Violence

Tikresha Warren

Violence is not always the way to solve a problem. Violence can lead minors 12 and under into bad situations if they see people handling things with violence. They might end up doing the same thing because they’ve seen that person or gang do it.

I think that teens should stop the violence and become mentors like V'Lecia Hunter a.k.a. (The Queen). They would see a much brighter future coming their way. That is one way to handle violence.

I believe that violence will not help you. It will just bring you to things like negative peer pressure. Violence will not follow you through life and help you make it through school. Violence will just start more fuel to your fire.



In conclusion I believe in STOPPING the violence because in my neighborhood people just keep doing violence and I want to stop it because Martin L. King wouldn’t like it. Rosa wouldn’t like it. So I believe that you shouldn’t believe in violence. You should just believe in yourself and trust you will make it very far in the future. So people stand up if you don’t believe in violence!
