The Culture of Fear-- Chunk 2

Barry Glassner's "The Culture of Fear" talks about the different things we should be worrying about in our youth. Glassner says how the youth of today are at risk of suicide. And that to prevent suicide we should put tighter laws on guns because the kids that succeed at suicide is because they used guns. He also says how the majority of kids have gambled. How a kid got so much into debt that he "decided to end his gambling and his life". He also mentions how there are many teen pregnancies. How these parents are unfit to be mothers so then the kids grow up in an unstable household. Having an unstable household is what causes kids to suicide, to runaway, and and in the end get them hurt.
