Youth in danger

The news on the web is nowadays full of violence; in fact, many articles are based on violence at school or between youngsters. Moreover, teenagers fighting at the streets are easily found not only in digital newspapers, but also in videos that are uploaded in different pages by themselves. In other words, some young people enjoy sharing their own violent reactions, and they feel proud of them. As a result, teachers have to face this kind of behaviour at schools, and it does more difficult their daily work. However, we have to think about why and how adolescents start reacting this way for any problem or misunderstanding. In my opinion, they are not guilty; on the contrary, they are victims of a cruel society that excludes them, and never hears them. They feel that they are alone in this world, and many times they are right. So, they look for shelter and knock many doors, and when nobody answers they go into hiding behind drugs, alcohol, and violence. We, as society, have to learn to listen to them, understand them, love them, and help them. They need us, they need you, don’t leave them alone!!!
