    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, We Have to Find a way to Tackle Youth Violence 8 years, 5 months ago

    The news is constantly reporting how devastating gun violence is. We’re hearing that our children are in danger due to so many guns on the streets. We have to get to the root of the problem. It’s quite upsetting […]

    • It is best to have a peaceful world, and the movie industries make movies with good ending, and no violence.
      if everyone is not violent, the young people will not get angry and violent too.

      • I’m not sure if not having violence in movies will stop youth violence or lower it. We have to get to the core of the problem by asking the youth what can they do and what can we do to create change when it comes to youth violence.

    • Humans are truly good,but sometimes many deviate from the norm because of drug and parental guidance.Parents are too busy at work and at parties forgetting about their teens that need special attention for they too, have their own needs and problems only parents can solve.Those who are gone astray lack love and attention from parents.

      • There’s parents that party but even if they do so those things shouldn’t hinder them from contact with their children. The problem is society is too quick to judge parental guidance but whatever happened to the “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child.” Blaming parents won’t solve the issues.Perhaps helping is a better solution. Some may not know how to parent or have way too many issues to parent themselves let alone children. Perhaps we should embrace the youth and instead of judging the parents so much. We should try to get to know them and find solutions.

    • Poverty plays a huge role in the crime and violence we see in America. When people live generation after generation in poverty, desperation and anger can become strong motivators for crime. Youth programs and safe places to go for recreation are crucial, as is having strong mentors who teach young people respect and dignity. But if we cannot do something to alleviate poverty and wrest control of the streets away from the gangs, violence will continue to be a problem.

      • You’re absolutely right. Poverty is one of the reasons why so many youth choose violence as a way of life. We have to find ways to “prevent” and that will lower the reforming rate. Poverty leads to criminal behavior not in all cases but for those who feel desperation and feel as if there’s no “hope” then the issues we see today will become greater. Youth need our attention because they will be the ones who will have to look after us.

    • What is the basic unit in the society? It is the family and what composes the family? The father, the mother, and the children. In other words, the root of the problem may originate the from the family, from the home. If the father, the mother and the children do respect each other, there is order. If everyone does each role under the nurture and admonition of the Lord, a home could be made a bit of heaven. That could be a practical and spiritual way of making a nation, a country in order, peaceful and worth living for it is free from chaos, trouble for everyone understands the value of peace and order as it is being practiced at home.

      • Yes indeed. The family dynamics play a very important part when it comes to how children will adjust to society. A disconnect could leave our youth feeling vulnerable, Family is important and values but in certain cultures the process is different and their way of doing things is different so there’s a need for outside assistance and “mentorship.” Extended families can also assist parents with educating the children and helping them through the trials that are associated with growing up. More people have to show concern. We have to do more than have discussions about the problem. We’re gone to have to find a way to reach our youth. Whether they come from troubled backgrounds or a well educated family history. We have to find resolutions..

    • First and foremost, we should find the cause of violence why certain people misbehave abnormally with their own thoughts and actions. Maybe they have psychological problems that must be resolve. Sometimes people who used to feel alone, lost, unlove have the tendency to think of crazy things just to justify their own hatred. In their mind, they tend to be harmful for everyone, to be dominant to someones sufferings and death. A life of emptiness leading to their own destruction. Certainly, family plays a major role to educate their children in good morals and values to become a better person in the future that love and respect someone’s life in order for this world to be a better place to live in without any trace of violence

    • Yes, the violence in youth is increasing but I think its main cause is poverty and nothing else and the second cause is injustice on earth by the rich to the poor on earth in all societies of the world.

      Think that youth violence refers to harmful behaviors that can start early and continue into young adulthood. … Some violent acts—such as bullying, slapping, or hitting—can cause more emotional harm than physical harm. Others, such as robbery and assault (with or without weapons) can lead to serious injury or even death.

      School violence is a subset of youth violence, a broader public health problem. Violence is the intentional use of physical force or power, against another person, group, or community, with the behavior likely to cause physical or psychological harm. Youth Violence typically includes persons between the ages of 10 and 24, although pathways to youth violence can begin in early childhood.

      Violence involving young persons, typically children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 10 and 24. The young person can be the victim, the perpetrator, or both. Youth violence includes aggressive behaviors such as verbal abuse, bullying, hitting, slapping, or fistfighting.

      These behaviors have significant consequences but do not generally result in serious injury or death. Youth violence also includes serious violent and delinquent acts such as aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and homicide, committed by and against youth

    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, Large Amounts of Faith 8 years, 5 months ago

    Where can ‘faith” take us? faith can put us in some remarkable positions. If we just believe that we can overcome and “make things happen” then we will. Leaving faith behind won’t get us anywhere and of course […]

    • First of all we must know what is faith? Faith is name of trust in God;s words said in the holy books as God says do not tell a lie it means we are faithless and thankless to God. Faith builds human courage but how for example, God says dot to drink and its effects are more but we neglect it and do what we want means we do not have faith is God’s words.

      In such condition how some can builds his faith in something because all human deeds results are declared according to the laws of nature not according to our thinking.

      If you have faith in God’s words you can perform miracles looking at them people will wonder. All miracles on the earth are done by decree of God and behind it works faith or we may say the trust in God.

      king Solomon said once, to perform miracles on earth just do two things, one trust in God and two fear of God. But in practical life we have no trust in God and no fear of God how someone can build s his faith on anything.

    Sometimes silence is also a way of being expressive. It allows us to think and to figure just where we need to travel next. Silence can certainly be golden.

    @Ruby3881 Four is good enough (mine was 3). No, South Africa is not in the list and New Zealanders also were included after a long time. All the best once again.
