Article On: Chicago’s Youth:




This article talks about all of the violence that Chicago teens are facing just traveling to and from school daily with the gangs and violent crimes happing daily. Last year our murder rate was at an all time high we topped New York and even California by doubling them. Most of these killings were teens and they were all people of color. Our city elected officials need to do something for out city so that we can feel safe just traveling to and from school again people are afraid of the gang violence, stray bullets, and even just being singled out for no reason. We have to work together so that our teens don’t become statistics and stop all of the young people whose lives are ending at 15 and 16. This is a scary site.
