With 22 students killed this school year, violence has become an avoidable part of life for kids who just want a safe place to learn and live because of street gangs roaming the streets of Chicago. Different kids are getting killed because they are involved with gangs. Many kids are not involved, they are just getting killed by stray bullets and because some gang members are their loved ones. So they have to suffer for what is supposed to happen to the person who is involved in the street gang. I feel that if the kids that are in gangs just go to school and do their work and drop all of this beef that they have against each other maybe they can succeed and live a better life. I feel that if you any beef against any one you shouldn’t pick up a gun and shoot at them because people don’t have any aim; bullets don’t have any name on them. I think they should just at least box it out with one another if they don’t want to squash it. Like Tuesday late after school a guy named Jax that used to go here to Harper high school was shot in the leg. I bet you it was over something stupid. Here at Harper high school gangs roam the halls everyday here looking for trouble, but some don’t. Being here at Harper high school is like being on a battlefield. If we do what we are supposed to do we can succeed here at Harper high school.
