Another sign of violence in young adults is their dependency on drugs. Alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine are some of the drugs that many teenagers attempt before they are 18. If a teenager becomes dependent on any of these drugs, and can not have it, they become frustrated and they become very angry. They begin to think about doing anything to get the drugs, and that can cause a lot of trouble. These are some factors of what causes teenagers to kill.
Many people think that violence on television also causes the number of teenager killers to rise.
The executives who schedule violence to make rating go up do not take into account the full impact of their actions on society. Children are not the target of advertisers on most violent programs, but their exposure to violent images can lead to dangerous actions that the children may take against situations. This type of thing is not considered, when decisions are made about when to air programs and where to draw the line of violence content when shows are produced. Some people feel that teenagers such be tried as adults, for committing such awful crimes like murder. The only thing the courts could do was suspend him for eighty days out of school, because he is so young.
