Why Does Vandalism Occur?

Why does vandalism occur? Vandalism is everywhere, why do it? It is stupid and reckless, not to mention illegal! It occurs because of bad choices you as a person make, like who you surround yourself around and the friends you choose. Or because of the mood or mindset you are in.

Talk to someone, relieve your stress in a way that won’t harm, or destroy anything or anyone.
The best advise I would give for someone that comes from a bad background would be to get counseling or talk to someone before you take your problems out in a way that is illegal or irrational.

Don’t make bad choices when it comes to choosing your friends, and don’t let someone talk you into something you don’t want to do. Don’t be stupid and reckless! Why be the bad kid on the block when you don’t
