And so I can name thousands of cases of violence that claim lives daily worldwide. Violence is a reality that we live every day, but that we ignore. We tend to see people arguing, people hitting others, maybe "playing at hitting", people who are rude, people who criticize, people who lie, people who simply do negative things. But they have consequences. And we do nothing.
But, it's not a problem that is given due attention. When we see cases of minor violence like some of the ones I just mentioned, it's taken as "nonsense". Nobody pays attention to that kind of thing.
There are even places where violence is totally normal behavior, and is a symbol of rudeness, or strength. Places like villages, or small places where there is not much knowledge on the subject. But, it can also be seen in big cities.
Violence is a reality that we must face.
Currently, violence among young people is rampant. It is common to see violent challenges on social networks like TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It's something we all know, we see it all the time. But we just laugh as if it were a funny meme, and click "share".
Violence is not funny, violence is bad, it's mean, it's dastardly, it's deplorable, it's disgusting, it's inhumane, it's a crime.
It's not funny to see people argue, or come to blows. It is not right not to know what our children do, what our children see on cell phones, television or the Internet. It's not okay not to know what he hides in his room.
It is known that privacy is important, but as parents we must be vigilant and prevent violent acts. Observe the behaviors of our children objectively. As well as to give them corrective measures.
However, not only parents have this task. We all have responsibility for what happens in society. Like when we observe that something is wrong, but we do nothing to prevent it. Then you are also a part of it.
Or when in educational centers we ignore what we see. And students' requests are not attended to. I remember in high school, many things happened, but nobody did anything. They just told you that you should be strong, face the problem and that's it. But, for the source of the problem, for them there was no correction.
So it's not enough to just look, you have to act! You have to stop this kind of thing from happening. We have to make this world a safer place for women, children, youth and men. Because we can all be victims of violence at some time.
We must raise awareness that it is a problem. Above all, we must raise awareness among young people who take this issue very lightly. Make them see it for what it is: something that is wrong.
And that it can have serious consequences, such as death or imprisonment.
It is necessary to know the laws.
In my country, Venezuela, they have decreed an *Anti Bullying Law, all because of the violent acts of the kids in the schools. This is a problem that exists since a long time ago, and that with the time has only increased to the point of creating a law to create conscience, avoiding all this.
But not only in Venezuela there are laws, in all countries there are laws. We know their names, but we do not know their content.
So today I invite all of you to buy the laws of your countries, or download them from the Internet. Read them as a family, so that we all know the criminal consequences of our actions.
We know that certain things are bad, but do we know the legal consequences? No, most don't know how many years in jail is given, or the fines or penalties. They don't know what article they are violating, or how many things are punishable by law.
So these activities or tips, will allow us to be aware and create awareness in the people we know. In this way we can contribute our positive grain of sand to society.
But, she asked for it."
This small comment by way of subtitle, is one of many that are used as justification. When, it has no logical estimation. We always blame the victim for what happens. For not defending themselves, for keeping quiet, for not seeking help, for, for, for....
We refuse to see the real problem, that there is a violent act and the responsible is the one who commits it. But this, too, has no justification. In fact, most of the atrocious cases begin with misunderstandings, jealousy, envy, or other motives.
Very few of them are objects worth considering relevant. Let's say for defense, which is the only justifiable motive, in my opinion.
So most of the time it is vain or silly things that move us to be aggressive. I would go so far as to say that most of the world's population needs psychological help regarding the way they act. And it wouldn't be bad, because it would help us to be more tolerant.
So this is not a subject to be taken lightly, it is something serious, which requires everyone's attention.
