Violence
For centuries violence have existed in our nation as a way to gain power or take control of certain areas. Violence have claimed the lives of many. Violence has always stemmed from pride, hurt, and fear.
Today violence seems to be rooted a little deeper than pride, hurt, and fear. Instead of fear there is hatred, jealousy and envy. Violence among young people of our time have increased annually.
Judged by the upper class, broken by society and being misunderstood by the government, many young people think violence is just the way of life. Many have not been outside the city limits. Which means the mindset of our young people is boxed in with no air holes to breathe through.
The “We Need Balance Project” wants to challenge our generation to find alternative routes to solve problems and re-define our destiny.
Destiny is something that is created by the choices we make and the words we speak. For many youth that grow up in broken homes and poverty stricken areas, those are just “fly by night” words.
When there reality is struggle, defeat and looking for a way to survive the day, the thought of living a great and prosperous life seems slim to none. The “We Need Balance Project” lets our youth know that they have a choice to create the life they want to see.
Too many young people are falling victim to senseless deaths everyday. Its time to do our part. To stop the desires of violence that are killing our young America!
