The teen who allegedly shocks a community does not feel respected.
Respect is woven again in a story of anger and violence among young people.
But, it's not always that easy. According to Steve Wagoner, youth development educator with University of Illinois Extension, it takes practice to develop respect. Wherever there are groups of people, there are chances to practice. People can begin to practice respect by noticing how they relate to close family members or friends. By focusing on people we care about first, we can then learn to value others in the same way.
