What is antisocial behaviour? 

There are three main categories for antisocial behaviour, depending on how many people are affected: 

• Personal antisocial behaviour is when a person targets a specific individual or group. 

• Nuisance antisocial behaviour is when a person causes trouble, annoyance or suffering to a community. 

• Environmental antisocial behaviour is when a person’s actions affect the wider environment, such as public spaces or buildings. 

Antisocial behaviour might feel like fun in the moment, but it’s not worth the regret. Keep it respectful and stay out of trouble. 

You’ve got goals – don’t let antisocial behaviour hold you back. Today’s choices impact tomorrow’s reality. Antisocial behaviour? Not worth it. Stay focused. 

Don’t be a mug, respect others. Real strength is staying out of trouble. Say no to antisocial behaviour and choose respect. You’re better than a bad decision. 

Be the positive influence. Antisocial behaviour only drags you down. Respect yourself and others around you.
