Violence in School Home - Violence in School
This site is all about learning about school violence and how to prevent it. Every year there are thousands of violent attacks such as rape, vandalism and physical attacks happening in schools all around the world.



First of all I'm going to talk about all the myths about bullying such as where is comes from and what brings it on. I was on this website and it had all kinds of myths on bullying. Here is what I found on that site:

Myth: “Bullying is just, stage, a normal part of
life. I went through it my kids will too. ”
Fact: Bullying is not “normal” or socially acceptable
behaviour. We give bullies power by our acceptance
of this behaviour.

Myth: “If I tell someone, it will just make it
worse.”
Fact: Research shows that bullying will stop
when adults in authority and peers get involved .

Myth: “Just stand up for yourself and hit them
back”
Fact: While there are some times when people
can be forced to defend themselves, hitting back
usually makes the bullying worse and increases
the risk for serious physical harm.

Myth: “Bullying is a school problem, the teachers
should handle it”
Fact: Bullying is a broader social problem that often
happens outside of schools, on the street, at
shopping centers, the local pool, summer camp
and in the adult workplace.”

Myth: “People are born bullies”
Fact: Bullying is a learned behaviour and behaviours
can be changed.

This Video is about the Columbine Shooting.










In all the research I was able to do I found more stuff about violence in American Schools than Canada and several other countries put together.

According to the U.S. Department of education, each year is estimated to have 3 million thefts and violent related crimes occuring in or around school, averaging out to be approximately 16,000 incident per day.
