The way kids are raised by their parents effects their decision making and their values, beliefs and self-image until the day they die. If a kid grows up figuring things out herself or is neglected etc., that kid is forced to do what is necessary to develop as fully as possible. Hamama and Arazi describe family relationships as being crucial in the development of the child. The article specifies that two direct ways that kids are hurt is through family cohesion and subjective well being. Family cohesion, in this article, is defined as the connections between family members that each family has, while subjective well being talks about people’s understanding of the life they live and how they react to everyday situations and how all that effects their emotional and cognitive mind. These two factors have shown to be directly correlated to children acting aggressively or unpleasant, according to Hamama and Arazi. Children’s aggression behavior includes three parts, according to Hamama and Arazi. “1. A cognitive dimension-hostility;2.an emotional dimension-anger; and 3. A behavioral dimension- physical and verbal violence” is how they defined aggressive behavior. Those two factors are largely what influences children and their development, in Hamama and Arazi’s eyes(Hamama and Arazi). This article lays a great foundation for the explanation of Into the Wild.

Teenagers may come across problems such as bullying or harassment in their daily lives. If these problems continue, the teenager might react violently. This happens because if young adults deal with their problems violently, they might go away, which is why I disagree with adults that young adults need to deal with challenges without violence.
Children of alcoholics (COAs) frequently take on roles of parents and feel responsible for their parent’s problems. Young children often exhibit problem behaviors because of high levels of tension and stress at home. These behaviors may range from younger children having nightmares, bed wetting, and crying to older children, displaying signs of depression, obsessive behaviors with perfectionism, hoarding, or self-consciousness. COAs have no consistency in their home life, which results in learning from their parent’s behavior. This often leads to significant behavior problems because they are unable to control themselves at home or school. Typically, COAs develop pervasive problems that significantly affect their abilities to learn, communicate, and develop friendships. COAs are exposed to more crime and violence due to their alcoholic parent. COA’s have a higher rate of becoming alcoholics themselves and a lower rate of graduating college.
Alcoholics experience many internal conflicts. The most dreadful one is denial because that is one of the many reasons why alcoholism is one of the most common domestic problems in the United States. The addict fails to see their problem; therefore, they are blocked from receiving rehabilitation (Angela, para. 5). Excessive alcohol consumption can promote violence in a household. The brain does not function properly when alcohol is processed (Alcohol, Violence, and Aggression, para. 1). So, an alcoholic can become easily offended as a result of the revelation of their faults and the reaction is usually very aggressive. Children who grow up in such a household, such as Heathcliff, do not trust many people and are used to being disappointed. A child of an alcoholic may also be led to believe that they are the cause of their parent’s illness (Alcohol Use in Families, para.

Adolescent violence has turned into an expanding issue in the U.S. youth violence and young people raised in the 1990s and has stayed high. Youth are the in all probability gathering to be casualties or culprits of high school violence, however the after effects of teenager violence influence everybody. Youth brutality insights demonstrate this is a significant issue: A normal of 15 youngsters are killed every day in the U.S., and more than 80 percent of those are killed with firearms (Khey, 2008). In 2004, brutality insights report 750,000 youngsters were dealt with in doctor 's facilities for roughness related wounds (Khey, 2008). One third of secondary school understudies reported being included in a battle at school in 2004, and 17 percent reported conveying a weapon to class in the month going before the 2004 overview (Khey, 2008). 1 in 12 young people in secondary school are harmed or undermined with a weapon every year (School Violence in America, 2015). 30 percent of junior and senior secondary school understudies are included in tormenting every year as the casualty, spook, or both (School Violence in America, 2015). According to a savagery measurements report by the U.S. Mystery Service, in the earlier decade, the chances of a secondary school understudy being harmed or debilitated with a weapon were around 1 in 14, and the chances of an adolescent being in a physical battle were 1 in 7 (Hiscock, 1926). Youth roughness can influence anybody, however a few
Many families are left devastated from losing their children to gang related killings. For example, Javon Reilly, a student who went to Van Horn High School was walking home and was shot. Tymon Reed and Javon had an issue because one of Javon’s friends stole some marijuana. When Javon was walking home Tymon happened to drive past him and pulled out a gun on him, Javon tried to wrestle the gun out of his hand and that’s when he was shot. After getting shot Javon attempted to limp away but Tymon shot him multiple times after that. When authorities arrived his friends were giving him CPR. He was rushed to the hospital and that’s where he died. Too many teenagers are involved with gang related or drug related stuff and sometimes it costs them their life.
About one third of every community experiences some sort of gang violence (Tucker). Although, it may not directly affect one specific community. It is making a great impact on the new generation. Gang violence among teens has become more prevalent in today’s society. For example, during the summer of 2017 in Lancaster South Carolina, five teenagers were murdered by other teens in gang affiliated behaviors. Thus, resulting in imprisonment. The question is how we punish these teens. Should they receive the death penalty for committing an act of murder? Or should they spend the rest of their lives in prison with a chance of being released back into society. What is the value of their lives? Understand they are in the prime of their lives.
