Facing all the difficulties and challenges growing up as a teen in Chicago its very rough having to look over your back every day when you walking down the streets making sure the area you’re walking around is safe. With 24 students killed in the city of Chicago this school year its very sad violence has become an unavoidable part of life for kids who just want a safe place to live and learn if I had one wish my wish would be for all teens to come together and be friends instead of arguing and fighting all the time. Now children and young adults fight over any and everything there’s one good reason they fight is if someone look at them funny. Now its really not safe to stay and your own house they shoot threw people homes just the other day a 7 year old little girl got shot and her home while she was lying and her bed sleep that’s a shame.
