       According to the sheriff in Volusia County, Florida, “Threats, school shootings, teen crimes are five times higher than they were last year at this time. It is obvious that public embarrassment is not working to get our children’s attention.” We, now, must realize that a lack of parental involvement, mass media, and peer pressure plays an important role in the lives of our children. Teen mental health and suicide are the second leading causes of death for youths between the ages of 13-19 years old. 22 teenagers are shot every day in this country. Gun shots are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America, many are shot with assault weapons.
