I agree with Julie and Trish when they say that it is up to us, the future leaders, to end problems in our country. But havent't people been trying to do that before us? I strongly believe that our country needs a second look at the rate people are dying, but i also think that violence is inevitabke, especially the day in age we live in. Think of all the movies that are out ... how many of those have shootings or war in them. some may say that these factors don't have to do with teen violence, or violence for that matter, but i disagree. Little kids now are growing up with violent movies, and if that is all they see then how else are they going to act? Thy arn't going to watch the Wiggles or Hannah Montana their whole life. My point is, yes i agree that we need to stop violence, but there is so much we can do.
