Teenage violence is increasing A mother was threatened with death by her son.



A mother was threatened with death by her son

Studies made by Cambridge University have showed that teenage violence is increasing without control. The teacher Matthew Levis, leader of these investigations, said that is a characteristic of the modern life style.

“Everyday it is more common to see angry people on the streets. People tend to be more aggressive than ten years ago, because of stress and the incapability to solve their problems without violence”.

According with Mr. Levis there are a lot of reason for this kind of violence but the most common one is the lack of attention from parents.

“Adolescents throw tantrums to get their parents attention but, unfortunately, they cannot express their feelings, so they lose the control of the situation”.

The Advani family experience is a perfect example of this issue. Last Friday night, Junior Advani threatened his mother with death with a knife. It was a shocking experience for Mr. Advani who had to take away his son to teach him respect.

In the world there are a lot of families which suffer from teenager violence. The teacher Matthew Levis says:

“It is so important to contact a specialist to solve this problem”.

this is just a game

kisses and dishes
it's always the same
he flashes his wishes
how can I explane?

in the quay
he is waiting
I can see he has a key
that's twinkling
just for me

I cann't see neither eat
he is in the dark warehouse
where I saw him the first date
where we kissed each other
again again and again

My favourite piece of art


It is "The kiss" by Auguste Rodin.
It is a marble sculpture which represents lovers.


The original title of this sculpture was Francesca da Rimini, who was a character of Dante's Inferno. According with the book, she was married but unfortunately Francesca fell in love with her husband younger brother.
This sculpture represents the moment when they were discovered and the killed by her husband. For this reason, their lips do not touch each other to suggest that they were interrupted.

Personally, I like this sculpture because it was perfectly worked -each detail is exact and beautiful. Also, It remembers me when I used to draw humans bodies at high school- I was really good doing it. Besides, I like it due to the fact that the kiss is the most common show of affection and it represents love. Usually, when we walk on the stress whatever we look at it is possible to see a couple kissing each other, maybe some of them are more passionate than other ones but the interaction between men and women is just the same, love.


If I were a sculptor I would like to represent the pregnancy too because after the kiss it is the second most beautiful interaction between people.
