Teen Violence

. . .
“Teenagers who follow their own morals and good judgment will find that they will be in less troublesome situations” (18). In most single-parent homes the mother is the head of the house. “As gangs traded in their chains, knives, and fists for automatic weapons, explosives, and shotguns and at the same time jumped into the drug trade” (Lloyd 8). “Studies have found for example, that people who use illegal drugs commit 4 to 6 times as many crimes as those who don’t use drugs”(Stewart 28). Parents can also drive their kids to a low self-esteem by yelling at them all the time for no reason or even abusing them. The type of music a teenager listens to normally tells what kind of person they are. In a single parent home the parent is always working so therefore the child is never supervised. Either students have to push themselves or have someone push them to make the right decision in life. When a child is getting abused over and over again they are short temper or can be angered very easily will most likely try to kill the abuser. When these dolls and toy guns are played with, it set an example that guns are ok to play with. Teens feel that if they need money, drugs are the way to get it. It’s very important that the teen notifies someone immediately. If they happen to come cross a real gun, most likely they would play with it like a toy. “Many studies have looked at whether TV violence is linked to aggression and makes viewers think of violence as normal” (Lang 25).
