Peachtree City is a community in denial. There’s a huge contradiction in the services that the city offers to teenagers. Mayor Logsdon’s comment in the other newspaper about there’s plenty for teenagers to do is ridiculous.

I’ve raised children in this community for almost 15 years and a lot of things are missing. If your child plays sports, they will be all right if they can make it onto the local school teams. However, if your teenager doesn’t like sports or band, you’ve got big problems in Peachtree City.

Mayor Logsdon doesn’t have a clue. Steve Brown knew how to read the teenagers but he also relished kicking the old school guys in the pants for their bad conduct too much. It probably helped that Brown had young children.

Logsdon is a retiree and it’s obvious he’s going to put little effort into our young people.

The time is now to get off of our apathetic rear-ends and start demanding programs for our teenagers that don’t just revolve around athletics. Sports programs are wonderful but social interaction is what teenagers need the most.
