CHILDREN VIOLENCE
A 14-year-old boy shoots another 14-year-old member of a rival gang. I had to do it so that they would let me in their gang, he says. The victim did not die.
In our opinion, he must go to prison for 10 years because he has shoot an innocent boy, only because another boy asked for him to shoot that boy. He must go to prison, but after he is 18. On the one hand, until he is 18 he must be in a young offenders institution. On the other hand, after he is 18 he must work for the community for 1440 hours: 2 hours everyday for 2 years. We think that is a strict punishment, but if we dont do something to avoid the violence between childs.
The most responsible of those happenings between children are the parents, but the boys of the notice are 14 years: they are not grown-ups but there are not very young. In this case, the most responsible are the education they have given their parents, or the friends of the boy that asked for him to shoot the other boy. The only way to prevent those things is that all of the childs have to know that the action films are only films, that the weapons are very dangerous All the weapons are loaded by the devil.
Vengeance is a constant theme in literature, cinema ... but, does it happen in real life too?
Think about Confuciuss saying "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves" and please leave a commentary below.
There are a few adolescents in our society that understand the politics, and who like to speak about that, although it is a difficult topic. Speaking about politics hasnt got many good sides, because politics is related to the poverty, the big differences between the poor and the rich people
In our opinion, we dislike the politics, but we feel that we should know what is happening around the world.
Choose a party
With all of this politician parties, the people who are not interested in the politics, how are they going to choose a party if they dont know which is the objective of each party? The politics are not a pleasant topic, but we should know the condition of our country in order to be a better country, with more equality, and more justice.
Let me tell their story That no one else can hear. How can someone's laughter Bring me close to tears, And you'll never know Cause you're never there. After what we've seen Can we close our eyes again Let me tell their story You won't think is true. I have not forgotten So I'm sharing it with you. For all the things we know What have we really learned? Though I close my eyes The images remain. And their story... Begins again.
Opinion In our opinion, we think that nowadays the contrast between rich people and people who are dying because of hunger is very big. Everyday, we have the chance to eat, but we dont value it, and sometimes we waste the food that other people could need. While some people are starving, others go on diet. This does not make sense at all.
