Communities coming together to stop city violence

I am Kennekca, a member of the Dorchester community, and I have a lot of major concerns in my community. For example, I think there should be more programs for the youth to go other than the streets. I also think some parents should not let there children run all over them. They should stand up and let them know who the parent is.

I also want to say we need more communities coming together for meetings and we should go to different neighborhoods to talk to youth and parents about these issues. We should come together as one to help our city become a better place to live in. I grew up in Boston and the city was never this corrupt. I used to go out and never have to worry about if I am going to hear a gunshot. My small children have to grow up here and many people don’t understand this violence has effects on children and others in the communities.

This message is coming from the heart, so I hope whoever reads this blog understands what I am talking about. Stop the violence and come together as one and we will make it through with GOD’s help and yours.

Love always,
Kennekca
