I broke into a bunch of places as a teen, just to see if I could. Didn't steal anything. I guess I have to give myself some credit for being smart enough not to get caught, at least, but it was extremely stupid.
