What I can do about youth violence is when I see people fighting I can tell them to STOP.I can set examples for kids that are younger than me.if i could do that violence would be less trouble and less of our worries.I dont really know if we should ban violence but we can probrably get rid of dangerous weapons.I personally think that guns start the most violence because guns can kill somebody.
Guns can hurt people too and some people can get paralized too.Thats what i would do about youth violence.I would like to stop gangs because that is more voilent.Every gang member are always talking madness.But I really dont care and i really dont care about gangs they just need to stop.

montay,3 I think parents should talk to their kids about violence.Tell them how not to do what they see on tv and video games.Gang violence is killing many people. Gangbanging is not cool.That is what I think about violence.

What can I do about youth violence?
What I can do about youth violence is to tell other people how to avoid violence. Another way that I can avoid violence is by writing a letter to the top schools that have had violence and tell them hoe to prevent it.It is very hard to avoid youth violence because many of us still haven't seen lots of violence so we don't know how to avoid it when it comes to life and real person. Maybe even or parents have avoided violence before we actually see it. There should be a good reason to stop youth violence around the world.

What can i do about youth violence?I can advize any of my friends or classmates to not do anything harmful to themselves or to anyone else.I could tell them to not smoke or drink alchohal. Or even tell them "if you want a movie that involves fighting or cursing, let that stay in the movie don't show off your bad words or moves at school, no one really wants to see that! all the stunts and killing is all fake,so don't do it! Your parents might not have helped you, but I want to be the one to make a difference! --

Violance is a bad way of expression.I think one of the things that causes is gang activity.You shouldnt always have to watch your back and worry about gangs saying "WERE YOU FRUM"I think people should stand up and say its not right.But there is only so much I could do because im 11 yrs. old but for now all I can do is wish for the best a hpoe for the best

I would try to have a meeting for the youth violence and have some of them come and listen to me or some people that want to put a stop to it.But if i were president i would punish the kids that are starting the youth voilence.I really couldnt do nothing about it but i would try to have someone to stop and listen for a change.Some parents dont even get to see their kids because of youth voilence.One day i will fix youth violnce because it seems its getting out of have hand.

What I can do about youth violence is prevent young people from smoking like they dont know what there doing to there health.Smoking can cause you to get gingivitouis & real gum damage. They know what will happen to if you smoke so please dont smoke. Then I would tell young people not to do drugs because they might die. Thats what I would do about youth violence.

What I can do about youth violence is by talking to people about how youth violence would affect the person you injured or killed family also yours because they would have to hear over and over again about the one bad mistake you have made. Also it would affect your family because they would think that it is good to hurt and kill people for no reason. My second thought would be to tell a story or write one about someone getting hurt for no reason. That is what I would do about youth violence.

What I can do about youth violence is nothing. Honestly I can't do nothing because I don't see alot of youth violence. The only youth violence I see is at school because there are alot of fights there. If I did see youth violence around my house I would probably stay out of it so I won't get hurt. Unless they are little kids. If I did see youth violence besides school Iwould get help from adults or police. That is what I would do about youth violence.

What I can do to stop youth violence is stop kids from selling drugs and sigarets to other kids. The second thing I can do is to stop rasisiam between kids. One way that I would do it is to put them in groups with kid of different riases than them.I can also show them how to realeas thier ager without hurting somebody or themselfs.One way is to inhell and then exhell.the fourth thing is to get rid of weaponds. Becausekids could kill each other.I personaly think youth violence is getting out of hand.

People can't STOP violence because violence happens everyday. Violence happens because people might be in gangs. Violence could be stopped before it begins. Violence happens everyday to people and the person that is doing violence might be caught. The people that are in violence get really hurt. People can not stop violence because sometimes you can not stop the fight. People that are in gangs sometimes think that you are making, signs then they could do violence on you really bad. Cause if you do, do the sighs you might die because gangs have guns and knifes.

What can I do about youth violence?

Youth violence is starting to spread rapidly everyday. What I can do is try to held kids. When I see a fight I can try to stop it or call for help. I can also write to the school district. There they could send letters to students to inform their parents or guardians to have a talk with their children about youth violence.

We could also have afterschool programs. In the programs we can tell other kids how youth violence is slowly affecting us in a bad way. How violence is quickly growing and changing our everyday lives. Also how kids bring waepons and are using them to hurt other pupils. At school we can show that kids are getting ambushed by others everyday. Also, being in an after school program keeps us from getting into trouble from drugs,weapons,and gangs.

I can also try to help children learn that violence is not always the answer. Most kids think that when there is a problem the solution would be to start a fight,send threats,or even blackmail. There are also many other abusive ways. Kids have to learn to use their brain instead of thier fists. This is how I can make a difference.

I don't think i could stop youth violence. Youth violence is normal. Young people fight and argue for no reason, like after candy or anything that makes them hyper. If young people start fighting people could just brake it up. If it's older people you are going to have to call the cops. Youth violence isn't really a huge problem. dats what i think about youth violence.If anyone dissagrees pleese comment.

I can't do nothing about youth violence.Parent's who hit there kids for no reason won't listen to me.Even if i tried to talk to parent's why would parent's listen to me i'm just a girl.I don't like to see parent's hit their kids for no reason because that's wrong.I want to stop youth violence but it's going to be useless if parent's just ignore and keep hitting there kid's.

What I can do about youth violence is that I can go to an elementary school and tell them how bad and what could happen with youth violence.Also I can write a letter to the parents about youth violence so they could know what happens in school.Also I can put that lots of kids fight at school and that your child can be in great danger of getting hurt or getting suspended or EXPELLED!!!!!
Also I can tell the parents to talk to thier kids telling them how serious youth violence is. The children will see that it is serious because thier parents are talking to them about youth violence.That is what I can do about youth violence.

What i can do about youth violence is to forebid ciaggerates,beer,vodka,[anyliqour].Especially marijuana,and fighting,or stealing stuff that isn't yours.I think that they should band those things because it's bad influence to little kid's that are under age.Violence is bad and everybody knows's that so i don't know why they still do it if they know it's bad KimberlyPer.5 October 22,2007

What can I do about youth violence,absolutely nothing.Youths involved in violence need to wake up and see that having a gun in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other wont get rid of their problems.They need to see that the decisions they make today,effect their lives and everyone in it.So they should pick up a book,mabye a bible,and get their lives straight.We are already sending family to war,why should we feel like we are in one in our own home.I used to think that there had to be someone out their that would stop all of this and bring everyone together,but there is no human alive powerful enough.So you ask what I can do about youth violence,I can pray that they read this blog.

Some things I could do about youth violence is to not continue the violence myself. I also need to treat others how I want to be treated. Some people don't respect others thats why theres violence in the world. I also think that theres a lot of violence in the world because people don't care for each other. Those are some thingsi could do to prevent youth violence. by: Lucio per.3

What i can do about youth violence is talk to others and explain to them the world is not all about talking back or curssing the teachers and other adults out because thats not what you were brought in the world for. You are here to talk and to meet knew people and also get and education so just remember to tell a friend thats not what its all about in life. Keyiona per.3

What we can do about youth violence.Well, what we all can do violence is when we see we need do stop the act of lwhat their doing wether its spray painting on a building, stealing out of a store, or beating a kid up for standing up for whats right.Also if you see teenage gang members on the sidewalks try to encourage them to come out the dangerous lifestyle. When we see fights at school we encourage the fighters to kept fightin, but what we need to do is tell them to stop the fighting and be friends. Altough I do the same which is encourage the fighters to fight I still think its wrong.

one thing i can do to stop youth violence is to talk to parents about youth violence and the parents might help out.also we can ask the principal that every year we should have an assembly talking about how to stop youth violence.we can tell the teacher if they could create a website talking about how youth violence hurts people and how to stop it.we can also ask the principal if we can create fun after school activities talking about how youth violence is dangerous.that is how i think we can stop youth violence.

What can I do about vioience alot.First of all voilence means to hurt someone or to kill a person just to show that you are hard.Violence surruonds every single human,every day a person die of getting stab or bomb away;crashed or shoot.Every day i pray for my famliy and friends to be protected from violence.If only for one day this entire world would stop and think about how it affects us and there surroundings.

First of all I would put a educational place about violence open for the public.I know a lot of kids;teens;and adults that would go and learn about the benifits about violence.My program would have jobs to pick to work and have for them to have a positive life.For example the army would be a great way for them to learn how it realy feels to go through the saddness and fear that us human poelpe have to expirience every single day.So what do you say stop now or go through the pain and suffering and never have a smile on your face!!!

The thing that I could do about Youth violence is to just ignore people that want to get strong with me . Because I'm not that strong with violence people. The reason is because my religion does't deal with violence .I always play basketball and always stay focus on my plays instead on focusing on other people. I myself do not like violence that much.

What I think is that you can't do anything about youth violence. I think you can't do anything about it because many people have diffrent minds ans you can't change peoples mind about changing youth violence. I think some people might change youth violence because they might be in some youth violence and they might quit it. Mostly I think that most young people might mot be able to stop youth violence. I personaly have faced youths that have pressured me to get into youth violence but I usually avoid it. That's what I think about who and what can stop youth violence.

I think that we can't do nothing about youth violence. I think that only the people that are in the youth violence can stop it. No one that is not in youth violence can't do anything about it. Violence is really out of control and no one can stop it.That's all I have to say about youth violence.

What I can do about youth violence is when I see someone getting hurt. I can help them so they won't get hurt more. Also I really think I can't do anything about it but I'll try my best.I do think that adult violence is way different from youth violence and that adult violence is deadlier then youth. Like one time my drillteam coach went outside with a bat and came back looking a mess,well I hope this youth violence is put to an end. I also hope the parents start setting good examples for their children because this is not cool at all. Pamela Per.2

Samrawit per.3 what I can do about violence is nothing. That because we don’t make their decisions. Sometime we can make it easier but it positive they can make the wrong decision. So violence can be stopped but it your choice to be violence or not. We can’t stop it the person that did it can. Some think they can stop all by them self. But you need teamwork.

What I can do about youth violence is to talk to people who are fighting to stop.I would also tell them that by fighting they are hurting other people.If they would continue I would ask a adult to talk to them about it.Mainly someone at our school.Hopefully by doing that they will stop fighting.

What can I do about youth violence?
I don't think there is much to do about youth violence because when people choose their role models, they often choose bad people. Once they have made up their mind there is much you can do. Little do they know the people they choose to hang out with will disappear when something happens to them. Then when they need a friend, they won't have any.

Well we as kid cant stop youth violence but we can slow it down by making after school activites. We as kids and young adults should try and help others with thier problems and help them. I think another way you can stop youth violence is by not joining gangs. Me as a 7th grader I think your priorities should be set on making new friends and being a good person and school work. I personaly think that being a gang member is worthless and they should just STOP!!!

I feel youth violence is out of control! There is youth violence in our schools, neighborhoods, and everywhere. There has to be something we can do to stop this. I strongly believe we can stop this. I personally feel we can do at least three things to stop youth violence. First, I would not get involved in any gang or gang activity. Second, I would look for positive leadership or role models. And last, I would always pray to God when I am tempted to do wrong. Having another choice always would give us the option to do the right thing.

What I think about youth violence is that it's a bad thing to do I know what it feels like to wake up and see violence period.I try so hard not to be like what see I woud just be me.I think people who people who do violence are just people who didnt have a rolmodel.So I try to set an example for the young kids in the community to let them know that you dont have to be a gangmember. To me honestly what do get out of being a gangmember just a bullet in your chest.Something that I can do is that is just stay foucus in what I want to do. Thats what I know about youth violence.
