Why are children/teens beating up other children/teens?

Question

Besides the teen that got beaten up by the other 8 teens.. I just heard on the news that a 10 and 11 yr old beat this 10 yr old girl because she told them to stop bullying her little sister and they beat her up so bad they broke her hip. ...Another story is how a teen beat up a teacher.... This is terrible...This wasn't happening before the news about teenager getting beaten up........Who do you think they are doing this??? This beating definitely needs to stop..No one should have to get beaten up

Answer 1

De-sensitized by Media and Entertainment.

Have you heard todays music, seen movies and TV - read the paper - Most kids grow up with mayhem around them all day - they don't feel any sense of respect for other humans.

Answer: boot camp schools - ship troubled kids away from troubled peers and offer them the opportunity to prove worth and value to themselves and others.

The US taxpayer already pays for their school -and if you haven't learned - at a very high cost - why not go all the way and mix kids from around the country in a strick setting - if parents can't discipline kids - then paid contractors can.

This is not military - but education the way is should be.

Answer 2

isn't this crazy how will it get by when my future kids go to school.

Answer 3

I can't believe that someone suggested that beating children for fighting will solve the problem.  Violence towards kids is one of the causes of them turning on others, genius!  

On top of that, it is not always the parent's fault.  Ever heard of peer pressure?  Some kids will follow along so that they do not turn in to the victims as well.

Answer 4

I'd like to call it!  Terrible parenting!  Good parents teach thier kids to fight only in defense.  bad parents tell them otherwise or just don't tell them at thier the kids are left unguided!  Either way one good way to fix that problem is to train your kids how to defend themselves and teach them great morals... you know the whole good parent thing.  I just don't think people grasph the concept of how to raise thier kids...  the kids where just a product of not keepingyour legs closed.  Now Parents are dealing with it rather making hte best of it!  And as a reuslt you got kids acting like primates on national TV and in the streets.  

Personally if I ever saw that SH** in me streets I wuold literally go over thier grab the little primate bend him or her over my knee and slap'em so hard that thier SH** comes out of thier mouth... I bet they'll straightin up and fly right then!

Answer 5

Things just arent like they used to be.  When I was a teenager, which was only about ten years ago.  If I would have done something like this I would have been severly punished at home, which these kids today are not getting.  Putting kids in corners and time outs are not working, you can tell this by the way kids are today, no respect.  I dont think you need to beat your children, but there is a HUGE difference between discipline and beating.

Answer 6

Because they are bullies!

Answer 7

I'm horrified by this! Imagine how hard they had to stomp on the girl to break her hip, she also went into shock. These are 10 year olds! I think a lot of this is parents just not instilling any type of morals or empathy in thier kids. So many kids today are self absorbed and could care less about anyone else's feelings or pain. They're also allowed to watch whatever violent adult TV shows they want, or play whatever violent video games they want because parents think it's not "cool" to actually parent and want to be the kids best friend and let them do, see, or say whatever they want. In my opinion, 10 year olds being this violent is a direct result of poor parenting. Peer pressure alone could not make someone stomp a kid and break her bones, you have to not have any moral compass to do that, and 10 is certainly old enough to know that beating someone is horrible and a 10 year old isn't too incompetent to understand that beating someone inflicts severe pain on them. Just because they're kids doesn't mean they shouldn't have any standards. They're 10, not 2, and a 10 year old has no excuse but a bad parent to not know better.
