I think it often takes rival groups to stop fighting because, that could be the only way they know of. I think most teens view violence before death as a result the only way out of things. I think teens continue to engage in danger because they see things like for example tupac and biggie smalls, those were two big rival groups and it ended up in death. I think whatever the gang does the teen really doesn't care what happens. I don't even think that they are thinking when they do things with the gang. All in all, I think teen violence is so big it would take a whole other generation to even cool it down.

1.25. It often takes death before they stop fighting, because most times it is a war between two people. In romeo and juliet they kill them selves. Only because they "love" each other and don't want to live without each other.

1.21-

Usually death stops fighting because of the high level of seriousness that it brings to the situation. Teens probably don't think violence such as physical fighting is that big of a deal, it happens all the time. Teens continue to be involved in 'dangerous' behavior because to us its not dangerous, we always think things could be worse and fist fights are not that big of a deal to us. No, we don't sit there before every fight and think "huh? well if I fight this person this could happen or so could this." Its not how we go through life, when we are about to fight someone all we think about is how we are going to be in a fight. In conclusion,I don't think teen violence can be prevented because violence is just one way we handle things in life.

1.08- It takes death to get rival groups of young people to stop fighting because it shows them how serious the fighting can get. I think teens do not take violence seriously at all. Teens continue to engage in dangerous behavior because they don't know how serious it can become. To me if a conflict is important enough to the person they should fight for it but only if it is a good reason to fight for it. I do not think that most teens are thinking about the consequences when they do violent things, just like in Romeo does not think of the consequences when he kills Tybalt. Teen violence can not be completely prevented, teens will always fight about something no matter what.

It often takes death to get rival groups of young people to stop fighting because they have either accomplished what they wanted to, or the worst thing has happened so they learned there lesson and stopped. Teens continue to engage in dangerous behavior because they don't know better, and think that everything is going to be okay, when in reality it's not. A conflict that could be serious enough to risk his/her life could be if someone messed with their family. I don't think they think about what can happen. Which is a bad thing. In conclusion, I say that people engage in dangerous activities because they don't think of the consequences, they just think about what they are mad about.

It often takes death for rival groups of young people to stop fighting because none of them don't see the seriousness of it until someone dies or gets injured bad. Most teens don't take violence serious at all before death. Teens continue with this behavior because they don't see how far it can go, many times resulting in death. There is no conflicts serious enough to take life's but most people don't think they just do it. Most kids don't think of the consequences after the conflict. In conclusion violence can't be prevented but you can take steps to learn how to take it down a notch.

Dear 7
I agree with you because that is another reason why people do dangerous things, because of gangs.

129 It often takes death to stop violence because when someones dead they can no longer cause trouble meaning that there will be less violencce. I dont think that it does not take a whole lot of escalation to cause a deadly fight. One type of conflict that can cause a deadly fight is adultery when someone takes your lover you want to kill them. I think thsi wiolence can be prevented by having less violence in the media.
in conclusion I think violence iz dumb

1.17Most of the time it take's death to stop violence because some kid's just don't know when to stop and it ends up to someone dieing. I think they don't they don't take it serious and don't know what they can do to another person they have no idea it could end with someone being killed. They think it's cool to keep doing it and they don't see anything wrong with it. If you ruin there reputation by telling people a bunch of lies about that certain person. I don't think they are thinking about the permanent consequences and they don't realize what it can do. In conclusion teen violence can be stopped by everyone stopping there bullying and picking in other people.

1.08- I disagree with number 25 because the war is not always between two people, especially not in Romeo and Juliet because their war is between their whole families not just them.

I think this is very true and can happen in real life. But sometimes the families have feuds and can inflict it on the kids or grandkids. In Romeo and Juliet they were forced into killing themselves just to be together because of the family feud.

It takes death to stop the violence because, then they're not there anymore to pick on, and family and friends come together to support someone's lose. Teens view violence by thinking, it'll get revenge like they would like to, then when something goes wrong and they end up losing their lives then they start taking it seriously. Teens keep trying to get revenge with violence because, they think it'll get them back and then they won't have to worry about the problems they have anymore. Maybe, they don't think about how it'll end in death, they just think that then the other person will say sorry or something, and then they're more powerful than them. A serious conflict for a person to risk his or her life is, being raped, adultery, etc. I believe that some teens don't think of the consequences when they go to violence for for revenge. In conclusion, I think teen violence can be prevented by less violence in the media therefore then they won't know how to do the things that they do, for violence.

I agree with you because sometimes people think that everything is going to be okay, but when death occurs, they see how serious it is.

Only because they "love" each other and don't want to live without each other. so they killed themselves because romeo thought juliet was dead so he killed himself and juliet saw him dead so she did the same.

I believe that it takes death to stop two groups to from fighting because people don't know how bad things really are. I think teens don't really take violence seriously until a result in death. Teens don't pay much attention to engaging in danger and have dangerous behavior because of the time and age. I believe that the conflict over more important concepts may be better to result in death but over a boy/girl situation, its not worth it. I honestly think that most teens don't think of the permanent consequences when they engage in violence and violent behavior. In conclusion, I don't think that teen violence can be prevented even if the drama that started it all, stopped but it depends on the person who begins the fight in the first place.

I agree with you 1.7 when you said "It often takes rival groups to stop fighting because, that could be the only way they know of." because they think it isn't affecting any one but it could kill someone

1-#27...It often takes death to bring many people together, or in other case's it can bring them apart.It is hard for people to deal with someone dieing, because you are very sad and you will miss the times that you had with that person. Most teens will take serious risks because they think its funny and even cool. But when all of a sudden somebody dies it makes young teens realize that what their doing is quit serious. Teens continue to engage in dangerous behavior because they want to fit in with everybody else. They wanna feel cool, and like people actually like them, but really in the end most those people don't even like you. Most deaths now a days are because of gang violence or other serious stuff. Most people don't even know what their getting into, until their life is gone and its to late. Most teens aren't even thinking about what their doing until its to late and someone they know is dead or even its their own life.They don;t think about what will happen later, they just think about whats important at the moment and that's not the case , that's how most teens now a day are killed and or seriously hurt. Teen violence can be prevented by teens thinking instead of just doing. Most the teens now a day are killed and hurt because all they do is to want to fit in and feel like someone cares.

I agree with your comments, espially how you said it doesnt take a whole lot of escalation to turn into a deadly fight. This is true with a lot of gang fights.

1-12- It doesn't often take death to get rival groups of young people to stop fighting. I don't think that teens seriously think or view violence before deaths result. Teen keep on engaging in dangerous behaviors when there is the risk of death because they think it's cool and it helps them release stress but it doesn't at all. A type of conflict that could be serious enough to make a teen to risk his/her life is like when some one in their life dies and they really loved that person or if they have so many things in common with that one person that had died. Most teens are not even thinking of permanent consequences when they engage in violent behaviors because they don't care if what they do at all and they really don't care if they do violent behaviors. All in all, teens violence can be prevented by making sure that their happy and make sure that they are not stressed out.

I agree with #25, it can happen with a family. How do you expect the family to get closer? When the family fights, they need to make up. So how do you expect them to get closer. Also its not just family's that feud.

1.18 It often takes death to get rival groups of young people to stop the fighting because no ones aware of how serious the situation is in tell some one does die. I think teens just do the first thing that pops into their minds, and don't think about any thing as serious as it is. Teens do dangerous things even if there's a risk of death because they don't think that that's how serious the situation is. My cuson a few years ago killed him self because his "group leader" started to jump him and threatened him that if he doesn't kill himself or become a southsider he'll kill his Mom and little sister. My cuson shot him self in the head the next day to protect his family. in conclusion, yes teens do take a violet behavior to defend them self but mabey its because the first kid already took it to the extreme and our violent reaction just shows.

I think that it does take depth to bring two families that are fighting closer. i think this because both families love the person who died. with the person who died they forget there differences. in conclusion i think it does take depth for the fighting to stop.

1.5 I think teens don't look at death.Teens continue to do violence is to feel hard.When a kid is in a gang is when they can die.Most teens think since they are young they can't die.Kids can stop getting in gangs.

I believe that death brings rivals together because the people find out that they never really know what they have until its gone and that they may not have not of been as different as they thought. I think that teens these days think that its ok to use violence cause they do not think about death and that the what the teens are doing can cause death in many ways. I think that teens continue to engage in dangerous behaviors because they find that they may be "cool" if they can kick someones ass or something. Also because we are to young to seriously think about how much trouble we can get in for hurting others. Teens can be sent to jail for harrassing another teen and then that teen commiting suicide. Most kids do not even think about the consequences because they still do it. In conclusion I think that teen violence will never be stopped because there are always those teens that think hurting others is the cool thing to do and they think that using violence will solve all their problems. Even though it doesn't.

1.28- I think it often takes rival groups to stop fighting because, that could be the only way they know how to express there self. It often takes death before they stop fighting, because most times it is a war between two people. But sometimes the families have feuds and can inflict it on the kids. I think teens do not take violence seriously at all. Teens continue to engage in dangerous behavior because they don't know how serious it can become.

I think that death makes rival groups of young people to stop fighting because they relize that they don't have any reason to fight and if would've stopped before then this never of happened. I think teens don't how dangerous something is until some serious happens like death. They don't relize how their acting and how stupid they are. I don';t think any thing is worth risking your life. I think they are not think a head and just in the moment. In conclusion I don't think that it can be prevented because unless the teen relizes how stupid they aer.

I believe you were right about how rival groups often fight because its what they know, but where so you think they learned it from? Also teens don't view death before violence death because they don't think it will lead to it, does remind me of how teens are.

I don't why it takes death with some young adults to sop fighting between rival groups. I don't think that many teens do take violence seriously because they think a fight is fight so either until someone dies and then its real because they know they just took that persons life. I don't know why they continue to do this when there is a chance o them or a friend or family dieing because of it. the type of conflict that could make them want to risk their life because someone in that rival group killed their friends or family. I don't think their thinking of the consequences or most kids are but think they can get away. In conclusion violence can be prevented by just getting over problems and not holding grudges.

To begin I think it takes death to stop violence because people are so caught up in them self they don’t think about others. Teens don’t pay much attention to outcome of the things they do. I think teens continue to do dangerous things because they haven’t grown up yet. Somethings that would want to make teens want to risk their life would be their group of friends would peer pressure them into doing it. In conclusion teens should just think about outcomes of things that do that are dangerous. Also they shouldn’t do stuff they can’t do with their parents or they shouldn’t do stuff they would be embarrassed to do in public.

#7. I agree with you. Rival gangs and teens just think about the violence and then when something bad happens they regret it. It shouldn't have to go to death for people to stop fighting.

#29. I agree with you. Once someone dies then they can't cause anymore pain or suffering to anybody else because you can not come back from death.

I think that people take things way to far now in days with teens. You always hear about teens killing them self's and trying to hurt others as well. I think this might be because they get to the point where they think the bulling or this annoying kid will never stop! The only way to make them is by threatening them and or hurting and breaking them down. They come to these situations also because of gang violence and i even think even mabey really bad video games any ways that's what i think about that topic. -imani maxey-Bell

I think the reason it takes death for people to stop the violence is because.They see what they are doing is wrong like if enough people die around you are going to stop like for an Example:Every where you there is violence going on and someone close to you dies you are going to be hurt and you don't want that to happen to anyone else.so that one of the reason why i think that people will stop the violence once a lot of people die around them.
