1. An act of inflicting hurt/pain/agression against another.
2. A young person ?
3. The same thing that causes violence amongst adults, disagreement or differences.

I did this for psychology, but failed cause we supported the "wrong" things (tried to prove that violence is necessary at times; biased teacher >.>).

Violence is any action, word, or thought with intent on causing physical, mental, etc. harm to others.

Youth = Can't really define, cause it's not like anyone is going to magically turn into a mature responsible adult overnight (you know, transition from 17 to 18). So unless you want to just put it in the simplest terms and just group anyone from age x to age y as youth...

Causes of violence: debatable.

The factors of violence are also debatable, such as exposure to violent movies, games, and such. Some researchers say that having a negative childhood (abusive parents, lack of love, poor environment) could lead to hostile thoughts. Some say the type of people you hang around and choose to befriend (the "good" and "bad" crowd), while a few believe that it's all up to oneself and external factors have very little impact.

All I see is that people respond to situations based on their perception of society and life in general, so say your role model is the VA tech shooter, then the chances of you killing people to deal with problems is very possible. On the other hand, if you had NO problems whatsoever...you may have a less hostile attitude.

I wouldn't say disagreement and conflict of opinion causes violence, cause not everyone deals with problems in the same manner; that's only grouping people into one generalization and then ignoring the problem at hand.

Also, making broad generalizations like "ignorance/lack of education spawns violence" is like saying "racists are all ignorant and should go get an education". It just doesn't work if you want a good mark (unless your teacher is heavily biased and will only listen for what everyone else wants to hear).

It's impossible to say that all violent people are uneducated, cause look at that Cho guy for example: would you say he's uneducated? Mental illness might be the cause (from what I hear), but there are plenty of other people to analyze.

- What causes violence amongst youth
no education

Generalization that no education causes people to act in certain ways. Being educated doesn't make you more mature or deal with problems in a "better" way.

IN GENERAL---------

The youth thinks that they're too good. The majority of teens today think that they are grown people who can do as they please and have no respect whatsoever. People bash on one another.. they think they're tough and so they gang up on each other and then other people who think they're hardcore step in. The youth today, we take things too personal and don't know how to think beyond the situation.

Violence- any form of abuse.

Youth- Depends.
+ people from K-12 grade
+ people still living in their parents' home and use their parents' money
+ mostly teen based. (13-19)

We all know only weaklings and cowards fight in groups and even weaker people follow them for fear that they'll be next.
When they're alone, they can't do much.

[Slug]

Violence is an act of aggression forced onto another person or thing.
Youth is the state of being young or undeveloped.
Due to the social construction of gender, young men are pressured by the media and their peers to act violent in order to prove their masculinity.

If you want proof.. I can probably overwhelm you with it.
