What are the causes of Youth Violence?

Youth violence is a seed injected into the minds and hearts of children at any age. The truth of the matter is that youth violence is born out of a broken heart. A broken heart is nothing more than a soul that has been sentimentally hurt causing the child to have animosity feelings against other people. There has been some occasions that children had been hurt, not only physically but sentimentally, perhaps there has been a divorce at home or maybe the child doesn’t feel loved, or he must have been abused. Youth Violence refers to harmful acts that can start at a early age and can continue into adulthood. Youth Violence could start off by peer pressure. “Tell me who you hang around and then I’ll tell you who you are”. If you hang around bad influences your going to start acting like them and maybe start involving yourself in some various violent behaviors that can start off by harassments then move on into bullying, hitting, robbery, assaults, carjacking, home invasions, and this can even lead him into committing murder.
A child usually would do anything just to fit in. These are some ways that can cause youth violence.

i recently found out just how violent today’s youth can be. more shocking how little the justice system is doing to protect me. while walking home from buying a pack of smokes, a was attacked. i was robbed and beaten with a hammer and a metal pipe into a 2 week coma. Arested for the offense, paul martinez age 20 and mike salaszar age 21, both having 2 prior feloney convictions for similar offenses. one month after martinez and salaszar gave full confessions they were released from colfax county dention center on bail. here’s the kicker! at this very moment martinez and salaszar are exactly 2 houses away from my home. how do i sleep?

Paul makes a very good point (And I’m about a month and a half late with this comment, but I only recently discovered this blog and I’m going through the archives).

I certainly wouldn’t say these things always happen in America. They happen here a lot less than in a lot of countries, which is why they get so much press. VT really hit home, though. It’s not terribly far from where I live, and I know someone at the school.

The facts of VT don’t bear scrutiny…

Do you believe one person did that, on his own?
I don’t.
Do you believe 30 people would let that happen without resistance, without a single scream?
I don’t.
Didn’t you see something, anything at all, that made you THINK?
I did.
