It is not easy for me to stop the violence going on with adults, but what I can do is try to stop people my age from doing something wrong. If my friends are angry with someone, what I have to do is calm them down before it gets bad. Middle School is full of decisions, and I hope I can get many people to make the right decisions.

Not only can try to help people make the right decisions, but I can make the right decisions to help the Earth. So next time I see someone throw something on the ground, I will pick it up, and I will just try to make the environment better. If I can't stop the shooting and fighting of adults, I will stop what I can of people my age.

Well I don't think we can just tell people to stop the violence and they're going to stop so I think we have to use are brains a little more and think what we are going to do. I think we should ban guns from ever one excepted the police and army every one will need to turn in their guns to the police and it will be banned from every citizen unless they are police officers. Also we can find a way to keep people off the streets cause that's where most of the violence is and put them in a club or something so they can learn something and help with their future instead of being on the streets. For example I go to an after school program here at Julian called the leadership club. It's kind of a boy club, but we talk about everyday stuff like what we want to do when we get older and how we going to get there. That's my idea on how we can improve the violence in the U.S.
