Teen slashed in AMK

Summary: The article writes about another incident of youth violence. This time round at Block 448, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. The victim, who left a blood trail from outside a 24-hour restaurant, where the attack took place, was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The New Paper reported on Friday that the two youths had got into a loud dispute and a shoving match before the victim was knifed.

Comment: This incident happened after two other incidents of slashing at Downtown East, and also Bukit Panjang. As a 17-year old myself, I feel worried after reading such reports as it involves teenagers. I really think that it is stupid for the teenagers to be a part of a gang, and start slashing others from another group. However, we cannot totally blame teengers for being a part of those gangs. They might be having problems with their parents who might be too busy with their career, and teenagers feel left out, then decide to join those groups. Maybe you'll feel a sense of belonging, but you don't have to be a gangster. This is where choosing the right group of friends comes in.
