Teen Violence
Aug 24 2007, 1:52 AM EDT
Teen violence is a growing concern nowadays. Violence in the media--whether through cartoons, movies, tv shows or music--has strangely lead people to believe that it is alright to cause harm or violence out in the public. In fact, many believe that the media is to blame for causing our youth's dilemmas. Teen violence is also thought to be triggered through social, cultural, and individual factors such as bullying and being exposed to a violent environment.
Facts: By age 12, the average kid would have witnessed at least 8,000 murders and more than 100,000 acts of violence on TV. Statistically, 1 in 5 kids admit to being bullies or being bullied. Also, one of the main reasons that children become violent is through their exposure to violence in their own homes, whether it is directed towards them, or towards others. Do you find this valuable?

Violence is definitely a major concern nowadays among youth because of the repetitive exposure to violence in the media and also in their personal lives. Here are some questions: Don't you think that family and friends have a greater impact on the youth because they are involved in their lives. What conflicts and consequences could occur resulting from the exposure of violence? How does the exposure of violence shape the youth's mind and character today? Could you give a more detailed explanation of why violence creates bullies?
