youth violence

Youth violence refers to harmful actions, such as physical fights, bullying, or weapon use, committed by young people typically aged 10 to 24. It often stems from a mix of factors including peer pressure, family issues, exposure to violence, socioeconomic challenges, and mental health concerns. This behavior can have serious consequences for individuals and communities, leading to injuries, criminal records, and emotional trauma. Addressing youth violence requires understanding its root causes, promoting positive social environments, and providing support and intervention programs to guide young people towards healthier, non-violent ways of resolving conflicts.
