Local News and Headlines

One day, I really hope I'll have some good news to report to you about Philadelphia but once again get ready to shake your heads and say little silent prayer for the youth of this great city. Teenage girls are becoming more and more violent today. Mean Girls was not just a movie, it's a reality. A 15 year old girl from West Philadelphia High School was stabbed on her way home from school by another young female on Monday. This has got to stop. Young girls need guidance now more than ever. Philadelphia is already one of the leading cities for gun violence and this problem just adds fuel to the fire. It won't be long before young girls are bringing weapons to school to protect themselves against their classmates. Not to single out one particular group, but this problem seems to be growing among the African American girls in schools. I am not too fresh out of high school myself and I have seen first hand how jealousy among girls turns into fights. The sad thing is that it usually has something to do with a boy. Not to bash the men, but young girls need to become more unified and stand together rather than try to tear each other down.

Tell me what you think...
