The younger generation are the assets of a country and it is their duty to protect that history and respect it in all circumstances. The sincerity of the younger generation was seriously questioned when a popular historical site in England was recently vandalized by a group of irresponsible teenagers without thinking of the repercussions of their deplorable act. They not only damaged the public property but also risked the life of other visitors.

Brimham Rocks in North Yorkshire, England are a prime example of the historical heritage of the city. These rocks have existed for ages and carved by wind, rain and ice from the last 320 million years. But years of history were destroyed in a few seconds earlier this month.
