A seventeen year old student named Naira Cofreces was beat up after her night class in Argentina on Wednesday, April 23,2014 at 10 p.m. She was jumped by two of her classmates and one unknown adult. The suspects are 17,22, and 29. They have all been arrested and currently are in custody. Days before the attack took place, there was an altercation with the two classmates and the victims friend who is unidentified because she is a minor. The two classmates said that the victim and her friend would walk around like they were models and thought that they were more beautiful than everyone else. After that there was tension between the two groups. About a week after the altercation Niara was attacked. After the attack, Naira was able to make it home in her bed. The next morning she did not wake up and was rushed to the local hospital. Doctors said there was hematoma on the left side of her brain and serious bruising through out her brain. They had to do two surgeries but on the second one there were complications and Naira was pronounced head on Sunday night.

This is one of the most cruel and unfortunate stories I have heard in a while. I am livid at the fact that this seventeen year old student died because of her beauty and the way she walks. That is jealousy to a whole different extent. These criminals should not get anything less than life, especially the 29 year old because she did not go to do the school nor did she have anything to do with the altercation. I feel as if this was premeditated and was carried out the way they wanted it to go. Extreme consequences are needed soon in order for justice to be served.

Nicely written. This topic really caught my attention. I believe that social media is to be blamed for all this unnecessary teen violence. Through violent video games, solely hearing about death on the news, and by the word of mouth we are brainwashed into a violent daze. In turn, it all boils down to psychology and instinct. Throughout millions of years, homo sapiens used the method of killing..but only if it guaranteed survival.
The media misconstrues our way of thinking. Jealousy is nothing but an ugly persona our species has developed in order to feel significant. There are millions of people around the world suffering and dying because of poverty, hunger, and because of malicious killings. In order for our civilization to advance, we have to put our differences aside. It’s just sad and idiotic to see civilized and spoiled human beings kill one another.

These three criminals have no right to attack this 17 year old girl just because of how she looks or walks whatever the jealousy was, the following criminals should spend the rest of their lives in prison. Absolutely no one on earth has the right to stalk,attack, and bully anyone just because. We are all in this world to help each other out and to gain each others trust. Our generation is becoming more and more crazier every day and by following others steps does not get us anywhere or make us sound or look any more cool. This needs more than justice.
