Craig, thank you for speaking up our schools and parents need to listen to your video but, most of all they need to listen to these problems in our communities and schools.
That was a great presentation,Its great that someone actually raises awareness on this subject .Things have been going crazy with youth gangs here in Greece,thank god not in my neighborhood but you should always be careful.There have been approximately maybe more than 1.700 cases that Greek courts face involving teenagers
Thank you Sir. I have been trying to point out this situation and no one seems to have ears. It's a blessing at long last to hear the words l have been saying to others.
He's right. Look at the vast majority of school shootings and suicides in the youth. The root cause is bullying and feeling excluded. Then when one snaps, people are so clueless about how it happened.
Needed this- tired of crying and more tired of feeling helpless. I can't make sense of this and I can't ignore this. Someone just got stabbed here. He was young, a footballer-, was playing football in the UK- his whole life ahead of him- GONE. A week before Christmas. A month or so earlier- two young men got shot and killed. One was 27, the other was celebrating his 22nd Birthday. I feel for the victims family and also the people that are killers and their family. This is a generation that is getting killed or incarcerated. It is soul destroying to witness. Thank you for this. 🙏🏾💗
It's a parenting issue. Parent(s) show no/little love and don't take a active role in thier child's development . A lot parents unfortunately want to be there child's friend instead and are afraid to say NO.
Mainly a development issue regarding early childhood and teen influences. Poor kids can be morally upright and rich kids can be morally bankrupt after all.
"In me is screaming to never trust my dad. Ever again. To never trust anyone. Ever again. I need to do better too. Absent father, everyday you're becoming more and more present in my life. Don't stop trying. Love, The Carcass Left Behind." This is a poem about an Absent Father, but it seems it could be a poem about Youth Violence.
I'm 63 now - Even back when I was in my early teens, school buses have always been a hotbed of problems where punks were in close proximity to "good" kids. There may be many reasons with kids acting as they do, having to do with a bad home life or external factors. In some cases, they just take pleasure in violence for the "rush" provided to their brain. It's a sad situation, and in many cases, they may only come to the realization after they reach adulthood. And no, I was not one of those that gave any trouble on school buses or anywhere else.
Some of my theories is that, people sometimes inflict pain on others because they want to feel more powerful. They may feel so small in the hands of their own abuser, so they attack others to feel like they are in control of the situation. I haven’t read any theories or anything but thats just me spitballing this
When I was a young child in third grade, I looked at my class, and I was disgusted because everybody talked negatively about and wanted nothing to do with one of the students because she watched Dora the Explorer. I made friends with her, and everybody looked down on me and talked negatively about me because I was friends with that person nobody wanted to be friends with. I was also teased by my dad because he thought that I had a crush on this girl. I didn't, and I just wanted to do what was right. This girl also thought that I had a crush on her, and she had a crush on me so I was glad when my stepsister came to live with us because then she could be friends with her, and I didn't have to deal with her making love notes for me anymore. It was sweet of her to do that, but it kind of sketched me out. I have made other friends like this, and I still have some of those friendships today. When I first heard about racism, I was disgusted for the same reason that I was disgusted by my class wanted nothing to do with this girl that I was friends with. I live in Canada, and racism against the indigenous people here is the biggest problem we have with racism, and I will dedicate my life to stop it because it's not right, and it very much disgusts me.
This is very deep, I sometimes have suicidal thoughts but I have my friends and Girlfriend to talk to (yes I'm bi) and they help me with my depression. For anyone who is seeing this and if you have suicidal thoughts, please go to talk to someone that you trust, it can really help.
The only thing I want to know is how to get a person that acts like they didn't set you up for a violent crime then tries to act like they are trying to help me. I hate two faced women, but one thing I can't stand is a two faced man. Practically unheard of in my circle except for one person. I wish this person can sit down with someone and let them talk to him about accepting responsibility for their actions and moving on because aint no forgiveness here.
How could other person kill someone? How could a human being kill another human being? They're those who say: what we see on television, what we see on our computer can have a tremendous impact on our behavior and in many cases bring out the much worse possible scenario. Violence in the media poses a threat to public health, as it leads to increased violence and aggression in the real world. The relationship between media violence and aggression in the real world is moderated by the nature of the media content, the characteristics and social impact on the person exposed to that content. We have to knows that media construct our reality and how we think and behave. The truth is that when we watch movies with violence act, we don't actually Think that it's affecting to our mind. Subconsciously, we just imagine «what if I was like that». Honestly, how often after watching movies with spies, you also imagine that you were a spy? Be careful, be safe.
There are invisible forces that are not mentioned in this prsentation good as it is. Environment shapes the mind. If you want to find the cause look at the environment. There are other points...but I don't wanna lecture.
Maybe if we held the parents accountable for their children's actions maybe then they'd "parent" and instill respect for everyone. That's the biggest reason why teens commit crimes, it all starts at home.

Racism and a pattern of an sick society teaches that. Plus add the denial of opportunity and a lack of empathy and patience, can and do cause a problem with any age.
That's not always the case though, Karl Lokko (Lox) one of the most recognisable London gang leaders, grew up with 2 hard working parents, never even swore infront of their son and was amazing to him, what caused him to become a gang member/leader was him thinking it was the right thing protecting his members, you should watch his Ted talk
Why does nobody talk about how similar it is to chimp behavior? The social dynamic, the power displays, the territoriality, the patrolling, the unpredictability, the raw violence, the irrationality, the group size and composition… I know it sounds inflammatory, comparing these youths to chimps… but the parallel is undeniable
Only as a whole society can we solve the problem of escalation of violence in society. Thank you for not being silent! I invite all caring people to a unique event on May 7. International online forum "Global Crisis. We are People. We Want to Live" is a large-scale and unprecedented event, organized thanks to the independent unification of millions of people from 180 countries on the Creative Society platform.
Youth join gangs because there is no father at home to stop them. They stay in gangs because there are no jobs in the cities. The educational system in many big cities sucks. Lower taxes and regulations and restore the father to minority homes. The family needs to restored and the economy needs to be healthy so young men can have jobs.
The school system often can't or more importantly WON'T do anything about kids getting picked on so what other recourse do they really have outside of violence? When I was a kid I tried going to the teachers about it but they would just laugh at me, I don't condone it but I understand why kids carry weapons if the adults aren't going to protect them who else is going to?
Training social worker here previous youth worker I agree with all you videos…sick of tokenistic service user feedback, I want service user to make a real change in there own life’s….i to marry up academic work and real life work!
I think everyone misses the obvious causes. It's clearly bad upbringing, lack of discipline from an early age and then the influx and attraction of gang culture to young males. A lot of young males just want to appear hard, want people to be scared of them and they also want to be flash and make money. The gang culture appeals to all of that. Let's blame ourselves, but blame ourselves for the right reasons.
How is this my problem? I only care for those that are a victim of violence. People need to tell these youths, life is about choices & consequences. People are not honest to the youth anymore, they are babying them and down playing what they do. For example: Someone can murder someone and people will make the youth murderer the victim instead of the suspect that on purposely killed someone. I do not get it.
Sorry but it’s not that complicated. It’s all about culture and having parents that have values and they teach their children to dress properly and speak properly and behave a certain way and be responsible and do their schoolwork. They know where their kids are and who they’re hanging out with and they guide them with lessons of right and wrong and responsibility and culture and class. They teach them how to respect their neighbors their elders their women. It’s culture.
Certain human behaviors deserve death. Violence is the result of hyper-competition, be from the family or the neighborhood, or lack of resources. The Unwanted child is the core of urban violence, unwanted children come from homes that are poor. Poor in material resources and poor in emotional resources.
My parents taught us to love others. My parents took us to church because they knew, they did not have ALL the answers. God and Allah and Buddha said don't hurt others, for any reason. I worked at a reform school. The kids were violent after years of abuse and neglect. They needed love. Their father left. He went to jail. He was absent. They were angry at him, and their Mum and then everyone. Here in the US there are far too many broken families and their is NO community to make up for it. I have seen one culture not accept another. Many. People from one nation bought four homes next to each other, not one by one next to "others". Could be any ethnicity. Love one another. Men, stop giving up on your kids. And neighbors, be neighbors to everyone. How many of my neighbors ignore the old white guy? Many. I say Hi. Oh Hi they reply. Nice weather eh? Yes. Have a great day! Kids too. Hey kid. how are you?
God Allah and buddha did not say don't hurt others for any reason !In fact all three gave a list of reasons when you can feel justified in torturing others .

He's right.
Look at the vast majority of school shootings and suicides in the youth. The root cause is bullying and feeling excluded. Then when one snaps, people are so clueless about how it happened.
No. The root cause is spoiled, catered to, inflamed egos using violence and the threat of it to hide their fragility behind.
Needed this- tired of crying and more tired of feeling helpless. I can't make sense of this and I can't ignore this.
Someone just got stabbed here. He was young, a footballer-, was playing football in the UK- his whole life ahead of him- GONE. A week before Christmas.
A month or so earlier- two young men got shot and killed. One was 27, the other was celebrating his 22nd Birthday.
I feel for the victims family and also the people that are killers and their family.
This is a generation that is getting killed or incarcerated. It is soul destroying to witness.
Thank you for this.

Thanks for the speech
Crazy to think i've seen this customer a few times, can't believe he's doing a ted talk
i 'am with you keep up the good work
Inspiring .
Until youth/gang violence is treated as a socioeconomic or early development issue the violence will continue
Decisions....
In Glasgow it is treated as a public health problem . This has created a substantial decrease in knife crime
It's a parenting issue. Parent(s) show no/little love and don't take a active role in thier child's development . A lot parents unfortunately want to be there child's friend instead and are afraid to say NO.

If you weren’t one of them, why are you explaining the reasons behind what they do?
Ok You don’t think broken homes contribute to someone acting in a negative way or no supervision or guidance in their home?
That rush is better then anything in the world boa 😏
No one ever talks about Racism and Social problems.

It's like that across the pond also?
Great synopsis!
Great presentation. Very profound 👏👏
flawless
This guy came to my school.
Very insightful
We definitely have to get down to the root causes of crimes and get help for these young people.
Root cause is all of us being in our own bubbles and allowing the powers that be control us
Root cause is low IQ, poor impulse control, broken homes, broken culture, and endless excuses for violent behavior.
The only thing I want to know is how to get a person that acts like they didn't set you up for a violent crime then tries to act like they are trying to help me.

This makes me mad that video games influenced this but I’m over here building a house for my Minecraft dog
arrogance and ignorance breed violence .... isn't it that simple ?
In summary, ask the community why they're violent
Man There’s about millions of reasons. Let’s start by destroying the rap music, starts with parents absolutely
Maybe if we held the parents accountable for their children's actions maybe then they'd "parent" and instill respect for everyone. That's the biggest reason why teens commit crimes, it all starts at home.
