Personal Introduction

I am Paul Ignacio Calizo Lao, currently a student in AdDU-SHS under 11-kasui. Growing up my parents would always talk about how people around you could be an influence to you, potentially encouraging you to do good, to do better, to do what is right on the other end and encourage you to do bad, to do what is not right or in general degrading you as a person. Later in my life this made me realize just how much people or a person can impact how a child would develop moving forward in their lives. With this in mind I try my best to be a positive influence to people, especially those younger than me, encouraging them to always do good, to do better and to do the same for others. Youth violence and juvenile justice . Both of these can be found anywhere in the world, involving young children engaging in various criminal acts and violence outside of homes, unsupervised by parents or guardians. This is a problem as these children/juveniles are still so young and are already living a life of crime which can heavily influence the path that they take in life potentially criminals in society. I believe that proper action should be done to prevent the youth partaking in such activities through proper supervision, positive influence and such, and that the youth who have already engaged in such activities should receive proper rehabilitation ñ. Youth violence and juvenile justice is a major concern around our communities, society, and around the world. Proper supervision, rehabilitation, and prevention should be done for our betterment and future generations.
