What is happeing to the Youth of Boston when they lose Hope?
When the citizen schools program was closed along with other youth opportunity programs, because of the fact that one man made the decision of exterminating the programs to fund law enforcement, the tables turned dramatically. The tables really turned because people, in general, these days want money. Who wants to come to school in the same clothes you left with when the school doors closed?
Nobody! Everyone wants to come through those school doors looking their best. If job opportunity's aren't there, what do people expect people, young people, to do? Just sit around and wait for a circle of sympathy to bring their violins of understanding and fake hugs? You know and i know what many would do. They would turn to the streets because to them that is the only opportunity that they have to make money.
Why? This is happening because 4 million dollars of Youth opportunity money was given to law enforcement. Look at the cycle people. No jobs for youth and they would be on the streets. The money is used to supply mor cops and lock up young people on the streets. It is not their fault that they were not given any support from the government or the adults who are supposed to be rolemodels and teaching them the good deals in life. Why should they loose hope over money?
