Violence is the action of
inflicting pain on another intentionally. It is a predominant issue
facing today's youth. This can include verbal assaults in addition to
physical attacks. One in 12 high school students are threatened or
injured with a weapon each year. Persons between the ages of 12 and 24
face the highest risk of being a victim. Statistics show that this
problem is at an all time high. one of the major problems with youth
violence statistics are that more and more incidents of youth violence
are going unreported. The reason for this is the strong threat of
retaliation and intimidation. An example of this would be a child whom
is being verbally bullied, may not speak out for fear that the verbal
attacks will become physical attacks if they speak out. Although
there is no one explanation for violence, there are warning signs and
things that youth, parents, educators and other concerned individuals
can do to prevent and intervene in such cases. Surf our web site further
