What causes domestic violence in teens? Many teens believe that violence is the key to every situation. Teens also believe that if someone disrespects them in any way, or if anyone puts their hands on them that, that means they can fight that person. When in reality you can go to jail for that or someone can sue you for that. Teens in my age group (16-18), also don’t believe in going to ask people for help or even going to tell someone when they’re in trouble. They believe that, that is called snitching
Media Violence has been discussed and debated for many years. Authors, such as Jonathan L. Freedman reveal issues that reveal how corporate storytellers are less concerned with imparting positive cultural values than they are with making great sums of money.

The Corruption of Media Violence A discussion about whether media violence leads to actual violence is being passed around worldwide. It has been said that a combination betwixt peer pressure and media violence is a dynamic component of the complexity of violent behavior.

accusations from the media, video game violence does not lead to aggressive behavior in the teens of today. The youth with pre-existing conditions show no increase in aggression as well as the healthy teens in the results from Journal of Youth and Adolescence (Springer). The Journal of Youth and Adolescence disproves what the media believes the games actually cause. There are specifically 33 independent tests that researched the effects of aggression and the relation of violence in video games. The
