Fernando per1 What I could do about youth violence is to have parents supervise there children. What I could do about youth violence is to tell parents to STOP hitting there chidren in public,not even at home. I should tell more parents to tell there chidren about weapons and drugs. weapons are the reason that kids do alot of violence. Lots of kids had died because of guns and knives. drugs are the reason kids use them is because they think they are cool but there not. kids had been killed because sometime there is no quire.
jgarcia per.1
What I can do about youth violence is to not let civilians buy guns or knives because this is the only way kids are getting them and thats how they are killing people they dont like and if you already hav a gun hid it in a very good hiding place where your kids cant find it.
Alex per.1 What I can do about youth violence is stop making people fight.What I can do is tell parents to stop hitting there children.What I should do is tell the parent/guardian to teach there kids about violence. Some kids are already adected to drugs and they die because of them. There's lots of violence in the world and all you have to do is stop.Some parents can't stop there own kids because of the violence but there's only one person that can make them stop that's THEMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CHELSEA PERIOD#1 WHAT I CAN DO IS TRY TO TALK TO EVERYONE AND BE AN EXAMPLE FOR THE LITTLE KIDS WHO THINK VIOLENCE IS THE WAY.MANY PEOPLE BUY GUNS,KNIVES,AND OTHER WEAPONS.DRUGS ARE ONE OF THE MAIN HOT TREND WHEN IT COMES TO YOUTH.MANY PROBLEMS START OVER PITTY THINGS.ANOTHER WAY IS TO SOMEHOW JOIN THE POLICE FORCE.PEOPLE ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THIS AND I THINK I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!
Edward,Per.1 What I could do about youth violence is to tell parents to check and make sure your children are safe. If they take a weapon to school they should be punished. Children should not get in gangs. Children should not affect there lifes with weapons and drugs. They should never do graffite in anyones properties. The most important thing is never to disrespect a adult, teacher and any of your family members.
What I can do about youth violence? I can help others that have problems. For example if someone is in deep trouble like when my drillteam coach went outside with a bat.Later she came back looking a total mess. If I was there I would have helped her but I think that some parents are setting a bad example for their children.Anyways I think adult violence is more diffucult to handle. But everything else will be good without the VIOLENCE!!!! Pamela,Per.2
Cirilo 10/23/07 Per.1
I can tell people violence is not the answer to anything. People shouldn't use weapons like guns, knives,and other weapons. Guns and other weapons should only be used by policemen. If you use weapons it only leads to trouble. People should set examples for little kids by telling them violence is bad. That is what I can do about youth violence.

What can I do to stop youth violence is to have parents make sure their child doesn't buy drugs or sell drugs. I should tell parents to tell their child about how bad drugs are and not to have weapons. Weapons and drugs are bad things to have. If the police find you with drugs or a weapon they will take you to jail. By having weapons is the way people get hurt all the time. Drugs and weapons are a BAD thing to do.
What I can do about youth violence is that I can talk to people I know that have been involved in violence. I would tell them to try not to be involved. Violence isn't the answer to most of the problems. I can try not to be in it so that I wont keep doing it all of the time. Youth violence happens all the time. It happens in school,streets, and the alleys. People are terrified when they know about it. I can talk to all the parents about thier sons/daughters about what they have noticed different about them.

What i could do is try to get kids to act right as in no drugs. If i was incharge of this i would problaby eliminate drugs from our country. Another is that 50% out of a 100% kids in the US are getting pregnant at an young age. These are some things i would do about youth violence today!!
What can we do about youth violence?
What I think that I can do about youth violence is do the right things and don't do drugs. I think that most youth violence is about gang because they parent don't spend no time with them then they get mad and start doing something bad.Some time students hit each other and they start fight.What we need to do about youth violence is try to take the gang members to jail.Bernard Period 2
Alex period 4
I don't think I can do anything about youth violence. Violence is everywhere and it will never stop.
luiz lemus period 4
I think that Alex is wrong because if we fight against violence we could stop it. People can stop becoming gang members. We could teach our kids to not join gangs and they will pass it on.
