Students Can Live Without School Violence

 

            School violence is a big problem we are facing now. Do we feel safe in school? Not only students are involved in this issue, but teachers are also involved. Every morning when I go to school, I pray for safety in my heart, and so do my parents, and every day I come back home safely as everybody hopes. School is not an absolutely good place for learning anymore. Years ago, parents always told their children go to school earlier, so they could learn more. Every single parent wished their kids would go to school and get a good education. But look at today's society, parents say, "don't go to school too early, because there might be bad people hiding somewhere." Fear of school-related violence kept five percent of high school students home at least once in the month according to the most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey.

(School Violence Let's Get it out of Our System! .
             "Families are different today , people are not at home as much as there used to be." Said Gepharat, a congressman, referring to violence issues. Home is the first place where children start to learn. Before entering school, they learn everyhting from home. Home used to present a warm place filled with love where everybody wished to be. Family problems today make the role of family even more important in society. How many run-away kids look for the love they need and the care they want? They can't get it fromhome, so they end up being mean, acting odd and physically show that htey need help.
