Slide 8: We are all subjects of our environment

• Unfortunately, that’s something we cannot pick and choose.
• We can just learn and become better people (even if you feel like it’s too late).
• There are still questions unanswered on what, why, and how revolving childhood crime, but all we can do is stay informed, and keep bringing light to these situations.

Slide 9: Conclusion/ Key points

• Adolescent delinquency can start in poor neighborhoods surrounding heavy criminal activity, gangs, and violence.
• Delinquency can start when you’re placed into the foster care system.

• It can start when you’re in a home with both parents, healthy, or unhealthy.
• Starts anywhere, everywhere, all at once.
• We can’t prevent it all but we hold the most power at home, surrounded by our peers, and being aware of what’s happening with our children inside and out.
