The teenagers of today

Nowadays there is a wide spreading phenomenon of teenagers who caus acts of violence. Almost every day, you read in the newspaper about agroup of teenagers who use any kind of weapon. These youngsters have no sense of what is right or wrong. The value of human life does not have any meaning for these teenagers. I believe that society has to severly punishedanyone who acts so violently.

Killing without any reason seems to be an illness we must cure. Last Friday, a Golani soldier was stabbed to death by a 25 years old man. The suspect knew Uri Iten, the victim. They sat with some friends in a school's yard and suddenly without any apparent reason, the suspect stabbed Uri in the leg. This terrible situation shows the unbearable ease with which people pull out a knife and stab.

This ridicules violence occurs also in the schools on a daily basis. We often hear about students who hit others and injure horribly . Last year, during the break, my friend and I were involved in an act of violence. A girl thought that my friend laughed at her, so she decided to punish her by pushing her on the sidewalk. My friend was badly injured and needed medical care. The girl, who was responsible for this, was sent to an invistugation at the nearest police statuon.

In my opinion, teenagers have to be punished in the worst critical way possible. I think that when a teenager would be aware of the outcome resulted from his actions he will think twice before doing a harmfull thing. In the future, the teenagers will be more considerate and responsible for their actions. Violence of any kind has to be abolished for the sake of future generations.
