19 years old… life barely even started, and now someone’s future is either lost to the system or gone forever. And for what? Pride? Ego? A moment of anger?

We’re living in a time where too many people think being feared is more valuable than being respected. But there’s nothing strong about pulling a trigger—what’s strong is knowing when not to.

You’re right to shake your head. It shouldn’t be normal, and the fact that it’s becoming that way is heartbreaking.
