YOUTH TAKES A STAND!!!

On November 2, 2011; the youth of New Haven marched down town for more jobs for youth and no violence. I was proud to be a part of something so overwellming. i feel like we got the message out to the public that if you occupy the youth by allowing the to get jobs we wont have time to be playing with guns or sealing drugs to get money. The public don't seem to understand that teens today will find a way to get money nd if your making it hard for them to get a legitimate job they will turn another way which will lead them down the wrong path. We also let the public know that we are tired of friends nd family being killed over dumb stuff its becoming more of a problem because the death toll is now at 29. 29people have been killed in new haven thats sad like its to the point when you wanna stay in the house all hours of the day not try and be out in the streets and we shouldnt have to be like that we should be able to walk down the street without being scared. I personal don't understand how someone can take another persons life. Do you not realize that they have family people that care for them also that your actions dont just affect one person but many people. what ever happended to just fighting now you want to bring guns and knifes in to it nither one of them makes you look big or bad i personal think if you have to take it that far to use a gun or knife and not your hands that your a punk you have to be a real punk to pull a gun on someone and take they life.

From this march I hope that the youth of New Haven realize that its not fun and games it its time to get your head out the streets and into some books. I know i realzied it because its not worth my life!
