that is one tough gang of 30 year old high school students!

these dudes stealing pencils lmao

Nasty gang! They flunked out and have been held back in high school at least 15 years. Not one of them looks under thirty,

The gang patch looked like the design on my Mighty Mouse underwear fifty years ago.

Please remember these gang patches we're hand crafted long before Martha Stewart came out with a fool proof gang patch stencil kit.

Has this EVER actually happened? COMON! Your highschool friends are casually beating up adults... And it just so happens to be your DAD? This is surreal as heck

I still feel like a delinquent, I love root beer floats, and I'm 30... This looks like the gang for me!

Still don't get why the gang guys were trying to stop them from arguing AGAINST a curfew for teens...? But like others have suggested, they looked like they were in their 30's so I guess it wouldn't apply to them...

You’d think they would know it’s his dad that they hurt

Wow to think just an educational video could be this intense o.O

"Son, you have angel hair pasta on your shirt!"

Wow! This is one of the most dramatic films of this type I’ve ever seen!

Gee these fellas were swell actors!

The "teenagers" look like guys in their 30's.

the best line ever, even better than Brando's line, "where are you going Jamie?", "If I knew Id tell you, I don't know." haahahahahah

That is the least scary gang on the planet. They sewed boy scout patches on their letterman jackets🤣

He ripped off that patch and slammed it down with no sound effects. The idea that they stole his dad’s pencil is enough for Jamie to change his ways

Indeed the proper name of this film should have been - "You Kicked My Daddy's Ass"

The Malt shop ...so deliquent

So funny how the gang was scared of the skinny old teacher

We need more teachers like the lady teacher in the hall. Nobody would be sleeping with their teacher.

These dudes had money to buy cars go out for food everyday and hang out together at the same time I’m so fucking jealous.

This is jolly exciting stuff. Thank you for posting it.

These are much better than modern TV.

They’re living in a gangsters paradise 😂

Why are these thugs dressed like a singing quintet or space rangers? (3:20). Back in those days it was the leather motorcycle jacket look...much like 'the fonz'.

At 11:27 you see Bret Waller who was in a few Social Hygiene films, like The Snob, and The Trouble Maker. He later worked at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

Didn't he call the cops? Shouldn't the "boys" get assault charges?

So they talked like old people even when they were 45 year old high school students?? amazing

Dang. We been baited by a 1955 educational video. Way to leave us with a cliffhanger.

I like how they leave it up to you to think about and do what you should do to control the situation even if it means someone going to jail because the juveniles don't listen. It is as good lesson today as it was when this was produced.

This one had me on the edge! Even with that loud door bang at 8:50

"Aw cut it out, we'll get in a jam!"

Kinda loving these..

that is one well crafted felt patch, the "gang" wear!

dang the dude they bumped in the rear at first looked like he could have been in the Italian Mob. Big mistake...

Tunnel Snakes Rule!!

They’re so excited about a pencil!

I WANT TO KNOW THE FREAKING ENDING damn't those video are good

6:21 ---> "We don't wanna punish all teenagers for the trouble a few are causing. But, something hasta be done. You know how serious the Juvenile Delinquency problem has become. We hafta take some action to prevent this sort of thing from happening, again...." - Still relavent in 2023.

🎵 No-no-no I’m not a juvenile delinquent 🎵

Funny how the son is listening to 1920's jazz.

It basically said “ Don’t be a fuckup kids!”

the guy in the white car is special forces and crushes the 3 hooligans windpipes

I born yrs 1955s I hasn't forgotten these films, abouts those teenagers, they are actor's, but did'nt realizes the man they had frightening it's his father's, but those guys did'nt knows never met before.. Now father, it's so suspicously. Happy birthday former actors, teenagers.. 78s yrs, old 79s yrs old 84s yrs, old 83s yrs old 82 yrs old, 81yrs old 80s yrs old, most are gones and others still lived today 2023s,

As MST3K or Rifftrax (I forget when), the guys did do a fun job of adding commentary throughout. On its own, it is still a fine avenue to student discussion: Here are things which our society cannot allow, conducted by a small margin - What do YOU, as another youth, suggest we do to quell such behavior?

thanks

6:42 hey it's The Troublemaker!

This is the third production that I've heard that recording of orchestral music used during its opening credits in. The first was a cheap 1962 gothic horror flick titled "Dungeon of Harrow" and the second was a health & safety psa from the 50s.

The patch is from trumps space force

Why are they still at school at 40?

I wish the juvenile delinquency problem today was what it was in the 50's. At least they used their fist's and not a gun.

One last...something about the reflection in the eagle's eye makes me think of the hammer and sickle. I guess it's just something subliminal my own goofy brain saw.

"We didnt kick a red statue!"

Damn, the mayor's pulling out the knife hands. Lol

Teen gangs?! What kinda gay patch are they wearing

They need to make examples out of these delinquents. Show them what happens to them to the public when you brake the law.

MichaelHansenFUN, it's part of a collection on Alpha Home Video on '50's Teens.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

I love the stock music footage (like from the old b&w Superman shows in the early 50s) See 7:53 - 8:50.

This kept me from wanting to join a gang and I graduated high school 25 years ago.

It's weird, watching this without the comedic commentary. MST3K did this short before "The Atomic Brain".

Just like today as always. Only difference is that they are even more violent.

"What would YOU say?".... (said in a sinister, evil scientist voice)...hehe

The 1950’s were the best!

Dude at 6:25...first off, whose father is he? He looks like he should be working at an advertising firm 😂, his face has some STRONG features! And then he had the nerve to be the tallest person of the group! He’s cute tho.

Here’s what I think happened: Jamie confessed to the crimes that he committed and stated that as soon as he found out it was dad who was beaten up, he left the gang of kids he was hanging around with. He named them and apologized for what happened. The other kids who weren’t delinquent forgave him and he eventually went steady with Sally. Jamie got six months probation for the crimes he was a part of and did community service to pay the fines he was given. His parents were furious with him at first, however, they eventually forgave him. The gang of kids however were sentenced to 10 years in prison for their crimes; they went to a reform school/prison until aged 21 then did the rest of their sentences at the state prison. After they got out of prison, they looked Jamie up, who had now gotten married to Sally, became a lawyer, moved to New Orleans, and had two children; Jamie Jr age 8 and Rosa age 6. They went to New Orleans to settle the score with Jamie and kidnapped Jamie Jr as leverage. The police got involved and arrested them for kidnapping the boy the following week. Jamie Jr was okay physically, however, had suffered from PSTD for years as a result of the kidnapping. The gang of kids(now adults)were tried and convicted for kidnapping; they were sentenced to life imprisonment as a result. After the ordeal, Jamie, Sally, and their two children moved into a house near their hometown and lived happily ever after.

Ain't nothing changed but the way we look since then

Keep watching these films thinking how none of them wear jeans. They do here but it's the bad guys that do.

2:31-2:34 Use the doors please, instead of not using the doors, next thing you know you're beating up Gordon Jump.

The Metropolitan voice will forever be a classic to me idc what anyone thinks 😂😂😂

Little did the lost generation know is that one day this would be even wrose.

is this on dvd anywhere?

That gang leader looks familiar.

Lol.... When I came in here, there was 420 likes on a movie about juvenile delinquency 😆

And you people said this old attitude was wrong. Seems pretty accurate to me. We need to revisit the "corny" stamp of condemnation that they've assigned these obvious "truths".

Those 50's delinquents are all alike, just as back in the 90's West side compton.

7:20 I can tell he’s reading 😂

take them to court , have them arrested,let them pay for their crimes

Throw this entire comment section away 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fonzi and Richy would have set them straight, and Arnolds would be saved with no curfew.

This is PSA (Public Sevice Announcement) programming so the filming maybe highly stylized theoretical to many observers.

Some of the background music is from the first season of the Adventures of Superman

Is that Martin Sheen? The leader of the gang with the funny patches is Martin Sheen.

Back when street gangs had uniforms

2:46 Society has pretty much gone to hell when gangs of young thugs will stoop to stealing mechanical pencils.

If I were the student I will just report the ones causing trouble

Many the bad kids have problems at home that noone understands.

3:11 Waaait a minute . . .

If they only knew what youngsters are doing now in the year 1969

High School kids looked old back then

I love this old 1950s shit lol

and where'd did all these young men wind up.... :(

One dude on a twlight zone episode

Cue My Chemical Romance "Teenagers" at 1:25

The real REBELS WITHOUT A CAUSE

take away teenage drivers licenses for juvenile delinquents

That is one well dressed gang

I gotta know, what did he do at the end? lol

A clockwork Orange ?
