Well, the bible will tell us very clearly whose voice matters when it comes to violence. An entire 52 chapters of the bible are dedicated to the "voice" of a man, Jeremiah, who started his ministry in his youth. In fact, his ministry started before he was even born!
If the voice of Jeremiah didn't matter in his youth, then do the voices of the youth matter today? Consider the FACT that the youth NEED the gift and expression of "brotherly love" in their youth.
Some youth are "convinced" in their mind that God is not for them. a. educators b. parents c. negative influences have convinced them that there is NO LOVE or COMPASSION for them in their youth. Hence their voice is "dull" or "dimmed" in this world. (Be careful some youth groups are there for entertainment instead of true love for God and man)
Does the voice of the youth matter when it comes to "school violence"? Yes. A little violence problem in the youth can affect the future for the child, including marriage and career choice.
It is difficult to "live" life on this earth as a whole, so it is important to consider the voice of the youth, even if that voice is "skewed" by certain agendas or misinterpretations of this and that.
All in all, we as humanity should HOPE the voice of the youth considers "repenting," "hearing from God" putting "hope in Jesus" in their youth, so that they don't have to cater to the worldly ways or even worse yet, to cater to violence.
This is not a post that is "praising" any political party as the youth do not vote.
Yes, there are strange cases where the youth convince themselves to do special "challenges" that are not good for their body (tide pod challenge). The best way to prevent this problem is to make sure that the friends and family are not influencing them to do bad things to themselves in the first place. If that means not using a regular brick and mortar school, or going on a long vacation away from influence of these family members, then that is what it means.
