How Is Teen Violence Affecting Teens

Issues Affecting Teens
Good Morning/afternoon Miss Blanch and class, I’m going to be talking about teen violence and factors that can trigger it. I select this issue as I think it’s an issue worth talking about because teen violence is the worst especially when it causes injury or even death. This issues is not expressed in The Formal but it is still a very important to talk about, many Australian teens have experienced violence either with friends or at parties where alcohol and/or drugs is consumed. Alcohol plays a big part of teen violence because they cannot think straight, they think the room is spinning and anyone who says something that comes across in the wrong way that’s when the first punch is thrown. These problems can be solved by not always drinking out, ignoring what people say.
Teen violence is a very serious according to officials; articles have been published saying that 15-19 year olds are the most dangerous people. Teens are responsible for a disturbing number of bashings, robberies, abductions and sexual attacks and 17 year olds are the worst offenders. The rate of assaults in the 15-19 aged group was 886 per 100 000 people in 2011, compared to 85 per 100 000 for 55-59 aged offenders. Robberies and extortion in younger age group were committed at a rate of 115 per 100 000 people, sexual attacks were most prevalent amongst 15 year olds with 64 offences per 100 000 people compared to 18 per 100 000 aged
