When the village starts holding kids responsible for their actions -- having them "suffer the consequences," -- then there will be change. As long as people are laughing at kid's antics, the problem will perpetuate. We don't have to "discipline" other people's children -- but we do need to be ready to say, "so and so did blah blah."
Also, if children are raised in a household in which they are held accountable, then they will be more respectful in public. If you want more information on this subject go to Loveandlogic.com -- they have wonderful audio tapes and books addressing everything there is to do with parenting -- including raising teens. Goodluck!
