"lately In The News They've Been Talking About How Likely It Is For A Black Male Teenager To Get Shot And Killedespecially In My Neighborhood.

Ever Since I Was Three I've Been Going To Sunday School, And I've Learned About God And His Ways. And I Made Up My Mind To Follow Jesus. No, You'll Never See Me With A Gun Shooting Anyone. Ever! Because No Matter What's Going On Around Me, I Am Standing For Jesus."vincent, Age 12
