talk about violence Firstly I’d like to talk about what it is meant as juvenile violence. Obviously we can easily recognise juvenile violence in the form of fights or riots, but beyond this evident way of violence, we shouldn’t forget other kinds of aggression such as psychological violence, bulling, as well as sexual violence among teenagers, which not always shows up so clearly. Having said tha, and focusing on the underlying causes of this violence. One important part of them has a lot to do with the familiar and social context in which young people has grown up. Nevertheless, I think that sometimes that social background is systematially blamed of all violent behaviours forgetting that young people are indeed a cocktail of hormones looking for its place in the herd as in many species and often that kind of violent behaviours have much more to do with that animal dominant behaviours rather than educational deficiencies. Secondly I’m going to talk about some other reasons that usually are considered to be behind some types of juvenile violence. They are violent films and video games. I don’t totally agree with that idea, as I believe that in general, young people can perfectly tell the difference between fiction and reality. Of course, I think that young people are excessively exposed to violence on TV and videogames, that’s evident, but I strongly believe that most of the frustrations and feels of anger in young people come from being constantly bombarded by films and adds telling them that they have to be, they have to be winners, or telling them that they have to be perfect and good-looking because otherwise they would be losers. And that drives me to talk about what could be done about the matter. As I see it, young people need to develop their personality on their own, facing and struggling with problems and trying to work them out . However they also need a kind of guide and some personal references to lean on. Moreover sometimes they have to learn that there are some red lines that mustn’t be crossed, I’m thinking about respect. On the other hand society and companies shouldn’t keep considering youth just as a lucrative market. We should protect youth from the pressure of fashion and physical standards. Society and economy should decide whether it’s worth it to reduce economical benefits in return for a better development of young people. In my opinion, great companies and governments are not willing to do this, being youth market such a big business.
