The problem is culture. It doesn't matter how many times some mom tells their son not to be in a gang if their is no alternative to that lifestyle to be found. You can tell a kid "read, stay in school," but a kid is not going to do it if that was not indoctrinated in them from infancy. If the kid never sees his parent pick up a book - let alone show enthusiasm about going to the library, engaging in intelligent conversations, etc. How can you expect a kid to value the same?

Another thing That corrupts Th mind of our youth and Teens is Music!!!

All the trash talk worthless kind of garbage you might here on the radio these days!

I mean I listen to music a lot of different types of music but The music That kids can listen to these days is pure trash!

Let me give you some examples.

1.Kanye West

2.Akon

3.Lil Wayne.

4.Drake

and I dont even remember some of the other names of all the artists!

Don't get me wrong I love Rap and hip hop, Only the original kind.

i know right??? all of the kids at my school are listening to lil wayne, eminem, kanyewest, and all of these ghetto rappers i sware all of my classmates want to be gangster i sware i hear stories and kids talking about getting chased after cops, all the black guys calling each other nigga, and everyone except me is having dreams about being on the stage w/ lil wayne or being on a music vid w/ eminem even though they all bring 300$ shoes to school everyday and 400$ purses for the girls i hate it

[shadowvowed187]

And I don't know how or why but I know everything about whats right and whats wrong. These are the things I would avoid for my Entire life.

1.Drugs

2Violence

3. Tobacco

4. Alcohol

5. Ignorant people

6.Raciest people

And the list goes on!

I feel so Disappointing in many people for many reasons

[shadowvowed187]

I'm actually 14 years old, Personally I'm a home body and I love to go on the computer and play video games. I've been playing lots of violent games since I was 5 and amazingly It didn't effect me at all. I'm about half done with 8th grade and I'm so tired of My peers and even older teens, hell even people in there 20's can make really stupid choices all the time! I am really ahead of my age And I love to socialize with older people. I am very deep, serious and spiritual.

[shadowvowed187]

Things like this just sicken me to my stomach! Its so sad Many children and youth have so much potential And shit like this happens!

[EthnicHairGrowth]

It so wired how kids today lean toward violence. Is it an economic problem or is it T.V, video games, or parents to busy to bond with their kids. Question is what do we or what can we do about it.

Thanks for you comment,

Kim

One thing I have to say is Violence Will never ever, EVER be a good thing

[classic14rider]

Black leaders are too busy giving each other expensive awards dinners to care about this.

Black "entertainment" and popular culture promotes the sick minds that carried out the attack destroys any sense of morality or values (it's all about women and money in black popular culture).

And government at all levels places so little value on the life of young black males that they don't provide security or protection for those who work hard and follow the rules, like Derron Arnold.

[EthnicHairGrowth]

I still believe the power is in the people..the law that stop parents from disciplining kids should never have been passed. Kids have to learn at home and if getting your parents pissed off does not bother you then pissing off the law won't either. So what are we to do .. if the community wants more police protection then they have to put pressure on the community leaders to provide it..

Thanks Kimberly, for your thoughtful reply.

How about this -- currently we consider it "fair" if we spend as much money on the education tof low-income students as we spend on affluent students (in reality we spend even less on low-income students) but really we should spend more because there is generally greater need in terms of mentorship, tutoring services, ect.

Low-income students from distressed communities require more attention which means more govt. spending -- govt. is shirking

[EthnicHairGrowth]

Well when it comes to gov support and gov programs. The more gov programs we have more middle income families have to give up to support others. Education starts at home. I do agree that school board state levels should provide the same academics in low poverty areas as the do in middle income areas. school funding is supported by property taxes area that have a lot of apartment building will not have a lot of funds for after school programs..

True .. kinna hard not to want to beat them the same way. My first response was they should be stoned ... I hate bullies .. so senseless..

Regards

[cod5killer5]

i hate gangsters man they think there so cool have to use wepons and have to have a gang of people beat 1 person up man i think the kids that killed him should be put in a cage with a real fighter and have them beat to death i would not care one bit

[EthnicHairGrowth]

I hate to hate but when something like that happens it is hard to separate yourself from them. You just want to have done to them what they forced on their poor victim. Kinna like an eye for an eye.

Lets try not to become like them....although that is easier said than done I know...

Kimberly

An eye for an eye seems fair...beaten to a pulp with 2 by 4's and bludgened to death by a group of their peers. True, they are children, but they purposefully broke the commandment of God without the slightest bit of self-control. It would be hard to think that there could be earthly justice for them.

[lilmama112488]

Omg, i saw this video and it broke my heart, it just doesn't make any sense...

[EthnicHairGrowth]

I could not watch the entire video... I could not believe what I was seeing. I felt so sorry for him. How could someone not have compassion for another human I don't know.

Kimberly
