A current issue our community is facing, is the rise of violence among the youth. The violence is anything from verbal abuse to fighting to murder. Violence amoung our youth has been on a rise lately. Reading the paper and watching the news is very depressing.
Whithin a week our community lost three teenagers. Not all three tragedies may have been purposly performed. However, one act may have lead into a violent act. I don't believe the children in our community have enough guidance and support. Our community needs to look for a way to keep these kids occupied. A way to keep them off the streets. I think our schools should have counselors that interact with our kids more in depth. These counselors, would then be able to point out odd behavior or any signs of a troubled child, and offer guidance. I believe this would help tremendously in our community.
