In my paper I was
talking about youth violence around Memphis. Over 400 young people have died
from violence caused by other people of the same age group last year. It is one
thing that people can take another person’s life but it becomes real sad that
its young people that are killing each other. The cause for this is because
most of the teens do not have the positive role models in their life to show
them right from wrong. Young people are also causing violence upon others
because they have been involved in fights, or have been bullied and they feel
like there is no one to help them with their situation, which causes them to
take matters into their own hands. If only they had something productive to do
with their time then they would not have time to cause problems within their
community. Young people also need that role model to show them the right path
to travel so they would know how to live a positive life. Getting involved into
school or non-school extracurricular activities can also reduce the crime rate
amongst young people. Extracurricular activities give young people the positive
role model they need. It also is a way for them to make new friends, help with
the future, and get know themselves and how to handle different situations in a
positive manner.
Hey :)
ReplyDeleteI just wonder if you had any difficulties with you topic. For example, did you had trouble to find some good source material (well I believe not) or was it easy for you to start writing about your issue (it sounds like it). Additionally, is this the first problem you came up with? I know I had to change my issue twice. Overall, the way you describe the youth violence problem, I think you have a clear imagination about what you want to state with your paper. You are definitely against it and would like to change it – is that right? It is also out of the same field like my own problem; I decided to write about the underage drinking habits, which concentrates on the youth, too. I can write a really good paper about this issue.
Yes I did have problems with my topic it is hard to find sources about how extracurricular activities tie into how it can help reduce the violence rate of the younger generation today. i know what i want to say but when i have to find sources that is when it get really complicated. i am against it becuase it is wrong that people are doing hurtful things to one another. underage drinking is definitely a problem and i think that is a very good topic to write about.
DeleteHey!
ReplyDeleteyes young people need someone like they can look up to. A positive influence in their life, and its wrong to take their own life. you're right, they should have been more productive with their life. they can be a voice for next generation to stop the violence. Bully are everywhere in school, i dont understand why young teenagers bully the weak one. i thought maybe they wanted to be cool, but it never cool. it downright wrong to bully someone. maybe you should look into Bullying more because i think its has more source than young gang violence. Bullying need to stop, and young people who bully, need to be teach lesson in hard way..
i dont know why people bully other people. sometimes you have walk in their shoes to see why they are doing the things they are doing. i am not saying that it is right because it is not. maybe it is some kind of Psychological problems they have. it seems like you should write your paper about bullying seeing how it makes you really upset. no but bulyying is a problem that needs to be stopped.
DeleteI believe that you are correct in the research you have done;young people are acting out and killing simply because of no role models. Something else you might want to add to your topic can be today's young people are HEAVILY influenced by everything they see, hear, and do. When you turn on the tv, all you hear and see is violence, especially when watching the news. When you turn on the radio, if the song is not about sex, it is about some form of violence. Even when hanging around their friends, their conversations can easily be turned into some type of violence. That's the way today's society has raised young people to think and be, and it is a very, very sad case. I also like the point you made about the kids being bullied and they take matters into their own hands. This happened on so many cases which can lead to very bad situations such has all of the high school and college shootings that we hear about. But, great topic, and I hope you do well on your paper!
