Can the young people of the UK stop killing others?

Five teenagers jailed for kiling a man in a park.

12 year old boy shot in Liverpool.

16 year old shot in Sheffield

Young man stabbed to death in London over a mobile phone.

I want to ask every young person in the UK to stop killing people, stop carrying knives and guns, stop this violence.

Why are you carrying weapons, think walking alone, a gang approach they will take your knife and stab you with it.

Have you thought of the effect this is having, if you stab or shoot and kill someone, there life ends, their family & friends will always feel that pain, your family will always feel the pain that you are a murderer, your life will be ruined.

Why are you as young people, the future of this country, trying so hard to ruin your lives?

Hard I know, but give me some reasons why this is happening, and please stop now.

    ok now i am 16 and i live in london and i don't go round killing.

    but i tell you what it does tick me off when people blame it on us. we have only followed in the footsteps of our elders.

    WE DON'T WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND SAY OH IM GONA KILL SOME DUDE FOR HIS PHONE. the only people i know who would do something like that are the ones on drugs but where do the drugs come from. not us it is older people who have made kids like this and they sould take the blame not us

Edit With appreciate, we don't be attentive to if the unfavourable female became interior the automobile, on the line or any of the circumstances? isn't the guy using the automobile the guy responsible for her loss of life? Why is your default place responsible the police in the previous we've any info?

    With all the violence on video games and T.V nowadays,it is inevitable that teenagers turning to violence is going to become more and more common.I suggest instead of having young offender institutes,all criminals under the age of 18 should be forced to do 6 months training with the military.We've seen the positive effect it has had on 'Bad Lads Army' so why not put it into effect?

    The thought of my kids growing up is so frightening.It's got so awful.Nothing seems to get done though.A slap on the wrist and they are back on the streets.The goverment need to put them in the slammer for a long time and make them do hard time.Not playstations and widescreens like the prisons these days.It's getting out of control and it's scary.

    Because they get 'stuff' but no time and attention.

    They've been bought up by a generation who feels it is more important to go out to work to buy things they don't need instead of a generation who gives birth and then actually spends any time and attention on their children.

    Parents should be financially encouraged to stay at home and care for their children.
