HOW TO STOP WEAPONS FROM ENTERING SCHOOLS

Today there’s a lot of violence going on in and out of the communities, schools and on certain jobs across America. In 2005, 1,079,301 high school students across America took a weapon to school at least once every 30 days because of what the students are facing in school from there fellow classmates. Lots of solutions are out there to solve problems like these like: Cease Fire in Chicago, putting metal detectors, security guards, scanners etc in the schools. I would like to give you my opinion on what I think about the solutions to protect high school students in school.

Cease Fire and other program are being set up across America to prevent some of the problems. Cease Fire especially is a really good program that would help students who are in and as well out of school because the people running the program help breaks up fights, offering mentoring sessions, helping you find a job and a place to hang out instead of going into the corners and cause trouble.

Metal detectors, security guards and scanners in school are very useful in schools that have lots of fighting going on. Some of the above would help out school in American because for example metal detectors and scanners do a wonderful job when coming to students bringing in weapons to school. On the other hand the metal detectors, security and scanners make me feel like that am in prison, it makes me feel this way because every time we come to school we have to get scanned and also on every floor there are one or more security.

An example of how students would stop carrying weapon to school is that their parents need to search them or talk to them before they leave for school. The community needs to host programs that would show students different ways how to protect themselves instead of carrying weapons to school. For example a program that teaches students how to be respectful. By doing this we, as students wouldn’t feel like we are in prison. By William Joyette

The Violence should be stop

This photoshop poster is showing us some of the consequences of violence.

My friend Tony did a survey about banning guns in New York State (in the teen room at St.John's Recreation Center) and the out come was:6 people say yes we should ban guns and 5 say no we shouldn't. On one hand people want to ban guns because it's causing too much violence, and on the other hand many people say no because they think guns would protect you. This is saying that we should come to an agreement about guns in our community.

Try doing what's right


One time while I was with my cousin I over heard two guys talking about going to have ah fight later that night. I went over to them and told them that what they were doing is gonna put then in a great deal of trouble. I told the guys that what they were going to do isn’t right. At first I thought they wasn’t going to listen to me. Then I began asking them if they want to get lock up and be put in prison I thought that they wasn’t gonna listen to me but to my surprise they did just to be on the safe side. Try to do what is right and you’ll stay out of fights.

There was a kid well known in the hood that was shot at a back yard party. The bullet wasn’t even meant for him but he’s gone. You try to have fun in your young life and lose it at a place you feel you should be safe at. Guns are never the way. People don't ever seem to see that. By:Alima.S
