This Violence has got to Stop!

…

THE RECESSION!

THIS IS LUDDACRIS I TELL YAH. WHAT EVER HAPPEND TO PARENTING THESE YOUTH. PARENTS JUST GAVE UP I GUESS. AT THIS RATE THERE WONT BE ANY FUTURE

why isnt there an ALL OF THE ABOVE choice, cuz i cant blame it solely on any one of those choices its a combination of em all

They should’ve been home with their noses in the books…

SAD

What??
Smh.

We don’t love ourselves and as a result we don’t love our OWN, plain & simple…

There’s no regard for anyone’s life…
No decency, no respect for absolutely no one…

That’s why you have to be careful of the things and people that you let in your life because if it’s the wrong thing it could lead to your downfall, demise or nothing but a future filled with pain & misery…

Whereas it is a fact that many children are being raised without a father, many parents have arrested development. It is the parents that act like children themselves. Dress like kids, drink and do drugs with their children, even allow boyfriends to “shack-up in the parents home All contributed to the decay of this society.
Long live the memory of MRS. C. Deloris Tucker!

Should have had an all of the above option. Yall takin it back in the day w/ the berenstain bears tho. LOL

65% so far said this is because the father isn’t in the home..maybe he’s not home because there’s a recession and he got to work 16 hour shifts..true it’s alot a lame dude who don’t wanna be fathers but wanna run the streets..but there are also alot of dudes who are fathers but can’t be fathers because this recession is reaking havoc on their finances..wit so much idle time on their hands kids run around doin dumb stuff..
that my opinion..

dang I thought the picture was photoshopped! Didn’t know the B.B. had a book on that.

I lived in that area..its getting really bad..especially in the school system

It’s just my opinion that today’s society is much much different than my mothers and my grandmothers. Never the less I remember the saying that it takes a whole village to raise a kid. Not that is just a memory Our children to day are not being taught the real true values of life. It’s just my opinion that today’s grandmothers age start around 25 to 30 years old compared to that era in which I was raised 70′s baby. But some or all are not showing them the right way!! I’d gladly admit that to me when they took prayer out of the school ;who was left to protect those kids ? and when I was going up we didn’t use guns not saying that they wasn’t being used in my neighborhood but the violence has greatly increased since then. We fought some of our battles dancing ,Rapping or just dreaming for the best?

c’mon young warriors…. what will it take?

Damn I’m tired of this!

This is truely sad … Its getting worse and worse everyday, more and more violence… Im glad the girls are ok though…

I doubt the bullets were even meant for the girs, most likely they were shooting at the boys they were talking to… And most likely over something real petty…SMH

All of the above! I’m scared of what my kids will be born into

I choose the last selection for the poll but it is a combination all of the selections on the poll to why youth violence has been on the rise.

No father and in some cases no mother. The children and adults of this day keep their eyes glued to the TV screen particular BET and other various musical outlets that only condone in violence, hoes, drugs and money within their music. The ‘mafia/gangsta’ mentality. Gangs and peer pressure. The recession could be a problem, but these idiots are going around killing innocent people and not making a profit like robbing a bank or a store for monetary gains.

But this should be a wake up call to all parents and even to folks that don’t have kids…understand that when you bring this child into this world it is up to you THE PARENT to take control of their lives and steer them in the right direction.

I definitely chose a lot of people don’t have good male role models but judging by the women I have seen as of late, they don’t have good female role models either. People aren’t parenting. They aren’t putting their foot in azz, they aren’t talking to these children and they are not paying them attention. So these kids grow up angry and bitter, see some older homies in a gang that “look out for them” and the cycle of crime and violence continues. It really is very sad.

I just try to love and spend time with Babygirl daily. Let her know she can come to me with anything, hug her to death, love her to death and pray to God that I can do right by this little girl and have her grow into a decent human being. I have seen the best families raise thugs. I think environment should have been one of the choices.

I have also seen good kids, being bullied and beaten up for being a “nerd” or a goodie-goodie. You can’t even attempt to ‘be good’ in certain neigborhoods for fear of getting killed or something.

I think we need to stop “hating” on Reggie and Kim K and focus on bettering communities. B/c at the end of the day Reggie Bush isnt doing anything to help these kids up here.

Two many woman now lay up and have children that they have no intention of raising( they just want the man).

VERY TRUE

Na its da recession dat cause dat shit. LOL. If da recession started dat shit, den we been in a recession since the early 90s

if you don’t know you better ask somebody. our life should be something that is more valued than gold. no matter the situation we move on. rule number one. all things positive is too be desired dream on these things balance the good from the trash in your life all negative things should be pushed out run from any negative influence. these thing lead to daily unhappiness and regret. chose life over death

OMG I’m from Clayton County this is nonsense. We’re always in the News.

Gang Initiation hence not having a father figure in the home or at least in a little man’s life.

It’s just that simple.

I never knew berenstein bears had a book about guns… I remember the ones about budgeting, stranger danger, death(goldfish dying), racism(panda bears moved in next door), and junk food, but I do not remember one about guns… Going to amazon right now!

Where are the Parents? I guess BeBe’s kids have all grown up and had some BeBe 3.0′s of their own!!
