The persistence of the violence in México has allowed new ways of subjectivity through its internalization as a way to resist in a society where the words have lost their affectivity. The ascription to organized delinquency by the youth or the manifestation of violent behavior in different ambits has become more frequent. The silence and the fear also work as sources to legitimize this violence. The present paper presents some lines of thought about the testimonies of young people, who live in a context where the settlement of organized crime is accentuated. Their testimonies illustrate how they see their lives in a context that appears to present only two options: to assimilate or to be indifferent.

Keywords : Violence; subjectivity; group; imaginary; law.
