We can't go anywhere without seeing it, hearing about it, or doing it. This is a problem that seems to control our lives and sometimes ruin them. If it is not sex, it is violence. When young adults can't turn to their family for help, they oftentimes turns to the streets. Turning to the streets sometimes creates violent criminals that do not know right from wrong.
Violence is on going, gang warfare is still present, and many people carry guns.
Therefore, a lot of schools are equiped with metal detectors. Situations such as these have to be avoided in order to do right. Lastly, a lot of us are dying at a young age. It is not easy to stay positive in a society that sometimes expects you to turn into a criminal. Negative sensations and peer pressure can be stopped, all you need is positive friends, role models, mentors, and last but not least God.
