I think it's fine. Let the kids have a little adventure in their lives, get arrested and get their asses kicked in prison. Get better policemen that don't sit around on their asses all day, so people don't have to duck under the windows every night to avoid gunfire. Uhh.. What's this debate about? Whether violence should be permitted or what?

Thats why parent should lecture about violent very early before kids hit puberty. Pubery is the age when people became more violent starts, mood swing problems, and etc.
Its best to teach kids before they hit puberty. after puperty, its hard to break down bad new habits because you liked it. There is alot more causes and effects about puberty. IMP. |

QUOTE(brownsugar08 @ Jul 13 2005, 2:48 PM) ^Me too..I live by Atlanta[Marietta]. I agree with what you said. Every place has it's bad parts. It's not just in the south. That's where my cousin Kim lives  Cool.But I think compared to violence in the South, I don't think it's as bad as it is here. I live 5 miles away from Compton. Gun shots are heard all the time at school. I have friends that go to Comtpon schools. They say a guy is expelled at least once every 5 months or less. I don't live in the South, but I can imagine what kind of violence goes on. But it's sort of the parent's fault for not properly teaching kids about how bad violence is ( unless they come from abusive backgrounds) ..Okay I'm just rambling on here. What's there to debate about? Or are we just expressing our thoughts? |

The decline of the good old cotton-pickin' slave-whuppin' culture has left kids with lots of idle time, which naturally leads to violence. |

its not just the south. kids think they are "all that" and a bag of potato chips and get in fights with their "rivals" it has nothing to do with the community around them, they are just flat out stupid.

any large concentrations of people also include large concentrations of bad people.
larger the town/city is, you go from just a bad person to a bad family to a bad street to a bad neighborhood. |

im from VA, and there is some teen violence in every state. every oh say, 2 months, we hear about some kid who brought a gun to school on the news. i mean, nothing in my school, since we're the preppiest school in richmond. but deep in the city is where it all happens. the sniper in what, 2003? i forget.

Teen violence is mainly caused by parents. When parents don't take good care of there children, they feel neglected and feel the need to look for different types of attention, hence violence. In order to stop teen violence we have to get to the root, which is advising parents to speak to their children about gang and violence, they'll listen, even though it doesn't look like it...

I think it's really immature to be killing everyone. If parents can't get through their heads then they need help. Personally from experience I don't like talking to shrinks so someone who doesn't act like a shrink could probably help them. I mean why do they even kill each other? Is it because of a mere insult? That's pretty pathetic. If there are other reasons please tell me. Even though it won't change a thing. Now I stated my thougnt, I think its pretty PATHETIC. When can they learn their lesson? When someone close dies? Or will they seek revenge? What will they do once they get their power? They should stop thinking so selfishly and think about what can happen to the future because of their foolishness. |
