Violence should come to an end. by: kathy, jessenia, Berlin, Lorena

We believe that gangs are getting more and more violent. For example, according to the news, the initiation to the Blood Gang started last week, with the killing of three girls, on in Brooklyn and two in New Jersey. Already there has been reportings of 31 slashes just on Halloween. According to the News, their goal is 300. In order to try to avoid this to happen to you, your family, or any of your friends, we urge you to follow these precautions:

1) stay home or arrive before a certain time
2) Dont be alone after dark
3) Dont wear red
4) if you feel or see something suspicious, avoid any type of contact and look for help ASAP.

In our opinion, people who are willing to risk losing everything in order to get into a gang is stupid. You should try to do everything in your power to stay safe in these harsh times.

This posting was very nicely written. You showed that you know how to write for a public forum.

From which news source did you get your information? Remember people always like to read or YouTube for more info, so give them your sources.

I'm sorry that you feel unsafe in your community on Halloween or any other day. I know what that can be like. This would be a good problem to explore further.

Well done! You should work for Bronx 12. Your tone is perfect for the subject matter. I have to agree with Ms. Ray though. Any time you refer to another news source, you should mention their name. Otherwise, readers will just think you are making things up.
