I said the same thing. But mine was like 20 years ago. I'm a resident of Florida and this pisses me off so bad. I make it a rule, every time I go to the beach I pick up a bag of trash when I leave.

The schools should hold their seniors accountable. They need to come here on a Saturday at 4am and clean the entire beach before sunrise. Failure to show up means you don’t walk for graduation.

It always kind of surprises me that teenagers do this stuff. When I was in high school (I’m a college JR right now) when my friends and would go out would always clean up wherever we went, we would always judge people for littering. We would even clean up everything at our table if we went out to eat ti make it easier for the waitress.
I think it depends on the city and area they're from...not saying all wealthy kids are spoiled, entitled brats, but it is usually those kids who think they're entitled to do whatever they want because they're 'rich' or in another language their 'daddy/mommy is rich'.
I just arrived around 6 and witnessed this horrendous mess and on top of that a random drunk minor picked a fight with a grown adult that was simply walking by. I blame the parents for allowing this disgusting behavior.
My Grandfather detested littering and he passed that on to me. No matter what it was he took it and properly disposed of it. The lack of respect many individuals display in their treatment of this precious earth God entrusted us with is astounding.

@Zac Braf ... the vast Majority of this kids are of Cuban decent and their parents are likely Republicans and have been using my hometown as their toilet for years.
We had a major issue with this for a few years during spring break. We were walking the beach passing out beads and coupons for our company. When we were getting ready to leave we saw 3 city workers cleaning the entire beach, so we stayed and helped (a total of 7). The newspaper found out what happened and took a picture of us cleaning the beach. The next day and every year since, the cops walk the beach and on horseback and make everyone pick up any trash that's within 10 feet of their set-ups, even if it isn't theirs. The paper took the picture from that first day, and compared it side by side with the next day and the first day of the next year. Needless to say, it hasn't been left trashed since.
Those kids are gonna get a rude awakening for the lack of respect they’ve displayed. Not only did they do this once but twice? Absolutely disgusting behavior.
@@mia1shooter They are NOT Anglos! Actually, they are mostly Cuban-Americans. Cubans come in all colors. Hispanic is NOT a race, it is an ETHNICITY! White Miami Cubans are mostly of pure Spanish origin. You, who is supposedly from MIA, should know how to distinguish whose who. The guy who was asked where the garbage cans were, was definitely "mestizo" (mixed race). Your racial detection skills are definitely not working.
These young adults were fed fast food and raised by game consoles, cell phones and Disney movies. They needed real, caring full-time parent(s)! Do not have children if the most important 24/7 full time job of your life is not for you- please!
Age has nothing to do with this, there are plenty of responsible young people - those responsible young people DIDN'T skip school and were in class while these guys trashed the beach I see people of all ages littering, I have senior citizens throwing cigarette butts in my yard all the time for instance
They are specifically speaking off high school ditch day no other days makes trash into the news,the youth are uneducated you can tell when they cry oppression does this cry oppression no spoiled and entitled do this crap
All those seniors that trashed the beach shouldn’t be allowed to graduate or at least not have a graduation ceremony. They made their schools look bad. Hopefully next years seniors are more respectful.
Something needs to be done at the local schools and parents needs to finally handle their bad kids. Stop giving these kids excuses cause their abusing the privileges that weren't given to actually generations that needed them. They have no respect for others (or elders) and have the gull to pick fights with random adults cause "they have rights". It's time for them to take accountability.
The city should go to the school district and find out who wasn’t in class that day. And those students should be given detention in the form of picking up trash. Community service.
@@RogueAtom_1 Thank you! Graduation is a privilege... when I was a senior, some of my classmates got caught smoking right before graduation, and their diplomas were held until they spent Saturday school cleaning the campus. Actions have consequences.
That is the reality that we are facing in Miami. It is so sad. "What is the city going to do about this?" That is not the question, the question should be what are PARENTS going to do about their kids?
I was raised to always leave a place better than I found it and hopefully I have instilled that into my three children. That method will never do you wrong.
So disgusting. We have a generation of self centered, self entitled spoiled teenagers, who will be horrible employees in the future. They never accept responsibility for anything.
Thank to every parent that didn’t teach there kids accountability at young ages! Most of these kids parents were too busy working. Teachers, coaches, nanny’s and siblings raised them while the parents gave them better lives then they had...
When they came back, the police should have been called for the crime that they committed. Littering is a crime. I wonder if destruction of property could be added as a charge.
@Zac Braf 🙄Selfish, inconsiderate, disrespectful, lack of morals and values having humans are to blame. This has nothing to do with politics.🤔 There are crappie people who do crappie things. You'll find them in every political affiliation and there are even some who don't identify with any political organizations. 😲
People are acting shocked that these kids were able to get away with all this, yet they literally say “the police were called but did not respond”. Tells you all you need to know right there
This is parenting age of no consequence. All parents from which ever school did it should pay and no Senior prom for disgracing their school and the community. Tough love never hurt and these teens are out of control.
Yes, mandatory community service and fines! If they are sure those were high school students skipping school, they should be easy to track. Work with the school truancy officers and track them down or random ID checks at the beach...?
"If you want the beaches available, you better learn to be responsible." Schools could bring kids back. As group community project. She would be great as a speaker first. Responsibility taught by schools since parents are not doing this often. Or Pro-Active prevention required. Teens...particularly in groups...can be so stupid without enough guidance. Need Cameras, IDs. Helps prevent drinking, drugs. Provide the dumpsters and cans, have charges to get on beach and say it is for clean-up. Have signs up warning don't leave anything behind. Leave it better. Or a 20 dollar fee returned if you clean up a bags worth. Those bags that were torn was probably done by the truly rotten people. Nothing new really. Honestly, I wish it was not cleaned up. The kids would not like coming back to the dirty beach. Kind of like when parents do not make kids clean their messes up. Never learn.
You’re right, the school should not give them any notice, tell the seniors to load up for a senior field trip and take them to the beach, pass out trash bags and tell them if they don’t clean their mess up, there will be no graduation. Somebody has to teach them that kind of behavior is unacceptable since their parents haven’t. That is wrong in so many ways.
@@erinnorwood6124 Yes. One or two days would have been okay, I think. Maybe someone watching over it. But absolutely. I think there may even be a machine that cleans it, actually but that is really not the point here. Annoying and disappointing. Very fixable though. Sounds like this was group influence with the "ehh, nobody else is cleaning up" mentality. Maybe not even a thought, busy having fun, maybe drinking, drugs. They were just not guided enough, I think. Most kids are not that uncaring. Just didn't think if it...the "duh, huh?? What are you talking about? Oh yeah, I guess we should clean up after ourselves" types. 🤦♀️ The more responsible ones were in school or home studying probably. 😉
These kids still don’t know how lucky they are to grow up in such a beautiful place and to be able to skip school by going down to the local beach. I grew up skipping school and going to Daytona Beach, but Idk if it’s because I actually lived/grew up in a rural, farming town down the road, or because I graduated almost 15 years ago (different generation) but, the people i went to high school with were never this disrespectful. Also, we’re allowed to drive our vehicles on Daytona’s Beach... I always threw my trash back in my truck bed and cleaned it out once I got home. But, Daytona’s Beaches never look this trashy.. or maybe it’s because I’m, usually, trashed when I’m there and I just don’t notice it. Lol. This is sad.
"It is increasingly common to see parents relinquishing authority to young children. Not long ago, kids knew who the boss was and it wasn't them" from the book "The Narcissism Epidemic"

I can't help but to shudder at the thought that these are the people who will be taking care of us in hospitals and nursing homes when we get older, and that they'll be filming our most vulnerable moments and posting it for a laugh on TikTok or whatever social media. Honestly, who's going to stop them and make the policies that tell them not to do it when the people in charge of them will only be a few years older than them and they'll most likely have the same stupid attitudes about what they honestly think is their God-given right to film everything and post it on social media? I put money on it that the supervisor(s) will be their friend/follower and will be laughing right along with them at the videos of the poor old person who they filmed in the hospital or nursing home.
@halfvideo yeah they do. Polluters everywhere. I didn't view this as pollution, although it is. I saw it as disrespectful, entitled, lazy, selfish, negative behavior by a small portion of the future of our country. A small portion of an increasing amount of others behaving the same. You and i, we are not alike.
Blaming the city? Great answer. Why do the Walmart parking lots have trash cans and why are they overflowing? I don’t see trash cans in other city Walmart parking lots. Sad
Something basic Missing in Florida Education Systems. They simply should identify the students and schools and make them all clean up the beaches for one year
It should be easy with smartphone technology. Wherever you travel with your phone, the signal bounces off any nearby towers, plus, it remains in contact with navigational satellites.
When I was in grade school our Education System in my grade school was Influenced by the consciousness of the 60s plus our community mindset. We did class projects of cleaning up and picking up things in our neighborhood. We talked a lot about pollution and Protecting our environment. We even planted a tree and before I moved to another country I went to visit the school and saw that tree some 30 years later now 50 years blooming with the joy of Children. When I talk to my classmates each one of us has a Social and environment Protection consciousness. If it's not done at home...educate at the school. That's what its for. Something useful for taking with you.
This literally happens every year where I live. I live on an island on the southeast coast of Georgia. It's about 30 minutes from flordia so every year during the week of the Georgia-Florida football game thousands of college kids and adult alumni flock to the beaches and proceed to get drunk and trash the place. Due to the economic boom it provides local business the local government turns a blind eye and often pays people to clean up after the football fans. They get the beaches clean but how much ends up being washed out to sea and ends up killing an untold number of marine animals? Just clean up after yourself...it's not hard.
I wish they could find out who all the students are that cut and slap fines on them or have the whole school come out and clean up the beach, sometimes it has nothing to do with the parents kids can be Jerks all on their own and the best thing to do is to hold them accountable before they become older jerks
I was born here and grew up in South Miami in the 70/80 as young teen , we skip school on Fridays and head to the 'South Beach, but we were another kind of Breed from our cars , clothes and nice things we earned as growing up , todays kids don't call this place home , we called it our Home till the end of our Lifes .
I can remember my mom signing me and my siblings up for community clean ups. I hated it, it also taught me not to throw trash on the ground. They need an adopt a beach program at schools to help keep them clean. My kids' school does it with roads and highways in our city.
Never leave it to a teen to clean up their own messes without being made to. Arrest them and sentence them to clean with supervision. Give them a rake and a supervisor and charge them or it will never stop.
Yep, this is what happens when parents don't beat manners and respect into their kids. They grow up stupid and undisciplined, thinking their actions have no consequences.
Hello, you can't blame all the parents, I'm sure that many of them have instructed their kids on what's right and what's wrong but who is to say that they were listened to ? Some of the parents would be horrified to see their child behaving in this manner !
Really sad and gets me pissed off obviously their parents have never taught them general respect and cleaning up these lazy parents these days don't know how to raise their kids right. Like it's the truth that just means the parents are just as bad I bet these kids parents are the type of people u see throwing trash and cigarettes out their window while driving
And the sad part is, some people do live like that. I had a roommate who lived like a pig, and I can say it's the worst thing ever. Lazy ppl are disgusting!
I was reading many of the comments and you are one of the few mentioning plastic pollution or the environment. To think there are so many kids who live with precious marine life around them and they just don't care it is so disheartening.
I’m sorry, but this almost looks like nothing to me. That 40 bags of trash they showed was less than ONE city corner in Chicago after the “Pride” parade. I say it like that because I saw nothing that day (the day it was ending for the weekend) that described pride. There were people hanging out of taxis puking in front of other people walking, NEEDLES on the ground for people to step on, and trash piled so high at every street corner during cleanup that it was taller than me. I have never seen people trash anything worse than what I saw in Chicago by people attending that “celebration”. 🙄 That was years ago and I haven’t seen anything near as bad since then, as far as being trashed. I’m not saying this isn’t sad. But there are things that happen on a regular basis that are worse that no one does anything about. Also, the first person to mention that they have people who are paid to clean up after the parade… YOU didn’t almost have a dirty needle in your foot. I did. It takes TIME to clean up the MASSIVE disaster they make and SOME people have to deal with it afterwards. Not everyone leaves the city when the parade is done.
Amazing that our visitors would care so much more than our residents kids to keep our beaches beautiful I thank them from the bottom of my heart for caring ❤️. I live up in Northern Florida now and I truly miss Louie Aguirre ❤️✌️🤘🙌
Moms and dads are more concerned about being their child's best friend. Gotta be the cool parents that are seen on their kids social media apps and blogs.
I’m from miami and graduated in 2005! Senior skip day was always lit at the beach but we’ve always took our trash with us! This is a new kind of generation 🤦🏾♀️
When, when are the parents going to be blamed for raising punks?? These days, teens are so disrespectful to just about anything or anyone (not all teens)!
The school administration should’ve been able to advise of this randomly high number of senior students absent for the day… alert authorities to be on the lookout and monitor them. It’s simple 🤷🏾♀️
150 hours community service a count of littering for each time and they have to do the community service on the hottest and most humid days including a half hour in long underwear long t-shirt black hoodie & black denim jeans. 95 degrees 80% humidity doing beach clean-up or those same conditions cleaning up a freshly paved asphalt parking lot. or have them work 72 hours in a nursing home bathing and changing 75 or older dementia patients.
It sounds like the whole senior class needs to be assigned community service. Teachers and parents need to help enforce this. These kids aren't ready to graduate until they learn what it takes to be a responsible citizen.

These young adults were fed fast food and raised by game consoles, cell phones and Disney movies. They needed real, caring full-time parent(s)! Do not have children if the most important 24/7 full time job of your life is not for you- please!
@@jansonshine9082 absolutely right.
Age has nothing to do with this, there are plenty of responsible young people - those responsible young people DIDN'T skip school and were in class while these guys trashed the beach
I see people of all ages littering, I have senior citizens throwing cigarette butts in my yard all the time for instance
Sad perfectly👍
They are specifically speaking off high school ditch day no other days makes trash into the news,the youth are uneducated you can tell when they cry oppression does this cry oppression no spoiled and entitled do this crap
All those seniors that trashed the beach shouldn’t be allowed to graduate or at least not have a graduation ceremony. They made their schools look bad. Hopefully next years seniors are more respectful.
Something needs to be done at the local schools and parents needs to finally handle their bad kids. Stop giving these kids excuses cause their abusing the privileges that weren't given to actually generations that needed them. They have no respect for others (or elders) and have the gull to pick fights with random adults cause "they have rights". It's time for them to take accountability.
The city should go to the school district and find out who wasn’t in class that day. And those students should be given detention in the form of picking up trash. Community service.
Yeah, send them back to do the same thing...No thanks...
YES!! NO GRADUATION WITHOUT COMMUNITY SERVICE TRASH PICK UP PARTICIPATION!!
@@ladyaly864 No, read my comment again. Send them back to PICK UP TRASH, not leave more behind. 🤦🏻♀️
@@sugarshannie623 that’s actually a great idea!
@@RogueAtom_1 Thank you! Graduation is a privilege... when I was a senior, some of my classmates got caught smoking right before graduation, and their diplomas were held until they spent Saturday school cleaning the campus. Actions have consequences.
That is the reality that we are facing in Miami. It is so sad. "What is the city going to do about this?" That is not the question, the question should be what are PARENTS going to do about their kids?
Eh.. clean up after them!?
These kids are may as well be adults now seeing they’re seniors. They need to be held responsible not their parents
They should invest most of their time and effort raising their children triaged as a high priority, or keep their pants zipped.

@@mrsatire9475 yea it is you libs are the biggest hypocrites
I was raised to always leave a place better than I found it and hopefully I have instilled that into my three children. That method will never do you wrong.
Right?! My guiding principle 💯💫
Gee. Irresponsible high school kids leaving a huge mess someplace. Shocking.
I'm a teen and seeing this makes me so mad, I have enough respect for a beautiful place like this to clean up after myself 😠
So disgusting. We have a generation of self centered, self entitled spoiled teenagers, who will be horrible employees in the future. They never accept responsibility for anything.
They'll hire somebody else along to clean the mess up for a fraction of the price.
Thank to every parent that didn’t teach there kids accountability at young ages! Most of these kids parents were too busy working. Teachers, coaches, nanny’s and siblings raised them while the parents gave them better lives then they had...
Ya’ll raised them 🤷🏽♂️
Not every teenager in this generation is like that. I’m 19 (still in my teenage years) and I would never do something like these teens.

When they came back, the police should have been called for the crime that they committed. Littering is a crime. I wonder if destruction of property could be added as a charge.
@Zac Braf 🙄Selfish, inconsiderate, disrespectful, lack of morals and values having humans are to blame. This has nothing to do with politics.🤔 There are crappie people who do crappie things.

This is parenting age of no consequence. All parents from which ever school did it should pay and no Senior prom for disgracing their school and the community. Tough love never hurt and these teens are out of control.
The kids that did that, probably don't go to prom.
Are you kidding me! Take a look at the mess??? That is a typical all out senior bash. Wake up to the cool life. Sorry if you weren’t invited :(
@@sallyhildreth3663 Nah its the kids who are at school on skip day who arent going to prom 🤣🤣🤣
Mandatory community service for the students
Yes, mandatory community service and fines! If they are sure those were high school students skipping school, they should be easy to track. Work with the school truancy officers and track them down or random ID checks at the beach...?
I totally agree. However, the liberals would say it’s racist. We need good parents and Trump back. Trump for 2024! 🇺🇸
@@travelingdude1621 tRump is the epitome of bad parenting. Just look at those first three blunders of his.

"If you want the beaches available, you better learn to be responsible." Schools could bring kids back. As group community project. She would be great as a speaker first. Responsibility taught by schools since parents are not doing this often.
Or Pro-Active prevention required. Teens...particularly in groups...can be so stupid without enough guidance. Need Cameras, IDs. Helps prevent drinking, drugs. Provide the dumpsters and cans, have charges to get on beach and say it is for clean-up. Have signs up warning don't leave anything behind. Leave it better.
Or a 20 dollar fee returned if you clean up a bags worth. Those bags that were torn was probably done by the truly rotten people. Nothing new really.
Honestly, I wish it was not cleaned up. The kids would not like coming back to the dirty beach. Kind of like when parents do not make kids clean their messes up. Never learn.
You’re right, the school should not give them any notice, tell the seniors to load up for a senior field trip and take them to the beach, pass out trash bags and tell them if they don’t clean their mess up, there will be no graduation. Somebody has to teach them that kind of behavior is unacceptable since their parents haven’t. That is wrong in so many ways.
Give those stupid kids a fine. Maybe a fine of $1000 dollars and put them in jail.
Wildlife safety tho. :(
@@erinnorwood6124 Yes. One or two days would have been okay, I think. Maybe someone watching over it. But absolutely. I think there may even be a machine that cleans it, actually but that is really not the point here. Annoying and disappointing. Very fixable though.
Sounds like this was group influence with the "ehh, nobody else is cleaning up" mentality. Maybe not even a thought, busy having fun, maybe drinking, drugs. They were just not guided enough, I think. Most kids are not that uncaring. Just didn't think if it...the "duh, huh?? What are you talking about? Oh yeah, I guess we should clean up after ourselves" types. 🤦♀️
The more responsible ones were in school or home studying probably. 😉
It was probably adults who did it and are blaming kids
Something needs done about this, they need to be held accountable!
These kids still don’t know how lucky they are to grow up in such a beautiful place and to be able to skip school by going down to the local beach. I grew up skipping school and going to Daytona Beach, but Idk if it’s because I actually lived/grew up in a rural, farming town down the road, or because I graduated almost 15 years ago (different generation) but, the people i went to high school with were never this disrespectful. Also, we’re allowed to drive our vehicles on Daytona’s Beach... I always threw my trash back in my truck bed and cleaned it out once I got home. But, Daytona’s Beaches never look this trashy.. or maybe it’s because I’m, usually, trashed when I’m there and I just don’t notice it. Lol. This is sad.
The litter-bugs aren't kids, but pigs! They should all be cited and forced to do weekend trash pick-up at those beaches for a month.

@@christins.1481 agreed.... thankfully there are some really good kids out there. But the number of bad is increasing exponentially it seems. I almost feel like I'm less and less proud to be an American. Almost.....
I can't help but to shudder at the thought that these are the people who will be taking care of us in hospitals and nursing homes when we get older, and that they'll be filming our most vulnerable moments and posting it for a laugh on TikTok or whatever social media.
Honestly, who's going to stop them and make the policies that tell them not to do it when the people in charge of them will only be a few years older than them and they'll most likely have the same stupid attitudes about what they honestly think is their God-given right to film everything and post it on social media?
I put money on it that the supervisor(s) will be their friend/follower and will be laughing right along with them at the videos of the poor old person who they filmed in the hospital or nursing home.
@halfvideo???
@halfvideo yeah they do. Polluters everywhere. I didn't view this as pollution, although it is. I saw it as disrespectful, entitled, lazy, selfish, negative behavior by a small portion of the future of our country. A small portion of an increasing amount of others behaving the same. You and i, we are not alike.
Blaming the city? Great answer. Why do the Walmart parking lots have trash cans and why are they overflowing? I don’t see trash cans in other city Walmart parking lots. Sad
This proves it isn't homeless families the ones who litter the most, sad.
Shameful. The parents must be so proud. I vote for putting the students in prison for 1 year.
🤣🤣
HEY..THAT MIGHT HELP..
nah they need to get rocked
And the Same for all the adults that litter
Something basic Missing in Florida Education Systems. They simply should identify the students and schools and make them all clean up the beaches for one year
It should be easy with smartphone technology. Wherever you travel with your phone, the signal bounces off any nearby towers, plus, it remains in contact with navigational satellites.
Nop, the problem is in home. No education.
When I was in grade school our Education System in my grade school was Influenced by the consciousness of the 60s plus our community mindset. We did class projects of cleaning up and picking up things in our neighborhood. We talked a lot about pollution and Protecting our environment. We even planted a tree and before I moved to another country I went to visit the school and saw that tree some 30 years later now 50 years blooming with the joy of Children. When I talk to my classmates each one of us has a Social and environment Protection consciousness. If it's not done at home...educate at the school. That's what its for. Something useful for taking with you.
Make all the seniors that skipped come back and do public service for a week.
And why should the city "do something about this" when parents failed?
"Shocked" that seniors skipping school left a beach a mess? I couldn't think of anything less shocking TBH.
This literally happens every year where I live. I live on an island on the southeast coast of Georgia. It's about 30 minutes from flordia so every year during the week of the Georgia-Florida football game thousands of college kids and adult alumni flock to the beaches and proceed to get drunk and trash the place. Due to the economic boom it provides local business the local government turns a blind eye and often pays people to clean up after the football fans. They get the beaches clean but how much ends up being washed out to sea and ends up killing an untold number of marine animals? Just clean up after yourself...it's not hard.
SAME OLD SAME OLD….Miami Beach is beautiful, the people aint.
I wish they could find out who all the students are that cut and slap fines on them or have the whole school come out and clean up the beach, sometimes it has nothing to do with the parents kids can be Jerks all on their own and the best thing to do is to hold them accountable before they become older jerks
I was born here and grew up in South Miami in the 70/80 as young teen , we skip school on Fridays and head to the 'South Beach, but we were another kind of Breed from our cars , clothes and nice things we earned as growing up , todays kids don't call this place home , we called it our Home till the end of our Lifes .
And you littered on the beach
Unruly. Zero home training
I can remember my mom signing me and my siblings up for community clean ups. I hated it, it also taught me not to throw trash on the ground. They need an adopt a beach program at schools to help keep them clean. My kids' school does it with roads and highways in our city.
When you buy a high school student a car this happens.
Let them take the bus until graduation!
So true!
@@victoriahope8371 Oh no, taking the bus for three months. Seriously, major changes need to be made in their lives.

@@vandarkholme7759 when someone kill you, you become their slave.
Let them out of school to clean up their mess. Unfortunately this is kids today.
Never leave it to a teen to clean up their own messes without being made to. Arrest them and sentence them to clean with supervision. Give them a rake and a supervisor and charge them or it will never stop.
Thing is that's how they treat their home, mommies usually takes care of it!
Then why do adults litter
The future of America...
The future ain't what it used to be.
Force those hoods to clean the beach
Yep, this is what happens when parents don't beat manners and respect into their kids. They grow up stupid and undisciplined, thinking their actions have no consequences.
Then why did kids do the same decade's ago when hitting a kid was legal
The district should ban that high school from having senior skip day. And make them have a senior cleanup day.
Good job parents!
Hello, you can't blame all the parents, I'm sure that many of them have instructed their kids on what's right and what's wrong but who is to say that they were listened to ? Some of the parents would be horrified to see their child behaving in this manner !
Really sad and gets me pissed off obviously their parents have never taught them general respect and cleaning up these lazy parents these days don't know how to raise their kids right. Like it's the truth that just means the parents are just as bad I bet these kids parents are the type of people u see throwing trash and cigarettes out their window while driving
Apparently the schools don't either...My teachers must be rolling in their graves, watching the teachers of today...
And the sad part is, some people do live like that. I had a roommate who lived like a pig, and I can say it's the worst thing ever. Lazy ppl are disgusting!
Hey, hey. I’m a pig, my room is a mess, but do I leave my stuff in nature? No. That’s different. Pick up after yourself.
I read it as “High school students skipping class to clean up Miami Beach” so now I’m disappointed smh
The governor probably came in an yelled at the cleaners saying, "Stop doing this and makeing a theater out of it! You're like those mask-wearers!"
Watching this makes me sad because I'm currently a senior and at school we were learning about how micro plastics affect the ocean environment.
I was reading many of the comments and you are one of the few mentioning plastic pollution or the environment. To think there are so many kids who live with precious marine life around them and they just don't care it is so disheartening.
Senior Skip Day in 1982, Atlanta. We went to Piedmont Park and took trash bags with us to clean up before we left. People today are so entitled.

This is what happens when it becomes a crime to spank your kids. Oh, and btw, time-out NEVER works.
I’m sorry, but this almost looks like nothing to me. That 40 bags of trash they showed was less than ONE city corner in Chicago after the “Pride” parade. I say it like that because I saw nothing that day (the day it was ending for the weekend) that described pride. There were people hanging out of taxis puking in front of other people walking, NEEDLES on the ground for people to step on, and trash piled so high at every street corner during cleanup that it was taller than me. I have never seen people trash anything worse than what I saw in Chicago by people attending that “celebration”. 🙄 That was years ago and I haven’t seen anything near as bad since then, as far as being trashed.
I’m not saying this isn’t sad. But there are things that happen on a regular basis that are worse that no one does anything about.
Also, the first person to mention that they have people who are paid to clean up after the parade… YOU didn’t almost have a dirty needle in your foot. I did. It takes TIME to clean up the MASSIVE disaster they make and SOME people have to deal with it afterwards. Not everyone leaves the city when the parade is done.
Unacceptable
The bigger question is what are the parents and the schools going to do?
RETURN THE ENTIRE CLASS TO CLEAN UP THE MESS. THE ONES WHO WEREN'T INVOLVED WILL TEACH A LESSON TO THOSE WHO WERE. STUDENT JUSTICE..!!

150 hours community service a count of littering for each time and they have to do the community service on the hottest and most humid days including a half hour in long underwear long t-shirt black hoodie & black denim jeans. 95 degrees 80% humidity doing beach clean-up or those same conditions cleaning up a freshly paved asphalt parking lot. or have them work 72 hours in a nursing home bathing and changing 75 or older dementia patients.
Do it yourself
This is disrespectful and rude to the people that clean up the beach a 9 year could do that high schoolers should know better
It sounds like the whole senior class needs to be assigned community service. Teachers and parents need to help enforce this. These kids aren't ready to graduate until they learn what it takes to be a responsible citizen.
