Youth Violence on the Rise

As someone who went to school to touch the lives of young people, and taught for two years already...it saddens me to hear that the violence among the youth in our country is continuing to rise. The Justice Department said today that violence is on the rise. Gangs and gun violence are huge factors in the continued rise of violence in our nation today. They are actually hoping to spend around $50 million this year to help get rid of gangs and gun violence! I sure hope that the ideas that they want to put into place help, because it's so sad to see such violence among anyone in our country, let alone the youth and teenagers....who are the future of our nation.
