A Story 4 Our Youth

Dedicated to those who are victims of these types of violence. This is my own response to the recent Rihanna interview on 20/20.

Talk to your brothers and sisters about these topics because if we don't who will?

Don't let the media buy your answers, we gotta create the answers ourselves. It is our responsibility.

Lets start the dialogue now, before another incident like this happens.

The dialogue has already begun, the following videos made me think. Form your own opinion and voice them:

The story about the Richmond High School girl:

It don't matter if you a woman or a man, if you hurt someone - you're at the wrong.

If you see something wrong - don't just stare - call for help. You are the voice that can stop violence. Be that voice for those who can't be heard!

and no lie, when i heard about the homecoming thing, i almost cried. becuz this CAN NOT be accepted and its not acceptable! its sad dat human beings dat have emotions and know rite from wrong, can be capable of doing something like this. i cant believe they were watching, recording and taking pictures, of a young innocent girl suffering and helpless. still as i write this, my eyes are watery. if the world is capable of doing dat without emotion, i dont know wut to do. -Chris.

@chrisjlv15 what we do is educate others and spread awareness about these topics. thats what we can do. Don't let the world control your future - remember you have the power to control it.

I always thought he had a crazy look in his eyes, then after what happened I was like, yep.

[Diamondchild26233]

Some people are too discusting. I don't understand why people want to live happy but they still do thing like that. You're right Joaquin, we need to look at ourselves and think really hard because it's a new generation and that doesn't need to be a part of the future.
