To me the children of today don’t care if they kill someone and they would not go to jail because their age. They are robbing older people, and breaking in to people thinking that they are not going to jail. The first source that I have found on the website is WWW.time.com/ By Time, and it was written (By Jessica, Reaves in 2001, 17 may) that should the law treat kids and adults differently. What I had read (By Jessica, Reaves) there was a 14 years-old Nathaniel Brazil was charged with second-degree murder for killing his teacher. And in Florida jury had gave a 14 year-old boy who killed a girl while playing wresting moves on her, and now will be life in prison without parole.
Children are facing physical and emotional damage. They are missing their education. According to statistics reported by ABC News, 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of being bullied (Bullying Statistics, 2013). The worst consequence of bullying, by far, is suicide, now being referred to as “bullycide.” Children as young as nine years old are taking their own lives. So why do bullies bully?
Some may live and some may die but a lot of the victims in my neighborhood are children who don’t have anything to do with what is going on just in the wrong place at the wrong time. My question to that is where is the right place to be for a child when gangs are shooting everywhere in parks, stores, malls, and schools, and who get caught up in the cross fire young children. We are losing our future! Second, we lose our sense of security. I know that I could let my 10 year old daughter walk to school by herself, but with shooting all the time I walk her to school.
Of course like every young teenager finds a way to get into normal teenager trouble. As an example, when students Bell, Mehta, Masoudi and Blythe boat across the lake to the ladies academy, it was a rule broken but not a crime. In the contrary a bad school would have violent students committing serious crimes like stealing assault or even murder like the movie Stand and Deliver (1988). Garfield High School meets the bad school that the
According to Bullying Statistics (2013), “nearly 30 percent of students are bullies or victims of bullying” (Bullying and Suicide). This misbehavior can impact a person’s life tremendously creating short-term and long-term psychological conditions. Victims of bullying have displayed signs of eating disorders, sleep disturbances, lack of interest in school, withdrawal from family and friends, and thoughts of suicides. In some cases, the victims of bullying had committed suicide as a way of escaping his or her tormentors’ harassment. Last year, Angelina Green, a fourteen year old girl from Indiana hung herself from a tree, and left a suicide note on her bed for her mother explaining her death was caused by bullying (Goldstein, 2014).
Juvenile delinquency describes the antisocial behavior of many different types of youth who are in trouble, or who are on the brink of trouble with the law. In general terms juvenile delinquency means different things to different people. By law, a juvenile delinquent is a person under the age of eighteen who is found guilty in a court of law for committing some sort of crime. Children are not just born delinquents; they are products of circumstances, chance, culture and environment. A youth named a delinquent by circumstance and chance is a youth who has been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
For example, in April 2006, twenty-three women between the ages of 19 and 24 were arrested for hazing violations; they were all kicked out of school and fined. In addition three other pledges were arrested and charged with underage drinking when they were caught at a sorority house party drunk. The worst two reasons pledges are arrested have to do with underage drinking and hazing. Even though sororities might seem fun, there are many good reasons to not join a college sorority. Many more teenagers have been physically or emotionally hurt because of sororities.
Just not only gang member that can die during a gang fights but there be people that aren’t in gangs die too. I know all gang members’ motto is basically kill or be killed and get high all the time. It happens so often because drugs and alcohol are very addictive and harmful here in town. Most of the gang members here sometimes are teens still in high school and when they use drugs they’re lose more knowledge and its become harder for them to understand things so they eventually dropout of school. Since some teens don’t go to school anymore they work harder on being a gangster and most of them end up in jail or dead, barely of them think about changing because gangs become their life.
Today there is not a more hotly debated issue than gun control. The most recent school shooting event has prompted an “I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it any more” moment just like it did in Sydney Lumet’s 1976 movie, Network. How many more school shootings do there need to be before the government stops talking about it and steps up and does something about it? It all seems to have started on April 20, 1999, when two high school students who were armed with weapons and bombs entered Columbine High School and killed twelve of their fellow classmates, one teacher and injured many more. On December 14, 2012, a lone gunman killed twenty first graders and six school teachers and administrators with an assault style rifle at the Sandy Hook Elementary School just outside of Newtown, Connecticut (Jonson).
David Waltosz Lankford 4/21/2013 Draft: final Audience: Principal of C.V Bullying Has No Place in School “The National Education Association estimates that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students” (Michele Borba ,web). It should be made mandatory that all schools have an anti-bulling program in place. It would decrease adolescent suicide rate, improve school performance, and increase self-esteem. Fear is what many students feel every time they go through the school door. They may have the sickening feeling that someone is going to attack them in the hall, hit or kick them, and throw a verbal slur or even worse.
