Why are people so quick to be violent towards one another? There are so many reasons why people can be violent but one of my issues is teen violence. Teens can be so quick to react to what a person says about them but we won't help one another in time of need. The main thing is that we must find a better alternative for this problem.
Since last week, two boys where fighting because they were "repping" there "block" and they had a "beef" with one another. So the two of them fought and one boy breaks the other's nose. I feel that exact moment proved that the fight didn't need to take place because they were in school and they should have been in class. So the boy with the broken nose gets his boy with a gun and come backs to the school to find out were the boy was. They find him start to argue shoot in the air, then shoot him in the leg and in the neck. The boy dies. So that issue could have been prevented from ever happening by the two young men not speaking to one another or even just walking away.
So how many people you know have a gun that is theirs or someone elses that used it or say they will use it on some one? These are some of the reasons why we must be careful, because that person can be very dangerous. It starts with the teens today and we can't have this going on.
Teens today have it hard just living their normal lives day to day, but now that can't be the case when teenagers start endangering other people's lives. I think I can find a way to keep teens from having guns and not be as violent towards one another. I have to get this message out to all those that want to make a change with me. So join the Hugs not Bullets campaign and please help make that change.

where you and what u reap seems to be the big issue with violence of all sorts teens to day need to realize that what you feap not gone keep you out of prison or give you a good job or take care of your family its just gone get a life long sentence or 6 feet under the article was very informative.
This article is very true. We do need to get up and make a difference. If we didn't do it nowhere but in our schools that would make a huge difference because by changing one person you just convinced them to change someone else. This would go on and one and what you thought was a small change just changed a whole neighborhood. So if we stay positive and do the right thing we can make a difference.
Just keep being positive and lead by example by brushiing stuff off. You should have all of your freinds read this and the people in your school and just maybe their attitudes will be the same as yours.
This is something i had to deal with my self. I had to learn that repping my hood has not and would not get me any where. One of things i had to think about is we dont own the streets of the houses we were "Beefin" over the places or parents choose to live.
