aroused the awareness of schoolviolence. Some people are concernedabout this phenomenon and urge thegovernment to ban violent comics forpeople under the age of eighteen. Theyare worried about that these comic books will harm our future leaders. Istrongly share this view. In this essay, I will argue that banning violentcomics for teenagers under the age of eighteen should be implemented.In fact, reading those violent comics is really time-wasting. Whatcan the youngsters really learn from those books? Kungfu? Ways totorture or kill? Actually, the teenagers are just lured by the excitement ofthe fighting and bloody scene in the violent comics. Reading thosecomics will only squander time meaninglessly. As we all know, theschedule of the Hong Kong‟s education curriculum is very tight. Studentsare required to grasp knowledge within a very short period of time. Oncethey get addicted to reading violent comics, they will dedicate all theirspirits into the comic books but not theiracademic studies. As a corollary, they can learnnothing useful. Since Hong Kong has aknowledge-based economy, we need to have ahigh academic qualification; otherwise, we haveto struggle hard for survival in the future. Violentcomics should be banned for teenagers under theage of eighteen so they can concentrate more ontheir studies and have more time to equip themselves and raise theircompetitiveness. Our society‟s future will be brighter as a result.48
