However, having lived in Great Falls for my whole life and now living in Tacoma, I've realized how narrow the scope of opportunities for youth in Great Falls are. I always had a notion of it, but looking at it from the outside and in comparison to other places, Great Falls really needs to start accepting its youth. We can be noisy, disruptive, and yes, even destructive, but we aren't any less noisy, disruptive, and destructive when we choose to do silly illegal things, and we aren't going away. Just a thought.
