Violence Caused By A Dysfunctional Family

Heart racing, speed increasing, the teenager tried to outrun the bullet. You cannot outrun a bullet, so you know what happened next. Just that fast the society loses another citizen due to violence. Violence should never be your choice to a problem because it can always take someone's life away. The constant disruption of violence has to stop because it has changed me for life to where I portray every situation I’m indifferent, violence is commonly caused by a dysfunctional family, and violence can be prevented by the families uniting together and the society, communicating with one another.

Violence is like a heavy iron weight, bearing down on anyone who becomes trapped underneath it. For instance, I will never forget what I witnessed that

night because the visual in my head constantly reminds me every step of the way. The bright sunny sky faded away as the dark blue color started to appear. Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! The clock struck 12:00; my brother still wasn't home yet. Finally, my brother came in around 1:00, by that time I was already asleep. Suddenly, I was woken up by a roar of noise; I walked out my room and peeked around the corner. I couldn't believe what I saw, it was a nightmare, and my brother had blood gushing out of his head and his top lip. I glanced over at my mother and saw her rapidly throwing glass and can goods on him. I wondered how she could do this to her own child just for coming home past curfew. I ran over to him and figured he’d be dead, but he still had a pulse, so I quickly called the paramedics. I was so devastated to see him like that, but I was so obliged he wasn't dead. From that day forward I realized that could’ve been me instead of my brother so I changed my life instantly. Violence plays a major role in how I am today because it has caused me to be divergent, to where I respond to every situation differently.
Did you know violence causes more than 1.6 million deaths worldwide every year?

Violence primarily originates from a dysfunctional family. A dysfunctional family is a family that in which conflict, misbehavior, and often child neglect or abuse are displayed, leading its viewers to become instinct to such actions. When this behavior becomes instinct, whenever he/she gets involved in conflict their first choice will be to solve the problem with violent behavior. Children sometimes grow up in such families with the understanding that such behavior is normal. In other words, a child who is spanked, hit, beaten, or threatened with violence will have a tendency to become violent himself or herself. For instance, in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, 16-year-old Alex Hribal rampaged through his high school's hallways, stabbing wildly with two kitchen knives, the first hints of a possible motive began to emerge. Alex’s attorney believed that his client may have been bullied. Turns out he wasn’t bullied, but he was affected of some sort to make him perform such crime. With more investigating the authorities suspect Alex was in a dysfunctional home, which caused him to rampage through his hallways due what he witnessed in his household. This could’ve been prevented if Alex tried to reach out to a counselor, police, or even a close

friend.
Pranab Mukherjee once said, “No problems are ever resolved by violence. It only aggravates the pain and the hurt on every side.” Basically, you can never come to a compromise by fighting or harming one another with violence because in the end both sides will get hurt, there will be no winners. Violence can be prohibited by the families uniting together and the society communicating with one another. For one, parents can start connecting with their children about school and their emotions. Parents can also try to work in more family time with their children to create a better bond with each other. The society can communicate with each other by holding community meetings discussing their problems in their lives and giving reasonable solutions to their fellow community. The society can also go to the school meetings and ask questions they have regarding their child's behavior and receive updates on school conflicts such as bullying.
Violence is always going to try to come into our lives, but it's our choice to make sure that we refuse to let it in.

Violence in every form needs to stop because it has changed me for life to where I portray every situation I’m indifferent, violence is commonly caused by a dysfunctional family, and violence can be prevented by the families uniting together and the society communicating with one another. In life, there is no person in the world who never gets angry, upset, aggravated, or sad. We all have bad days and there are going to be people in life who will push our buttons or try to test us. It’s very important that we learn from a young age appropriate ways to handle our frustrations. Starting now, we can start with educating our young, family members, community members, and organized groups such as athletic teams and girl/boy scouts on the idea that violence is never the answer. It can also be helpful to discuss openly and honestly with our partner’s ways we can communicate effectively in heated situations so that we do not resort to violence. Sadly my brother was a victim of violence but if you take this stance you won’t have to experience the horrible effects of what violence

does.
