It is shocking to see youngsters carrying weapons like revolver in their pocket these days.Don't you feel these day's youngsters are more protected carrying weapons with them rather than natural daring old day youngsters had? in those days there was no weapons like these days but people who lived at that age were more stronger and also more daring than the modern day youngster and it is evident for everyone here isn't ti? what do you feel about these issues? do you all agree with me here?

Absolutely not, when you bring the highest level of force outside a homemade bomb there is not room for negotiation or resolution to the problem. Once the trigger is pulled their is no rewind button there is no do over. The lowest levels of force are using your mind to outsmart the bullies or your attackers and then you move up the chain. I agree that children these days face more challenges and dangers than 10 or even 20 years ago. It is the responsiblity of the parents to make sure their children are as safe as possible. Do background checks on the school and communities you want your children to attend. Make sure to get your children into a self defense class or some type of class that makes the children aware of their surroundings and what to do if they feel threatened. Violence should always be the last resort if possible not the first solution.

It is always easier said than done as finding a solution for a big problem like this is a huge task and it is every bodies responsibilities to do something about this matter as one individual can not change the whole things. Children should understand what is happening around them and once they are made to realize this, things will start changing completely for the good. Let us hope there are good thins ahead for all of us in the future.

I agree. I have often heard the phrase, "It takes a village to rise a child" and in our society it seems that the village no longer cares.

I surely do, this thing is past the limits of what´s human. If just some people would care a little more about this, like you us. The only problem is the adults and parents, which have been into this, in small words "bad", while they where about they´re age. I hope this will change when we go further into our future. M.S.A

I really pity on these days children as they think less and act more. Olden days children may not like this as they were of very soft nature and now everything has changed alarmingly which is a worrying factor for all the people all over the world and we can hope things will change fast as the time changes and the children will become soft again as before

its all due to new filmography trend, it became fashion to show off the weapons, mostly in Hollywood movies, heroes uses the weapon like he own a arms factory, other thing why a youngsters hold weapons , bcoz they are afraid and keep it with them always

I also agree to your view of children picking up aggressive and violent nature from the kind of movies they watch. It is not only movies, but most of the internal games or video games are adventure and agreesive in nature. Students do get attracted to these things very fast and tht is because of the age factor. At this young age students won't be able to diffentiate between good things and bad things.
