• Violence is Never the Answer 

    by Benito Orozco

     

    From being different, and not fitting in, 

     to being raised and told to be mean, 

    Youth violence happens with factors. 

     

    Before you attack, ask yourself, if it’s necessary, 

    Before you act on your own, tell an adult, 

    Don’t make yourself the bad guy. 

     

    Violence doesn’t have to be towards you to affect you, 

    Outside of school, kids get yelled at and beaten, 

    And I feel hurt on the inside, seeing the world tear up, 

    I feel weak seeing parents transferring their meanness. 

  • No to violence

     

  • Violence 

    By Jayleen Romo 

     

    Think of violence  

    Is it a good thing? What good does it do you? 

    No! Nothing of course! 

    Little evil thoughts come to your brain 

    only leaving you with such horrible pain. 

    Violence not only does this but fills you with negativity. 

    Violence is the last thing  

    I want in this humanity. 

     

    Violence is the cause of a child or teen  

    to withdraw from family and friends. 

    Violence is the cause of a child or teen  

    to give up on life. 

    Violence is the cause of a child or teen 

    being angry or hostile. 

    Violence is the cause of a child or teen  

    to do risky things. 

    Violence is the cause of a child or teen  

    To use alcohol or drugs. 

    Violence is the cause of a child or teen 

    wanting to die or disappear. 

     

    Unfortunately for violence it can be  

    overpowered and disappear. 

    Some young people who are thinking about 

    violence let people close to let them know 

    That they are in pain and are open about  

    needing help. 

    Also, parents can ask their child 

    and comfort them to solve the problem. 

    With this violence can come completely  

    to an end, but will take the  

    time to do so.
