I will be talking about the violence and murders in my community. In today’s world we live around it. It may not be at my front door but it affects me and my community in some type of way. When you are scared to go shopping at a certain time of the night or stop at a store to get gas. That is when you know it is serious. A lot of people are killing each other, robbing each other etc. they would rather rob, or kill someone for it and spend the rest of their life in jail paying for it. “Gun related violence is most common in poor urban areas and frequently associated with gang violence, often involving male juveniles or young adult males.” Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2006 I became a victim of a robbery. I was walking into a store that was in an unfamiliar area, while walking towards the store in the daytime a guy snatched my purse. I was also pregnant at the time. My purse was found but my money was gone. I was thankful that he didn’t kill me and my unborn child. Till this day, the guy has not been caught.
Every time you turn on the news now, a body is found, someone has been robbed or something to that nature. It just doesn’t make any sense. Some cities here are better than others. Overall where I live is a great place for a family, every now and then you may run across some bad news, but not often.
Time has changed so much. It is not nearby how is when I was a child. You can go out and party and come home in one piece, now you go out you have to watch your surroundings and just pray for safety. It is really too much foolishness going on in today’s world. I try my best to educate my children about the world we live in today and get them ready for the world and continue to have a positive attitude. I also teach them not to be like the next person, be better than that person.
If the system did not allow underage children to drop out of school, a lot of the violence wouldn’t be happening today. By dropping out of school
