The trend is now and has been for a while teenagers with guns. Kids are getting guns to make them feel or appear cool. When did it become the norm for you to have a gun. Whatever happened to just hanging out at the rec center, movie nights, game nights, rollerskating. etc. Now they are filming themselves holding their new prize possessions because it makes them cool and kids fear them. Is it a power thing. Is it a cry for help because they do not have attention or better yet love in their lives. The sad thing about all this is that in an instant another child/teenager could be shot. They hold this weapon as a way of saying yeah if you won''t pay attention to me I will make you pay attention to me. One of the leading death in teenagers, aside from drinking and driving, drugs, is gunshot wound or sometime death. Most of these guns they get from home. From their own parents. It breaks my heart everytime i watch the news and I hear that a child was accidentally shot by his or her friend. They get these things and they go on a power rampage. Yes look at me, I have a gun, ain't I cool now. They want to much to be held, they are crying out for help. They are being bullied and they only way they see fit is with a gun. That is not the answer. The answer should be and is still the parents. Parents should talk to their kids. Check their bags, find out what is eating them up before it's too late.
There is nothing that says that looking in your child's room is wrong. Yo have to do that in order to protect your child. If you have to keep a gun in the house make sure that it is locked and you are the only one that have the key. Love is the answer at all times. Huggging your kids is still cool even if they do not think it is. When is enough going tobe enough.
