  • Most children get in gangs because they want money or protection or they want the notoriety. Eighty percent of the gang related crime is done by those who wanted to be a gang member. Some youth as young as nine years old are joining gangs.

  • They think that they've got no other choice

      if they knew they had another path they could take then maybe most of the kids that are joining gangs wouldn't get involved in them.
  • you get locked up — oh well; you get shot — oh, well. You've just got to deal with it

      I'm a bit skeptical of this site. The ads are a red flag for me. Even though the people behind it are supposedly "experts," this is a field where a lot of people claim to be experts when they aren't. It might be okay, but double-check everything.

Media Effects on Teenagers - 0 views

  • Negative Media Effects on Teenagers There are several negative media effects on teenagers as well. Media is responsible for creating ideals about body image, owing to which several teenagers (especially girls) suffer from inferiority complex and resort to unhealthy practices to lose weight and get skinny. The amount of excessive violence in media – be it the television, movies or the video games, tends to increase aggressive tendencies in teenagers. The amount of celebrity hype created by the media causes many children to make irrational demands for designer clothing, accessories and other perks of the celebrity life that they are exposed to. Glorification of unhealthy habits like smoking, drug abuse, unprotected sex and alcohol can encourage these habits in teenagers, which can permanently scar their lives.
