Recognizing the red flags and warning signs of youth violence can be crucial in preventing violent behavior before it occurs. Here are some common indicators to look out for:
Anger Issues: Young people who struggle with anger management or have difficulty controlling their emotions are more prone to violent outbursts.
Substance Abuse: Substance abuse, particularly drugs like alcohol or marijuana, can lower inhibitions and lead to impulsive behavior that can escalate to violence.
Access to Weapons: Young people who have access to guns or other weapons may be more likely to engage in violent behavior.
Social Isolation: Isolation or feelings of rejection can lead to anger and frustration that may be expressed through violence.
