I watched a BET special last night entitled Heart of the City -Chicago War on Violence. This documentary was about teen deaths related to violence and guns. These are some of the beliefs of the young people in Chicago:
 
Guns, you going to school or hussle
Don't believe I have choices
We just out here
It's about disrespect and money
Don't expect to live past 25
After fighting there is going to be gun play
 
This is not just the mindset of teens in Chicago, it is the mindset of many urban youth in cities across America.  
 
What must we do, to to change the mindset of our teen youth?

Change the mindset of those entrusted with the proper raising of our children/youth and the universe will again, come to order. A story... The young boy went to his grandfather and asked, "Grandfather, is it true that the Lion is King of the Jungle? Yes, my son, this is true...but, why do you ask? Well, Grandfather, if this is true, then why is it, that in all the books I read and all the stories I hear, man always defeats the lion? How can this be true?" The elder smiled the smile of remembering when and answered as he had been answered to. He said, "and it will always be that way, My Son, until the Lion tells the story." Peace and Blessings.
