Violence to me is irrelevant and unnecessary. The problem is not only about guns, knives, and weapons, or even general gang violence. The problem can also be in domestic violence, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
I honestly think violence breaks out and mainly happens because of jealousy and competition. It isn't always the fault of the person committing the crime because honestly, a lot of the anger that leads to violence comes from the individual's background. Bad surroundings can break and hurt a person inside and cause them to react and act out the way they do. This leads to gang and street violence as well as domestic violence. Instead of thinking as a group, I say people should try to be their own individual.
Me personally, I could have been the victim or instigator of a violent situation. I would always get told that violence is not the answer, but I never really paid attention. I never realized until now that when you have so much to lose and so little time to live your life that violence and the consequences that you will eventually have to face are not worth it. It doesn't make any sense. I believe we should stop the violence and make peace because it isn't worth it.
Domestic violence: It is never okay to hit a boy, girl, man, woman, baby, or anyone. Domestic violence shouldn't happen to anyone, ever. But it does - and when it does it is important that people seek help.
